Absolutely captivated by this drama. Jo jung-seok and Shin sae-kyung are a delight to watch. Especially thrilled to see Shin sae-kyung in another interesting character. Hoping this ends well.
I’m surprised at how much I’m enjoying it, too, considering a) I was completely bored by the first episode and would have dropped it if not for DB and 2) the production team and actress spent regrettably little time on making sure her character presented as believably, traditionally (or even untraditionally) male. I’ve really had to get over the constant voice in my head that questions how, how, HOW all these people think the baduk gambler is a man.
I will say that’s the one downside of this drama. I think they actually give her some make-up too! WHY? She doesn’t try to disguise her voice she has not faked a beard in the same timeframe as her male counterparts… but the storyline has got me where I am willing to overlook it for now lol
HAHAHHAAHAHA I’ve noticed that at first. They didn’t even try!!! I do like it though as it’s realistic to me that she would pull her clothes like it’s a skirt when she climbs the stairs. It’s her mannerisms and it shows lol. I guess back then, the clothes maketh the person so in their brains, she’s really male. If anything, I like that they don’t judge gender based on appearance hehe
