Joseon kitties on the poster 😍

This might turn out to be a stinker based on the promo pics but then again, might not. It is more of a crap shoot, right?

I like the idea of this but that poster🤨 If the King’s marriage was all sweetness and light but times have changed surely they should have had something on the poster indicating trouble lies ahead. The poster art for the recent dramas has been on point giving a really clear indication of what the drama is about so when you look back later you see the key themes and players were all there hidden in plain sight. 👀 confused.com

Wait, this is the second drama in a row in which KYD has to fight off a claim that he's a eunuch, right? I hope this time he responds better than by flashing someone.

I'm not sure about this drama. I like the actors but KYD wasn't really convincing as a King in the other teasers and looks like they will be a love triangle.

This is basically a Joseon rom-com right? I’m always in for a scheming leading lady and PJY looks like she’ll be a fun one.

I think I would have preferred to see KYD in a more serious role. I liked him in Penthouse (he had that kind of quality that made him stand out in an ensemble cast). But, I was less fond of Shooting Stars where I thought the comedy didn't work so well. I will probably hit play on this, but I'm already dubious that i will stick with it. I like my historical dramas more serious and less rom-com.

For US viewers good news. MBC’s THE FORBIDDEN MARRIAGE is now on Viki US’s “Coming Soon” list.
That removes one drama from my Availability Angst list. The other one right now on the list is tvN’s MISSING: THE OTHER SIDE 2.

I am very impressed by the look of TFM’s promo pics and teasers. Whoever is in charge of the look of the production is going a great job.
Perhaps it is also the result of having two directors.
After all the drama in the great UTQU I am looking forward to a comedy sageuk.

I am rewatching S**ting Stars---and laughing almost every moment---so I am happy to see Kim Young Dae has another role coming.
But can a sageuk every be light and frothy? I really need a light and frothy kdrama right now.

Yikes, that poster....I know it is based off a webtoon, but the webtoon's art is much nicer than what we got here. The story is intriguing enough and I do like the actors enough to probably check it out.

That poster is just… not it. While I really like Park Joo-hyun and don’t doubt that she can pull off whatever role she’s given, I am more skeptical about Kim Young-dae. On one hand, I don’t think he has the gravitas and presence required of a king quite yet, which I personally think is a necessity for such a role - no matter the genre. On the other hand, what if he surprises us all? I’m not holding out hope for that, but I guess it’s better to hope for something tentatively okay than a complete and utter disaster.

Or maybe not. Maybe this will have the ‘so bad, it’s good’ energy that’s missing from the current crop.

“Proving he isn’t a eunuch”? This is getting too ridiculous and it hasn’t even started yet!
