How did their necks survive the weight? That' what I would like to know.

Yea or the asian head pieces sometimes dramas have. It's crazy how their head can upload that stuff.

OMG!!!! I can't stop laughing! I saw your comment and asked myself where are the braids then looked back in the photo and it got me so shocked! I didn't see it at first! HAHAHAHA! That's one of a hella braids. LMAO

LOL same.

But I am also confused on how they are going to adapt it. It's interesting to see who will be the writer /PD, and who are going to be casted. It's hard to match up the level of original casts like Jeon Do-yeon and Lee Mi-sook, so hopefully they will cast solid actors. 16 epi sounds good for this kind plot.

If this drama airs on MBC I don’t think the viewers can even expect a PG-13 version but more like a PG drama which I think will take away some of the more interesting parts/charm of the story. Not that I need a super explicit show or anything but sex, seduction, chastity, manipulation, jealousy, and love were huge themes in Untold Scandal and Cruel Intentions and I don’t know if a PG version with stolen kisses and heavy petting will match the the intensity and the stakes in the movies 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m still excited though because I loved Cruel Intentions and also enjoyed Untold Scandal and only time will tell if this drama is good

"Queen In-soo" (2011) was R-19 on JTBC and the netizens still complained about a bed scene between Eunjung (young In-soo) and Baek Sung-hyun (Crown Prince Uigyeong).

The more mature sageuks I've seen so far in a cable channel was "Eight Days" (2007) Channel CGV. One of my favorites on King Jeongjo.
The other one was "Yaksha" (2010) OCN. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone lol.

Maybe this is a drama for CGV. We might get racy and quality based on their short history.

Maybe they could hire the aspiring writer from Because This Is My First Life and retitle the show
Because This Is My First Show :)

"MBC in talks" and they are so good at it lol. Dae Jang Geum 2 anyone?
I think they do it just to get people's reaction first. I won't be surprise if they'll end up putting this on hold.

The positive thing about MBC doing sageuk last minute is they already have a sageuk set and costume to reuse etc.

They also have a lot of sageuk writers that they might be able to get last minute.
Hwang Jin-young who is well versed in Korean history, especially the Joseon era.
Kim Yi-young (love Yi-san) but she needs to redeem herself from her last 2 sageuks. Same with Choi Wan-kyu who did well with "Sangdo" and pretty much went downhill with everything else.
Maybe Jang Young-cheol will regain his "Giant" magic.
Kim Woon-gyung (The Duo) etc etc...

Ikd, maybe they'll luck out with new writers like KBS' "The Princess Man" writers.

tvN makes more sense to me than MBC, especially as it aired HYENA (at 3AM!), which is one of the raciest Kdramas I've seen so far. (It was also very funny, and poignant, too. And had a great cast, in particular Oh Man-seok and Shin Sung-rok, who both sang.)

MBC did have a drama several years ago that was rated 19+. "Friend, Our Legend" with Hyun Bin. It aired late at night on weekends. However, MBC messed it up by censoring damn near anything related to violence or drugs. Blurring entire gang fights, tattoos, and soju bottles. Absolutely stupid and harmed what was otherwise a great drama IMO. I don't have much faith that MBC will do anything racy with this remake.

Channel CGV had a couple of dramas like "Girl K" with nudity and sexual content, but I don't think they produce dramas anymore.

LOL I think Lee Jun-ki's name is always comes first whenever there is news on the potential sageuk or any remake. I had his name on my mind as well when I read this news yesterday. Lee Jun-ki & Moon Chae-won would be great. Another moon -Moon Geun-young would be great as well.

Honestly, I'm in doubt about this remake, seems like it's going to be penned by new writer, which can be good or bad thing, because otherwise they might announced the PD +writer, along side this news.
