I'm two episodes away from finishing #kdrama #IlJiMae Got to say, up until episode 13, this felt like homework, and I don't mean because of the historical content. I need things a little tighter.

Also, admittedly, my enjoyment was tempered by the knowledge that the second lead was credibly accused of sexual assault.

Glad that I dropped this one. I can tolerate some sloppiness in the historicals when the follow an interesting true story, but not when they start to feel terribly silly.

@EllenInEdmonton How far did you get? There are some thought-provoking aspects, but as with any disguises, you're always like, really, you can't tell? And the story is also so close to Hong Gildong, it's head scratching that it never comes up.

@dnkboston @EllenInEdmonton I watched all of it awhile back as a filler. For me, the best episodes are the first and last.

@Fanua Well, we're almost at the last--finally. Why was this so popular?

No idea. Very few competing shows?
