Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016 K-Drama TV Series)

Lee Jun Ki is definitely the reason I watched the series. You were mad at the ending? So was I!! GRRR …!!! But you know what? In real life, endings can be very disappointing and happy endings almost seem like they are just the stuff of fairy tales. As for always killing each other? Not much difference with the fight over the crown in England. I have to say England because I haven't seen many other dramas about the monarchy in other countries. But one time (sorry I can't remember the movie) there was a scene in a movie and the noble men wanted a certain person on the throne. They literally had a board with all the names of the family members and started crossing them out with “X” marks. They were saying “Well! If we want this person to take the throne, then we have to kill this one, this one, this one and ...” I'm like: 'Unholy crap! These are human beings y'all are talking about not toys for you to get rid of because you don't want to play with them!' So I don't see the fight over the Korean monarchy as being any different from any other country. It's one of the reasons I don't like monarchies though. I'm for elected officials. Vote him in. If they don't serve the people, kick 'em out! And I ABHOR elected officials who get into public office and REFUSE TO LEAVE!! I mean they need to face reality. People don't mind good leaders. Who has ever asked for a good leader to LEAVE AND GO HOME or JUST GO?

@cmoneyspinner I know, history rarely ends well, i guess this drama just wanted to stick a bit to the history. Which is why i demand a second season to at least give them another chance to live and be happy, in the future where there is no more monarchy stuff. i guess no matter what the government structure is, monarchy, democracy, etc.. there are still tons of evil people who would silence or hurt anyone who got in their way

@lady1993 - I really wouldn't mind a second season. It would be interesting to see the creativity of the writers and how they would rewrite some more of history for “artistic purposes”. Some of the characters that I really liked though got killed off. It's sad there's no way to bring them back. Part of me would love a second season. The other part of me wonders how they could possibly pull it off.

The clothes I like but I myself know I could never wear them and feel comfortable. The hairpins the women wear are soooo beautiful. They could be treasures.
