Comments

Park Min Apr 26 2023 7:28 pm Immersion-breaking scuffed production, tone deaf story, mediocre performance and all around plain boring.

sgt_doom May 29 2021 11:52 pm No way, no how does this compare to Mr. Sunshine!!!!!

Always liked Ji-tae but just thought this series is sooooo flat and the main actress is sleep-inducing ---- boooring!!

Nanna Oct 31 2019 9:46 am The last scene in episode 40 ,what is the place name? ??please I really wanna visit there ,I love this drama ?

GC Oct 17 2019 7:04 am Been looking for Lim Ju Hwan new movie and drama. Spotted him here. Watch this drama because of Lim Ju Hwan....Fighting!!!

Thom Aug 04 2019 3:00 pm This is one of the best Kdramas I've watched. I love the time setting. The actors have great chemistry. I'm sad that all my favorites are getting killed. How sad. I'm glad Lee Yo-Won is the lead actress and that the 1st choice didn't take it. Lee Yo-Won fits the character better.

IM Jul 25 2019 9:39 pm Just daebaaaaak!

Damncool for historian drama. The chemistry between Yoo Ji Tae & Le Young Ae was no joke! A must watch for Korea history enthusiast.

I like Kim Nam Ok character. His character made the story more interesting. If you search on search engine, you will find that several characters represented Korean independence activist: Kim Wong Bong, Kim Gu, Kim Esther, Kim Nam Ok, etc.

Aizawa Jun 05 2019 10:03 am I love this already even after watching it until several episodes. I don't care if someone gonna die or what since this story is about war so if you are looking for happy ending, don't watch this. And, I really like the interactions between Lee Yo Won & Yoo Ji Tae (their expressions though ♥) And idk why but, Baek Seung Hwan really looks like Tom Holland here... XD I think I will love this drama even more...

SoManyFavorites May 28 2019 7:07 pm It's a 49 Days Reunion! How exciting. I love dramas set in the time period when Japan controlled Korea. They are usually very exciting. No exception here. Even my son is hooked on this one, so I don't have to watch it alone. I'm on episode nine so far and it's very addictive.

AnnleeR May 25 2019 2:33 am wow Lee Yo Won and Nam Gyu Ri?wow! i'm a fans of them both since 49 days

Usualpeeps May 23 2019 12:26 pm If you are asking yourself if u should watch this drama, my answer is absolutely YES! The first episode is a lil bit boring but its getting better every episode. Lee Yo Won acting is great in this drama.

rumahdrakor.web.id May 21 2019 9:43 am great drama, i'm excited for this drama.. and now released :D

mel May 20 2019 4:45 am should im watch this drama ? not a fan of lee yo won she was so bad in night light the same expressions. i think she play the same type of character So if someone watch this shown can i have a review

Lee Seohwa May 07 2019 4:43 am I can feel the sense of Inspiring Generation season 2!!

ranny francisco May 05 2019 7:15 pm The drama on its initial showing looks like it is going to be really good one. The actors show a lot of character without them trying so hard nor them being hysterical. Eye or lip movements do convey so many emotions as in the case of Lee Yo Won and Yoo Ji Tae. I just hope they will be able to thicken the plot because names have been revealed too early. Thank you.

ranny francisco May 05 2019 7:05 pm Because they posted their comments before the drama has been aired.

Shel May 05 2019 3:56 pm Woooowwww lee yowon and nam gyuri together againnn cant believe it!!! ?

Shay Apr 25 2019 10:36 pm Damn this drama is gonna be so........... good (It’s like the next mr sunshine) its gonna be really great I just know that.

Ai Mar 30 2019 9:08 am Believe in Yoo Ji Tae, my fav actor.

Clarkdale44 Mar 26 2019 6:56 am Can't believe it...! Am i dreaming or what??

Lee Yo Won and Nam Gyu Ri together again after so long... 49 days.

Like that wasn't enough we have Yoo Ji-Tae too.. It sure looks too good to be true.

Can't miss this one even if i want to...

Windy Mar 04 2019 3:24 pm The reunion of Nam GyuRi and Lee YoWon after 49days yyyeaasshhhh!!! I already watch the Trailer and looks promising! *O* Mr sunshine x Bridal Mask feelssss...!!!

Christy Jan 18 2019 12:58 am Aww it’s Lim Ju Hwan!! Can’t wait! Everytime I hear about his upcoming shows, I get excited and can’t help but to be excited :) Im Ju Hwan, Fighting!

Katie Jan 02 2019 5:20 pm O..M..G the greatest cast! Lee yo won & Nam gyu ri from 49day. So looking forward to watching this. I luv luv the casts, All of em & D plot too

Rae won Dec 27 2018 8:59 pm Nam Gyu Ri and Lee Yo Won finally reunited after 49 days. Hopefully this drama is a happy ending.

yandere Nov 02 2018 1:38 pm Nearly Had Heart Attack....................... This is the bestest casting ever..................... OMG............. Lee yo won and Yoo ji tae...... omggggggggggggg

kdramafans Oct 09 2018 4:29 am Hopefully LYW can show her acting skills like her previous drama 49 days! so that no one can say she's a foot acting actress anymore! Get a Daesang this time!!

Agatha Oct 07 2018 6:12 am I will watch this. Definetely.

neea Sep 28 2018 6:37 am oooooo, one of my fav actress, really like her. Can't wait

Pen Sep 28 2018 5:25 am MBC!!!! MBC is back airing period dramas ❤❤❤❤

qwq Sep 23 2018 12:48 pm Kim Won-bong? A character that played by Cho Seung-woo in 2015's Assassination?

Grace Sep 07 2018 8:12 am Tbh, I am kinda upsaet Lee Yong Ae can not do this drama. But, omg! Its Lee Yoo Won! So, I am happy again. Both are great actress and I always feel that their are sister since They really look a like

Lessi Aug 14 2018 7:36 pm Well it shucks that lee young ae is not cast anymore.

Sera Jul 29 2018 10:17 pm Well I heard that Yoo Ji Tae was offered a role. I don't know why but this PD seems to be very nostalgic towards Lee Young Ae past works. Could we get a noona-romance, if there is romance? I can see it happening after her chemistry with Yang Se Jong in Saimdang's Dairy.

Zen Apr 16 2018 8:23 pm May the drama be very popular and get a lot of praise after broadcasting in the future.

I hope the storyline will be entertaining, touching and great. The casting will be wonderful.

The costarring male actors in the drama I wish are...

Won Bin, Jo In Sung, Jang Hyuk, Daniel Henney, Dennis Oh, Ha SukShin, Kim SukHoon, Han JaeSuk, Kam WooSung, Lee BiMo, Kim NamGil...

Maya Mar 21 2018 9:18 pm Ooohhh, the plot sounds so interesting!! Can I either have So JiSub or Cha SeungWon as the male lead?

Sera Mar 17 2018 1:23 am If there's romance, hopefully the male lead is Lee Sung Jae. This ahjusshi is hot and needs a male lead comeback. Or maybe, Han Suk Kyu?

NGS Feb 25 2018 7:54 am I am with You @Amy. I think Cha Seung woon will be a hood match for her.... They wil lbe a perfect comboii

Coolgirl Feb 19 2018 8:45 am Wonbin or jo in sung

REVA Feb 11 2018 4:48 am If we get to suggest the male lead, I vote for Joo Jin Mo.

Dannie Dec 05 2017 7:29 am Cast Won Bin as the male lead please though i'm not that sure he's even reviewing any drama offers?

Shin jayve visia Oct 13 2017 10:34 pm i'm so excited for your new drama

Amy Oct 07 2017 7:15 am Cha seung won for the male lead. I wanna see him. I think he's the right choice for this genre

Rhyss ikram, dr Oct 06 2017 5:46 am Wow....great news....lee young ae...will be waiting for you in this drama. Daebak

EBN Oct 04 2017 10:32 am So excited °•.•° (^_^) :) LYA , plz make me amazed like your another project .. I'm hope that a strong chemistry get formed ..

hari_kang99 Oct 03 2017 4:30 pm hyun bin or So Ji Sub for the male lead?

Kit Oct 03 2017 12:59 am DAEBAK.....Lee Young Ae never fails to amaze me..am sure this will also be a good project just like Saimdang..Hope for a good male lead.Hwaiting
