No nothing that would beat "Sandglass."
"Sword in the Moon" film was just ok like most of his sageuk dramas but they were worth watching because he was always good.

lol I actually really liked Blade and Petal, but I get why a lot of people don't. But mostly, I just think he exudes this kind of old world masculinity that translates very well into sageuk. (yes, I just wrote that sentence xp)

I agree with Kiara, his best role is in Sandglass. Probably his best performance, too, at the end of the day, though that's more debatable (he's that awesome haha).

It took me 3 episodes to get into Blade and Petal. I wasn't used to the visual storytelling on tv.
That's the one show that I wish it had " Moon Lovers's" budget. It would've been a real treat if they got to finish what they started.

Yeah, imagine if Blade and Petal had been preproduced...it's amazing what Kim Yong-soo was able to accomplish under the circumstances. (ugh Moon Lovers. Watching that thing scarred me for life.)

I wish Kim Yong-soo would do another sageuk! Or team up with Park Yeon-seon again, or something. I don't think I've seen anything he's done since Iron Man a couple years ago. I ended up being strangely fond of that drama, but he deserves so much better.

These sageuks are enough if you want to fangirl him only lol ???

That's ok you can always repent haha..
Well, the history was interesting but Kwon was his usual self. Everything went downhill right around the halfway mark.
I'd say I enjoyed it regardless. I got to watch Yeo Jin-goo transitioned well from boy to man.

I don't think I even got to Yeo Jin-gu ;_; Just the combined awesomeness of Jeon Kwang-ryul and Choi Min-soo. It's so exciting he's getting adult roles now, though!

Have you been watching any sageuk lately? I'm working my way through Queen Insoo again, and I'm back up to Suyang's coup. It's just so good. And I'm still working on Age of Warriors hahaha. When I reach episode 100 I'm going to have a party.

I just finished 200 eps of "Emperor Wang Gun." Very old school with interesting historical commentaries.
I personally felt like I was spoon fed throughout the whole show which I didn't mind because it was way too long.
Kim Young-cheol was his usual amazing self and Kim Gap-soo. I enjoyed Kim Hye-ri's character but I loved her in Shin Don more.

Let me know when you are done with "Age of Warriors." I'll celebrate with you :).

I want to watch "Rustic Period" but I can't find it online with subs :(.

Haha right now I'm just waiting for Gyun to die (I'm a Lee Ui-bang loyalist lol). idk, I just can't stand that character and I find Lee Min-woo's performance annoying. Emperor Wang Geon is quite the achievement! I'd actually never heard of The Rustic Period, but I looked it up and now I want to see it too lol. Ahn Jae-mo and Kim Young-cheol doing the same character is almost too much awesomeness to handle.

Speaking of Kim Kap-soo, I ended up marathoning the rest of Whisper...he's so amazing in that! I thought the whole cast did a good job (except Kwon Yul lol), but Kim Kap-soo and Park Se-young were on another planet. Best drama of the year so far imo.

Suh In Suk is so good in sageuks. I can't see anyone else as Lee Ui Bang.
Do you remember his Choi Young from Jeong Do Jeon?
He lost a lot of weight, I hardly recognized him but his voice was ever so familiar. He was in Emperor Wang too.

I need a Ahn Jae-mo weekend marathon. I need more of him in my life lol. I think I just might marathon "Great First Wives" from beginning to end which is kind of scary cause I don't know anything about it lol.

There are 10 people begging DF for "Rustic Period." I'm going to be the 11th. I have little hope that they'd sub it because it's pretty old.
I think it's about Song Il-gook's grandfather during and after the occupation period.

I read somewhere that "Whisper" was originally written as a medical drama with a different name but I guess SBS didn't like it so they went with the legal trend. I think Park was only given 3 months before it airs.
I hope jTBC would steal him and treat him better.
(I know I'm terrible).

Yeah, I eventually recognized him in Jung Do-jeon by his voice, too! I cried like a baby when he and Lee Seong-gye said their last goodbyes.

Have you seen Freedom Fighter Lee Hoe-young? It's supposed to be really good and Ahn Jae-mo is one of the main characters. I need to watch it! I was only able to finish The Merchant because he showed up towards the end (in a totally stupid portrayal of Min Young-ik, but whatever. He and Kim Min-jung were the only people worth watching). I don't get how that show got as bad as it did lol--the writer has a tendency to go nuts, but how a cast that amazing ended up being so bad across the board is beyond me.

Yeah, I thought Whisper was going to be a medical drama at first, and was really surprised it ended up being about lawyers instead. It did kind of feel like Punch's little sibling (which makes sense if he had so little time to prepare), but I had a blast watching it, and I think it stands on its own pretty well. Definitely much better than Empire of Gold.

You'd think they'd treat him better, considering that in addition to being a great writer, he consistently brings in great ratings >:( Seems to me the big three rarely know what they've got until it's gone.

Who knows, maybe there'll be another miracle like Queen Insoo, and they'll do subs for The Rustic Period :D

It's legal drama about prosecutors, this drama showed us a darker side in this profession. As for the crime cases, a bit dragging here and there. It is not a flawless drama, but it's inferesting.
