Oh my @wishfultoki! Is that my boy Chan (30B17)? Chan what has life done to you?
Here is my situation. I just returned from two weeks of traveling with no kdramas watched and a few DB comments made after checking in now and then. I have a guest for the rest of this week. I currently have 2 dramas on my viewing plate: HP2 and POL U (preferred to PU) which I will catch up on.
Just before departing I discovered that LOVERS OF THE RED SKY would not be a traditional sageuk.
I am on the fence but leaning against trying to get caught up. I planned to pass on KBS’s AFFECTION.
At this stage of the game I think I may just wait for MBC’s THE RED SLEEVE CUFF (Junho, Lee Se-young) premiering on Nov. 5.
Toki, I will read your RED SKY reviews and make a decision.
I wouldn’t bother with RED SKY unless you like fantasy. I’m watching for Kim Yoo-jung. I’m also passing on AFFECTION so will join you on Nov. 5th for RED SLEEVE CUFF.
I had HP2 on my list but I saw spoilers on the fan wall and am no longer interested 😢 I will watch the band scenes on YouTube.
MDL has tvN’s TALE OF THE SECRET ROYAL INSPECTOR AND JO YI (Taecyon, Kim Hye-yoon) airing episode one on Nov. 1 so that would be a M/T sageuk comedic drama.
MDL has RED SLEEVE CUFF airing episode one on Nov. 5 so that would be a F/S sageuk drama.
I will probably juggle both of those dramas and as they wrap up KBS’s WHEN FLOWERS BLOOM, I THINK OF THE MOON (Yoo Seung-ho, Lee Hye-ri) according to MDL will air episode one on Dec. 20, 2021 running 16 episodes M/T until Feb. 15, 2022.
So there is more sageuk action running from the beginning of November well into February, 2022.

Review of Ep 3: in which I enlisted my sister to watch with me and tried to figure out some of the mythology.

Jeonha, kill me now! 🤣
Out of those 3, I’ll try RED CUFF SLEEVE. Not sure about the other two, though I love Yoo Seung-ho.

I am also a YSH fan although I have only seen him in two dramas: the sageuk RULER: MASTER OF THE MASK, and INAR.

Thanks Toki. Such a pity that dbs isn’t recapping. I wish I’d been around in the earlier days of javabeans.

Just posted my summary and breakdown of the lore on my wall. Sorry if you got like 10 tags whilst I was trying to figure out formatting : )

Wowo, thank you Sic! It looks great! I’ll watch Episodes 5-6 and then comment in more detail.
