I've watched it o... Lol. You can't put it better; simply awesome! I enjoyed every bit of it. Like you suspected earlier, it was streamlined along the actual historical happenings.

I like the fact that each major player gets as much as he/she deserves. The biggest struck was the Jeok Hak's family, her mama? Waoh, I can't have it better. Those people got a taste of being an helpless servants ke. Lol.. No pity for the mother, actually! And the King? His overwhelming defeat had overrun his sense of judgment. The toppling of his rule was seen coming. I see him as an architect of his misfortune. Too much misrule in his reign. Noksu? Lol... Poor Noksu.. I don't know why I feel the angst transferred on her by the people was largely unmerited. Ouch, she's a co-traveler of the King and of course, partner-in-crime. Finally, I'm happy for Hong Chum Dong, family and his comrades. Those guys are the best. And the biggest gainer in all of these is?? Yeah, Mori! He came to the party late, got repented and eventually become baptized. I'm happy for him. Lol..

The series is sure an interesting ride. I enjoyed my time..

I think I was much more happy with how Jeong Hak and his mother ended up than I was with the King and Noksoo. Cos while I kinda knew how the King and Noksoo will end up, I couldn't predict Jeong Hak and mummy Hak's ending.
It was pretty gratifying to see them end up as the servants they spent their entire lives hating, no other end could have been better.

I like how the bad guys King, Noksoo, scholar Song et al were unrepentant till the end. It would have been out of character if any of them had any sudden bout of repentance in the end.

And I'm happy none of the Hong brothers died in battle. I couldn't have asked for anything more, just keep the brothers safe. Thanks, writernim.

I kinda wish Gil Dong introduced his wife to his brother and sister specially, but anyhow, maybe the director of the drama was conserving screentime.

@bolded, I don't know why this made me laugh so much. Mori got a family and a sister! Yippeee!!!!! Even though the sister was pretty much wasted in the drama.

@vikkytan49, Bakare19, have you guys watched Rebel finale yet?

It was all shades of awesome! I have so much to say, I don't even know where to start from.

gmorn:

U just won't believe it if I say yes
Dots was last 2 yrs.
That movie talk started as soon as dots ended.
Shuuu.
See so ji sub. If u don't wanna do drama pls appear in shows to maintain ur popularity.

Just do something. No matter how popular u r,out of sight is always out of mind even to spouses.

For ladies I can understand they may marry and hv kids so their schedule will Def change but these guys,
It is well.

I'm worried cos I don't want what they word so hard to achieve to just fade away cos of wrong moves.

As long as he doesn't pull a Won Bin on us, it's fine. That Won Bin hasn't done any acting project since 2010, some netizens say he's now a CF actor.


The thing is, the longer they stay away from movies/dramaland, the harder it is to return. Because nobody wants a flop comeback and if people that used to be interested in them have moved on, a flop is almost inevitable.

It's been 400years since Do Min Joon came to earth and since Oppa's movie has been announced.

The first trailer is out....finally! Whew!

And the movie itself is coming out in June.

I guess Oppa will be in the news a lot more from now on since he's gonna be promoting the movie...his last before military service.

gmorn:

What is that guy waiting for for drama sake?

Dots will soon reach 100 yrs.
Two yrs of military service,one drama and hiatus.
New faces r taking over.
There us a peak season in each actors life. He is at his peak and should embrace it.
For me a yr and half then news about possible new drama will follow.
Anyway,why am I worried sef.

Babe relax na, DoTS was just last year. Anyway, he has a movie with So Ji Sub coming out later this year. He's pretty busy with that.


Oh and welcome back. Did you travel to Busan or something?

kangminhyuksho:
finally go kyung pyo gets a lead role, this is both happy n sad news for me cos on the upside yay gkp totally deserves it but on the downside I really really really really really REALLY wanted that role to go to kang ha Neul hmm, anyways sung Yuri got married recently, that is a completely happy news for me, I hope she gets lots of happiness

*currently watching*: tunnel, whisper, man to man
song of d day: take it- wonder girls

Kang Haenul has an offer for an upcoming SBS drama. Besides, I want him to act with Kim Seulgi first before anyone else.

Gkp and my Chae Soobin

kangminhyuksho:
am I dreaming or has jeon hye bin finally gotten a lead role in falsify, this is such good news. all those people saying they won't watch it cos of her can go to sleep, people who will watch it will watch it n I'm number 1

*currently watching*: tunnel, whisper, man to man
song of d day: all the songs on SISTAR's third single album

Methinks you're still dreaming, because yes, she's a confirmed cast member of Falsify, but SBS is still looking for a female lead. The actress they offered the role has opted out, but they are still begging her to reconsider.



Except if SBS has moved on and bumped up Jeon Hye Bin to female lead, which is always a welcome idea.


She and Im Joo Eun are leading lady materials, I don't understand why they are perpetually stuck in second lead territory.

Macelliot:
What's fucking wrong with sojuoppa? I prefer using UC mini browser while accessing it because it downloads the fastest. but since yesterday, it's no longer working. Chrome and Firefox are working fine but too slow in downloading compared to UC.

Please, what's fucking wrong?

According to the admin of the site, it no longer works with mini browsers.

Yaaay! Father is Strange finally broke 30% in ratings.


https://www.soompi.com/2017/05/14/father-strange-breaks-impressive-30-percent-mark-viewership-ratings/

angelanto8:
aww at least they eased the pain with commercials and cfs featuring both ksh and ysj.still.....

Ah no o. The drama left a very big WTF shaped hole in my heart and I'm still scarred by it. Nothing can ease that pain....except they star in another drama together and are the OTP there.

Macelliot:

But Asian wiki states different. e.g
http://asianwiki.com/Ruler:_Master_of_the_Mask

Lmao! Now I see what you mean.
There are tons of other programs airing at the same time on other networks. Not everybody watches dramas, you know?

Among the big 3 dramas airing at that particular time, Ruler is the number one. You compare ratings for dramas with ratings for other competing dramas. Not drama ratings with like ratings for a variety show or a news/sports broadcast airing the same time with the drama. You get?


Just because a drama doesn't get number one or two spot overall doesn't mean it is not doing well.

angelanto8:

Babe, I've never felt so betrayed by a drama before. Anytime I think about it I get so angry ehn. Then I have to remind myself it was just a drama.

Macelliot:

It's hard seeing historical drama taking the first/second/third place in ratings. They usually ends up in 10th, 12th, 6th, 8th, 13th e.t.c positions.

You sure about that? What of the likes of Empress Ki, Six Flying dragons, the princess's man, sungkyunkwan scandal, Jumong, Jeong Do Jeon, moonlight drawn by clouds, Moon that embraces the sun (since it aired in 2012, no weekday drama has been able to beat its ratings. Over 40%) and the likes.

Even Rebel that is currently airing is second place in its timeslot. And Ruler is 1st.

Macelliot:
because of kim so hyun, I gave "Who are you: School 2015" a try the day before yesterday and finished it yesterday. because of fans complaint about the ending, I refused to watch it 2 years ago. finally, I did at last.
I was heart-broken. Why Yi_an(Nam joo-hyuk)? Why not Tae-kwang(yook sung-jae) ?
I did research to be sure if I downloaded the wrong final episode, then I realized that the fans who were angered were right.
The second lead syndrome was too strong. There was bewilderment among TaeBi couple fans across the Internet.

Oboy, yesterday night, I entered YouTube, started searching for comfort related videos to repel the heart-break. I watched uncountable videos and read uncountable number of comments. Though, I finally came across the KBS 2015 best couple award and was relieved. first lead female and second lead male received the best couple award. Even though, they didn't end up together. I have never seen such in K drama entertainment award. Perhaps, Fans compelled them to do so.

TaeBi couple were adorable. (Yook Sung-jae & Kim So-hyun)

Guy, I feel you on a spiritual level. Ditto to everything you said.


I can never forgive the writer of that drama oo. Two guys, two girls, perfect situation. But no......the writer had to ruin it.

Macelliot:
Master of mask had a such a high rating at episode 4. Historical dramas are highly under-rated in Korea.
Hmm, but this one seems different.

Lol. As far as I can tell, except the historical is outright boring, goes haywire in the middle of the drama or laced with bad acting, historical dramas get around moderate to high ratings.
Koreans love their sageuk.

vikkytan49:


I don't like how the casts are promising ratings ysh promised 20% L promised 25%, like they should just leave that side jareh..

Please which ratings are they looking at? Is it ratings for EPs A or EPs B? Cos I'm not understanding oo.

vikkytan49:


I think she'll have something to do with ha gaun's father death..
A villain of her own.
I'm not buying the theory that L's character will turn bad but with pyunsoohwe master, he may, we really cannot tell.

True. This one that he is investigating the water supply thing, pyunsoohwe will definitely be on his case.

I don't trust that creepy girl, she can goan find an imitation mask and kill Ga Sun's father, making GE think it's the prince. Thereby destroying the trust between GE n CP.
Cos she's wicked like that.

I dunno about L's character arch for now, except that he likes GE and he's noticing CP likes her too. Even though he's not as erratic as pyunsoohwe's marker granddaughter, he might still do something to come between them.

SlimAdenike:


Well it will be super weird if we see the crown prince using subway to woo his leading lady

Lmao!


Fine, I agree it's almost impossible to insert PPL in sageuk, but why did they suddenly want to be airing commercials during episodes? They've been doing dramas all these years without it, so why now?

And sbs too, are they doing sageuk?


Cable networks do it, but they don't cut the EPs into two, they air the commercials right there during the drama. So when ifans are downloading, they just edit out the commercial parts and we get a complete episode.
Unlike what MBC and SBS are doing. Its annoying when they say they are airing two EPs per day and in reality it is just one EPs divided into two.

vikkytan49:


She left the mark so that she'll be able to recognize the prince in the future..
So unbelievable when she mark her own neck.

Nah, when he covered her mouth to keep her from shouting, she pricked his neck to hurt him so he would release her. She didn't know who he was then.

It was when she was going and she saw the mark on him in his Prince's robe that she realized the guy she pricked was indeed the cp.

When she now marked herself later that night.....that was the creepy part.

SlimAdenike:


I swear I laugh so hard when I saw him run past her to meet Han Ga Eun. She was acting so creepy,marking him and calling him my crown prince like he belong to her when he doesn't even know she exist... To think that she doesn't wanna be a crown princess few days ago coz she thought he was a leper but stalking him like a creep after seeing his handsome face.

She's creepy, that's for sure. If she was Nigerian, I will say she did blood covenant with the CP cos of those bloody couple neck marks.

SlimAdenike:



From my own perspective she will turn against her grandfather at first then become evil when she figure out that she can never get the crown prince's love and affection then she will turn to Han Ga Eun and use her to hurt the prince since she knows who the crown prince's crush is.

Mehn, no chills. you just don't like the girl at all!


I think this is good actually, since they made her so unlikeable, no chance of second lead syndrome.

BTW, how annoying is it that MBC and SBS have decided to divide their midweek dramas into two parts so they can air commercials in between. Just be confusing us.

What happened to subway, Samsung and papa Johns pizza PPL in the dramas?

kangminhyuksho:


how I wish kdramas did crossover episodes

Oh! I can think of all the possibilities!

nellyalph:


I think she is doing well cos I have already started hatinh her in these two episodes. According to her grandpa, she will do worse than him.

According to her character description, she will turn against her grandpa to help the crown prince. Let's wait and see.

nellyalph:


Lol.... Yeah I saw that. But they should give us 'stronger plot'. I didn't really 'feel' the first two episodes

Hehehehe. I have my trust in the writer of I Remember You, so no shaking. She will give us a good plot and tight writing to boot.

SlimAdenike:


I never like the actress Yoon so hee neither do I like the bratty bitchy character she is playing,she is the one getting all giddy over him even though he doesn't give a hook about her nor remember her.

But why so wicked na?

That scene she was smiling at him in the market and he ran past her like she doesn't exist. I was embarrassed on her behalf.

vikkytan49:


She was very very rude, i hope she won't go crazy more than she already is because of the Prince..
The king might die early in the drama, the pyunsoohwe may kill him, some of their promotional photos shows L wearing the king's robe which means the cp become king but always sneak out of the palace And have L be in his place. Hummm i smell something..
The death of ga eun's Father would really change everything.

I don't like her character one bit. And what's with the mark she left on CP's neck and her own. So creepy.



And the King will die. Very certain.

Plot twist. Chairman Kang in Whisper was so pissed off he couldn't be one of the lawyers in Taebek, so he had Chairman Choi kill him in order to become a District Attorney in Suspicious partner.

Specially dedicated to Sarang60, don't stop trying.

kangminhyuksho:


I don't know what's going on with t-ara n I really don't care again, I just need eunjung to get dramas n I'm fine

I care, I care.....about Jiyeon.

MBK sha.

kangminhyuksho:


too bad for her, I do like her tho even though she actually looks like she'll be an annoying brat in real life #jussayin, has the drama finished filming or is there still a chance for her to adjust her acting

They must have filmed nothing less than 60% of the drama already.
Her character undergoes a personality change along the line, so hoping her acting undergoes a change as well.

vikkytan49:
Chai yoon sun hee is in trouble, see as viewers dey criticize her

Her acting in Ruler is slightly off, especially her facial expressions. Plus her character is a brat and annoying.

Kangminhyuksho, bosslady1991, wehdone mas. Be doing cat and rat upandan in the thread.
