for the orginal's sake i hope this does well!! and maybe just for everyone's sake i hope this is good! i quite enjoyed the original so i'm looking forward to this version as well!

Lol what's so ethereal about LJK in that first pic, I don't think it looks nice at all? And Aug 29? Sigh we still have three months to endure...The long wait is the one of the negative points about post-production dramas. And I wish the production team can release like 2 teaser photos per week, would that be considered too much?

This drama is getting too much hyped , it reminds me of heirs , i hope it won't end up like that :/

Lee Jun Ki can go no wrong in sageuk, but damn that hairstyle! Even Lee Min Ho has better hairstyle in Faith. Why they have to cover one eye? Why?

IU is beautiful.. no other words needed. I just hope she can do the character justice since it would be her first sageuk.

Lee Jun Ki hairstyle reminds me of cow poop

The Pirate of Goryeo

When I see these photos, the only thought in my head is 'So pretty!', so I guess I have no other expectations for this other than it being a cute and nice-to-look-at drama.

From the visual aspect, IU is just all wrong for this drama. And they don't look compatible. Sigh! How I wish it's Kim Ji Won in the lead role instead.

This isn't going to be anything like Scarlet Heart, is it? I was fully expecting changes but the last thing is to mess up the characters.

I couldn't have imagined how the 4th Prince would turn out like this. I am getting the vibes that this drama will be focusing more on Lee Jun Ki's beauty than on his character. Oh well, at least he will brood pretty.

tbh the clothes make me question the costume now,
I still think it wasn't good enough even with a high-resolution pic,
just be more colorful, 4th prince like a sunny day so he kinda more into colorful clothes.
I just hope the clothes could be better cause I'll not judge the story before watching it,

this makes me want to re-watch bu bu jin xin

I like the stills, hope to see a teaser soon to feel the drama's atmosphere. It's always the best to judge a drama.

IKR? Even not enough linguistic in the world to describe how ethereally beautiful he is. He looks good in everything without even trying.

I dunno. I'm wary of these harem stories drama adaptation nowadays. Well, I'm adverse to harem stories in general. It reminds me of my teenage years of reading shoujo manga fluff and maybe I've outgrown that. Plus. IU as the heroine doesn't strike my fancy. I don't think she's outstanding in anything she was in. Didn't mean to be a Debbie Downer though. The production idea behind this is actually really interesting. Th collaboration between China and Korea entertainment-wise has really amped up rapidly over the course of the past four years.

They both look gorgeous, just a little mismatched. Prolly because IU looks like a child in comparison to Jun Ki. Not saying the age gap is bad, that's how it was in the original drama anyways. Since the time period lasted for several years to decades. I love IU too much to not support her on this one. I just hope that this will be a success, that she will be able to deliver as Jun Ki is absolutely good when it comes to Sageuk, no doubt. I'm not sure how she's going to fair in this drama with the experience she's had so far. I haven't seen too many Korean remake that really succeeded. The wait is making me anxious and all.

Well today is a good day as any to delurk
. Lee Junki has his ageless good looks to compensate any bad wigs, or hairstyles though the one he's sporting right now is waaaay better than his evil twin in the long black wig in the Scholar who walks the night. In fact I think I just fell drunk in love with him again in that picture.
Basically to sum up my position in the for and against camp for the picture above: Lee Junki can wear any hairstyle and I'd still find him beautiful. Period.

Hee hee.

Lee junki looks like a woman with that hair, ofc he's beautiful, b e a u t i f u l
Sly fox iu fighting ~

LJK nooooo. That hairstyle looks like it takes inspiration from those stupid hats worn by the royal family.

OMG his hair. I don't even know it is beautuiful or just weird.

Mix of Faith and Outlander? Faith is Korean Outlander. If Faith creators didn´t base it on Outlander books, someone must have read it to them during hypnosis :).
