On a different note : That first picture of Byun yo Han tho had me like ?????.. Didn't even recognise him at first.. Did a double take... New crush?..

So Byun Yo-han is sizzling like it's nobody's business and I'm here sitting in front of my laptop alone giggling like a maniac. Oh the things you do for hot actors.

Anyways... I'm honestly looking forward to this drama as it has many components of which I love, but the number 50 is hurting me a bit. I wish it was more bite sized like Tree (which I adore) but I might as well give it a shot.

Omg so excited! I love 'Tree' and I shall take this as its prequel.
With casts like this, I will stick to it no matter how long the series is. I hope the story won't disappoint *cross fingers

ooof so THAT'S what Byun Yo-han was hiding behind his dorky middle part hairdo in Misaeng!

and UNF again @hyung from Pinocchio. I love that two of 2014's favourite dark horses have come together here.

and Yoo Ah-in on horseback..... consider me slain.

I hope story-wise it'll be closer to QSD than TWDR, which I couldn't manage to get through. QSD had a natural storytelling power & great, colorful characters. I thought TWDR was a whole different style of sageuk -- pretentious, talky, moody -- & I was bored by it, in spite of all the acclaim it got. Are we going there again?

Byun Yo Han is unrecognizable in a good way, he is so handsome asdfghjkl
And Yoon Kyun Sang looking good! Him in TTILY is kinda bleh maybe bcs of the hair lol.
Anyway does Jung Yoo Min confirm to join this?

The cast seems good i love all of them (even Shin Sekyung) but why 50 eps ._.
Please be good, show! Already plan to watch this >.<

Yoon Kyun-sang has a heavy burden on his shoulders! Moo-hyul was my favorite character in Tree so I hope he makes me love the younger version just as much!!!

Byun Yo-han is really doing it for me here. Like, dammmmn son.

I'm excited and cautious at the same time about this show. Excited because of Yoo Ah In and Byun Yo-Han. Cautious because this is going to be a fictionalized segeuk. Since it will be fictionalized, the characters will behave as if they were not historical figures. That's what I hated about Tree with Deep Roots. ... Though I've read this is a normal thing in segeuks

Hyunnngggggg!! Now I'm looking forward to this.

oh my gosh! I soooooooooooooooooo want this to come NOW

OMG Byun Yo-han Oppa !!!!!!!! Yoon Kyun Sang looks good too !! Challenging myself again with this historical drama ... 50 ep... let this be good !!!

Beautiful stills. I'm wondering if I should get hopeful?

Wow, that last pic of Byun Yo-Han is reminiscent of Lesley Chang, the HK actor/singer... Hot!

There is not a single young actor/actress in this that I don't already just love. I can't wait.

Geez how can BYH look so manly here and look so totally not masculine in the 2 modem dramas?

And I didn't even know he can look like a man. Or manly.

Everyone looks so effing good with that hairstyle!!!!
And Jesus Christ Byun Yohan I didn't know he could pull this style that well. He looks hot I'm so damned.

Sekyung's character is meh but I guess I can live with it since there's going to be a lot of political dramas to root for.

Still waiting for the mighty Kim Myungmin. Please don't disappoint us, show. Don't pull a Secret Door on us.

P.S. This is absurd but I was hoping Song Jongho would be cast, as anyone is fine. I really think he's a great actor and deserves to earn more recognition, especially through big dramas like this.

What's wif that girl's big wig? I thought early Joseon hairstyle looked similar with that of Chinese? No?
