Any sageuk beanies watching Captivating the King? Fictional king in a real time period. Glad it’s not King Injo, but also not sure how they are going to change history without getting history buffs all in a tizzy.
I want to start it. I don’t know what to expect, I read the plot months ago but now I don’t remember it.
I’ll have a look at it because I like the actors.
I love it so far but the plot feels lile two different shows. One is the serious sageul and one is a romcom. The difference is crazy lol. I just want the romcom one!!
I was planning to start it this week. The mix-n-match history doesn’t bother me but I may not be interested (at least not right now) if this is going to be mostly dark, brooding, and violent. Winter is hard enough!!

I love JJS, but his leading lady is a big question mark.

I’ve been thinking about starting this one, but I haven’t yet. The whole time issue thing. I hope you’re enjoying it though!

So it seems good so far, but JJS is doing all the heavy lifting right now.

Watching it for Jo Jung Seok. Am treating it as “real” as any other K-drama.
