She also tries to find the person who painted her face as the main female character in a series of erotic chunhwa paintings.

Comments

Key Dec 02 2025 5:26 am Watching this because of Chani...

Alice May 23 2025 3:13 am I hate the Crown Prince. He is a scoundrel who left his wife to satisfy his lust and cried a lot when his so called bed partner left him but when his wife tried to commit suicide And when she finally divorced him, he didn't even feel sad. Forget about crying... His wife was with him from a very young age, he doesn't even regret cheating on her, he's such a scoundrel

N Apr 12 2025 2:39 am Go Ara's expression & acting getting better in this drama. Keep up your good work Ara. Hope to see you in another drama. Fighting ?

Jillibean Apr 01 2025 5:14 pm I only watched the first episode because I love Joon Sung and wanted to see his cameo. But it was too filthy for me. We don't need to see nudity in Korean dramas. That's gross. No wonder why no big streaming company wanted to take this one on.

Dididi Mar 28 2025 7:49 pm is this drama an adaptation of "Bridgerton"

NGS Mar 07 2025 11:26 am Tbh, the future is so cute. Hahaha. If they make a sequel about it, it could be cute. Remind me to chinese drama that often make it like that. The past and the future concept

KK Mar 03 2025 1:42 pm The drama is good and shows you the fictional hangeul novels that used to be read secretly hundreds of years ago, korean society were Very into the nudity but only recently they started to make drama's for different ages!

anyways it's written well, the cast did great and oh my God how I missed Go Ara<3

it's a fun mini drama that gives me a break from the other intense drama’s that I'm watching now.

Cristalena Mar 02 2025 11:40 pm Ahhh, I hate the crown prince so much. I started fast forwarding his love scenes. It was love, then politics got in the way, and they couldn't just talk like adults? They are both frustrating, but he is a million times worse.

The rest of the stories are ok. I still feel like the ML is hiding something, but there are only 2 episodes left, so I'm not sure how it will all fit.

Mi mi mi Mar 01 2025 2:17 pm I am very confused to the crown prince and princess storyline Was it love or is it still love ! At first I thought she was gay and wasn't attracted to him but now I don't know what to think at all

Gr10 Mar 01 2025 2:03 pm Shit, I hate crown prince. Poor crown princess

meta Feb 28 2025 11:11 am I guess the main lead is the crown princess. I feel her pain and sorrow.

rebelheart Feb 20 2025 2:17 pm Chang Ryul finally is a male lead in a drama! He's such a good actor. I wish he would be given more roles as the male lead. Trying to finish this even if the story doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Watching this because of Chang Ryul.

fella Feb 20 2025 7:08 am try to get past ep 1-2 and the story about having chastity as a woman's worth actually intrigued me to keep on watching

Janette Feb 15 2025 11:16 pm You need to follow through with the 1st episode. It is actually quite funny and refreshing. I thought at the beginning, omg, Go-Ara in this type of drama??? But really, it is funny. I don't know this actor, Chang Ryul, but i like him. The Director said he wanted someone who looks confident and with boyish charm, he kicked the right actor for it. I like the way he speaks as well. Actually he seems like an ideal man. Appears shallow but he is deeper than anybody thought and he is a man of his words. Surprisingly, loyal. The chemistry with Go-Ara is also to look forward to.

NG Feb 15 2025 2:59 pm The director even said it really a 18+ drama and they did put the 18+ symbol there, reporter asking the director if he want to change it to more like every age could enjoy but he said no. So yeah, what to expect from the drama? The story is quite good for me tho, its quite interesting. And this is from what I know is a cable tv, so practically they could do more whatever they want.

And I also agree with Shen below, the story and the synopsis tell it tho, it was about that so the nudity and sex scene putted there ..

Yoriko Feb 14 2025 2:02 pm Hmmm tried watching it at first coz the script writer is famous and actress is go ara But the explicit scenes are meh kdramas these days can’t film without those intense explicit scenes ? And the plot itself is dissapointing It’s been soo long i haven’t seen a decent traditional drama since red sleeve and umbrella I’m sorry but the plot’s not catching So dropping it

Shen Feb 12 2025 7:37 pm Yall who think nudity and erotic scenes aren't a part of korean entertainment have definitely not seen older dramas and movies. It's only in recent work have they become so censored, which I love along with everyone else but to say they're changing things up is crazy, more like they're going back to their roots lol. However, I don't see this style becoming popular. I think the Korean society has definitely shifted to being more censored in television dramas so I'd say only a few dramas here and there will contain nudity and if that's not for you then no worries, because there are so many other dramas. They honestly couldn't tell this story without nudity (have you guys read the title and the plot?) I like it so far honestly, the nudity and sex scenes aren't over done. Either adds to the plot or provides humor

Yuri Feb 11 2025 5:41 pm It was shocking to me at first seeing the nudity. But the story stirs up curiosity. So I'm watching it. I like Ara and Chang Ryul chemistry

Ryunami Feb 11 2025 8:13 am Chaotic plot from the beginning. The nudity and sex scenes between lovers are very much distracting. What a waste of good actors. Dropping another work by Go Ara.

Kris Feb 10 2025 3:01 am This drama is good. Ara had positive and emotional attitude after her breakup with her 1st love. I think the 1st lead had secret and agenda but he likes Ara because only few lady's refuse his charisma. I think the 2nd lead knows her more but he his more traditional than the 1st lead. More episodes to wait. Ara had kissing scene but some are drawings at the last.

Sara Feb 08 2025 3:34 pm Contains nudity. Not suitable for minors. I was shocked seeing the scene. The story is the same cliche romance. Dropped.

meta Feb 08 2025 5:39 am this is 18+ kdrama, contain nudity

NGS Feb 06 2025 10:18 pm I think the one who write novel or story is the lead male. Kinda curious if He really love her or He has something to do with the relationship (maybe to help him with the bussiness?) considering the synopsis. Haha

And I dont think the last scene is really going to the extend like the novel said haha. I feel like the drama want us the see the "real life" of Chunhwa life and the "novel life" of Chunhwa. He still has another story with another 2 man tho

Kanske Feb 06 2025 9:08 pm I love this drama. Go Ara's kiss scene was goood :)

Seei Feb 06 2025 3:40 pm Just finished watching the first 2 episodes. It's the usual cringe Sageuk historical flops... pass...

Hannah Dec 25 2024 12:23 pm I really want this drama. It's looks like the magician the movie with Go Ara. When you go out from the palace it's difficult for a princess to look for a good person. They can have fighting seen and romance that's why only adults can see. I'm excited for this drama because go Ara is good in comedy and action seen that's why she injured her feet in hachi and different drama.

ngs Dec 23 2024 7:46 pm Finally Go Ara comeback to drama land after 4 years!!!!

Tome Oct 07 2024 5:24 pm Finally Go Ara. Can't wait ?

gaeul Aug 31 2024 10:27 am Han Seung Yeon fighting <3

Nara84 Jul 26 2024 7:49 am When will it be released? It's almost end of July, still no update of the release date.. ?

Kyoposan May 20 2024 9:10 pm Lucky break for the producers that Go Ara was available to step into the lead. I think her large fanbase will make this a success. Can't wait to watch this!!

? Jasmine ? Jan 28 2024 9:12 am This is going to be one of the best of 2024.finally Go ra will lead again ? ?

Jenn Sep 16 2023 6:22 am This drama is one of the best drama for 2024. Go Ara will lead again like the magician, hachi and wharang. Maybe this drama had some action and drama episode.

Enichan Jun 02 2023 3:21 am Finally, sageuk ☺☺☺
