The Greatest “Oh It Hurts So Good So Please Continue to Rip My Heart Out” Drama: Seven Day Queen
This is the drama I love to pieces when it tears me apart. The pain felt so visceral that I couldn’t comment much on its recap because it hurt too much to relive each episode (I am a biggest coward, I know.) I still cannot make myself watch the last episode despite much assurances from Beanies that the ending for the disposed queen is beautifully satisfying.
Thank you for a beautifully told story of two people who are caught in impossible circumstances who must make the right decisions for reasons other than themselves.
And you know when you watch a sageuk with the most wonderful child actors that you almost want the story just to be about them as kids? This is one of those dramas for me.
I totally understand, but that’s the thing @carmen …..despite the angst, much of the show is also funny and lighthearted and I never felt frustrated even when the pain was great. It was juggling pathos beautifully and the emotion felt earned.
But yeah, each time I pressed play I felt that I needed to take a deep breathe to get ready of whatever was in store for the viewers.
Definitely one of my favorite period dramas!! I wish more people watched it because the show is wonderful.
TBH I don’t think I would have picked this up if it was airing in 2019 @loveblossom …..I only wanted to watch fluff most of the year until The Untamed happened.
