Enjoyable period drama
About brothers, history and time travel. What if one had the benefit of hindsight, and is made a key character in a historic palace? Drama ensues, with bloody court intrigue due to sibling rivalry and failures at securing succession. Nonetheless, it was a tad more entertaining than I expected, given its shaky premise. Basically 15 or so brothers vie for a venus de milo of sorts from the future who appears in their pool. Each of their strengths and weaknesses are progressively revealed like an onion, and mostly end in tears.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The Best Acting Eveeeeeeer!
Ok...I have a major MLSHR hangover and I don't know if how I'll get over it...This story was absolutely incredible, the opposite kind of story I end up loving in dramas because hey, life is hard enough, why get immersed in tragic, too-real stories like these? But oh my gosh, this one is one for the ages. I started watching dramas pretty late which means I get so easily disappointed by older dramas but MLSHR was one of those dramas that kept coming up everywhere I looked. I get it now good people, I get all the fuss and in fact, I am totally sold out to the MLSHR Fanclub.
The story and the writing credits go to the writer of the book. The cast though, they brought this story to life! I loved most the fact that these characters were real people, like yeah, me too. I understand how you feel and would probably have made the same mistake you did Hae Soo or when Wang So is plagued so terribly by his insecurities, I felt that.
Let's talk about Lee Joon Gi for a moment because that is the best acting I have ever watched. He stepped into a complex, character and kiiiiilllllled it! Every line every scene...it was so phenomenal, Lee Joon Gi held out to the very end and made me fall in love with a character that was deep and raw and human with incredible willpower. I am in awe!
That's it, that's the end of my review. I am on the floor, totally shook, even dazed because this drama was a whole out-of-this-world experience.

This drama was amazing!! Their acting was very good and emotional. The plot / story was very emotional and towards the end I remember crying very much. I also appreciate the music. But it did not end as I would have wanted. I think they could at least have made a better ending or make a season two, because I really want to know what happend afterwards. What happend to Go Ha Jin afterwards, except for going back to her normal life? Did the 4th prince meet her in the future or what? And the last sentence the 4th prince said, what did he mean? Will he find her in the future or what?
But it was still a very good drama and I would recommend it to others!

It's a classic with a twist
I can surely say that even after so many years, this drama still has such an amazing storyline and cast.It's not your generic power-struggling male lead which only has eyes the throne and the storyline is a regression into the past which we don't see too much in dramas.
The storyline encompasses the notion of everyday struggles of someone who is seen as a 'monster' simply because they are slightly different from everyone else, whether that be in their appearance or their personality and highlights that we all need that extra someone to help us get through those difficult times.
Because of the nature of the storyline, the cast needs to have good chemistry with one another and they were able to display on screen which made it even more difficult not to get emotional during some parts of the series.
There are not too much complaints on this series, personally I am content with everything (other than the depressing ending ?).
Overall, it is recommended if you're looking for a light and fluffy yet relatable romance series.
Happy Binging!!

The best historical drama
This is now my new favorite historical drama! The acting and cast were great especially Lee Joon Gi. The show had plenty of humor in it mostly at the beginning. I was laughing at the behavior of some of the princes and the main actress. Then the show became more serious as the series progresses. The fight for the throne brought a lot of betrayal and pain. There are a lot of sad scenes throughout the series so be sure to have tissues on hand. what I mostly liked about the series was the romance between the two main characters: Wang So and Hae Soo. They had some truly sweet and wonderful moments as well as heartbreaking and sad moments. Unfortunately, a happy ending was not in cards for them and the last 3 episodes are truly heartbreaking.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

If you're looking for an angsty drama, you should watch this!
Scarlet Heart: Ryeo was a series that I was really hesitating a lot to watch. Why? Because I heard that the ending was tragic. (although i am a sucker for angsty series) But the moment I started the series, I can't help but watch it until the end. The next thing I know, I am 100% emotionally invested in this drama. Yes, there were plot holes and it may not be the perfect k-drama but my experience with it was overall great.The only thing that kinda feels off for me is the characters' development. There were times where the writing makes it seem that the character's development is going somewhere and right there and then it backpedals. Aside from that, Hae Soo (IU) in the first half of the drama has a romantic relationship with Prince Wook (Ha-neul) and then suddenly shifts to Wang So (Joon-gi) as if she didn't have any feelings with Prince Wook. There's nothing wrong with changing the character's love interest however I just feel that it was so sudden and lacking of momentum. The side characters' story was also well shown. Their stories drove the main story forward and kept the viewers entertained/invested in the story. However, I wish that they should have given their stories more time to develop so that the viewers can be attached more to the characters and their stories.
The ending for me is the most satisfying ending that I could think of. Is it the ending that I anticipated? Definitely not. However, no matter what angle you look at it it would have been more of a cheap ending and unsatisfactory if they all went for the ending that we all anticipated. I wish that they didn't leave it as open-ended as it was without going for a season 2. The only thing that I like about open-ended endings are that it gives room for the viewers to think and imagine their own ending. I definitely cried while watching this and if you're looking for a series to cry over, you should definitely watch Scarlet Heart:Ryeo!

No sé porque la aman
HistoriaPensé que la iba a amar, la odie. Es que empieza de que la chica es una reencarnada y por eso es diferente, y por eso todos se enamoran de ella.(también es linda) Me pareció muy Mary Sue.
Y ni hablar que después parece una novela,con su drama, tragedia y paso del tiempo.
Y el final, es de en serio? Más trágico imposible, que necesidad lo de la reencarnada aún no lo entiendo. Podían no hacer un k-drama de reencarnación y empezar con amnesia solamente (con actitudes extrañas ya sabiendo cosas como si hubiera venido del futuro pero sin decírmelo desde el principio) y hubiera funcionado igual, incluso mejor.
Actuación/elenco
No me gustó IU (al menos en este papel) algún día veré Hotel de Luna y quizás mí opinión de ella mejore, pero en este papel no.
Los demás no puedo decir nada, me gustaron dentro de todo.
Musica
No me viene a la mente ninguna canción que me haya encantado. Supongo que bien
Valor de repetición
La mire porque quería un k-drama de reencarnación (después de ver Mr Queen) y porque todas las reseñas decían que la habían amado (se que la opinión es subjetiva) pero yo no la miraría otra vez y me hubiera gustado no verla nunca.

amores, perdas e um destino inescapável
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo é, sem dúvida, um dos meus kdramas favoritos, e é difícil expressar o impacto que ele teve em mim. A série não só me prendeu do início ao fim, mas deixou uma impressão duradoura que nunca se apagou da minha memória.A história, que mistura romance, drama e elementos históricos, é profundamente emocional. A protagonista, Go Ha-jin, é transportada no tempo para a dinastia Goryeo, onde se envolve com os príncipes da corte, cada um com suas próprias ambições e desafios. O enredo é repleto de reviravoltas e dilemas morais que mantêm o público na ponta da cadeira. Apesar do peso trágico que permeia a narrativa, a série consegue equilibrar momentos de leveza e diversão, trazendo um frescor que é irresistível.
O desenvolvimento dos personagens é um dos grandes destaques da série. A química entre os protagonistas é palpável, e a luta de Ha-jin para navegar em um mundo tão diferente do seu é tanto dolorosa quanto engraçada. É uma jornada de amor, amizade e sacrifício, e a intensidade emocional que os personagens vivenciam torna tudo ainda mais real.
Embora a série seja marcada por sua melancolia, é essa mesma tristeza que a torna tão memorável. A capacidade de evocar risos e lágrimas em igual medida é um verdadeiro testemunho da habilidade dos criadores. As histórias de amor e desamor, juntamente com as complexidades das relações familiares e políticas, criam uma tapeçaria rica que ressoa com o espectador.

(It really contains some spoilers so I advise some caution)MLSHR was the first drama I ever watched 3 years ago. My friend recomended it to me because we love anything asian historical and because of Lee Joon Gi's handsome face, I didn't have no idea about anything related to k-dramas. Only this stupid prejudice that the Westerns have for the quality of anything asian related... I will never forget this drama and now, that I watched all these dramas, I will write about it.
Ok the story is not something exceptional. Time-travel (now I have seen is common enough in plots), let's say poor girl/rich guy, love triangle, historical, princes, politics, bloodbath, sad-ending (I will never understand why historical dramas mostly have sad endings). I have read the story is from a chinese book and drama (I haven't watched it) and I discovered that the plot is similar to the book (even how they go in the present). Maybe not the newest idea but it is really interesting and it keeps you at the edge of your seat. And even if it pained me, the sad end was fitting. Normally, dramas with a lot of characters tend to be really tiring because the writers don't care enough, if I say, for the second characters. But here everyone has enough characterization and space to develop. Personally, I sympathized more with the support characters than the main. I really don't remember who was the bad guy and what was his role on the story....
As of the cast, I will never understand how they could manage to find all these handsome boys. It was the reason I became a fan of Lee Joon Gi. How handsome and charismatic he is and he was the perfect fit for the role. I think it is his best drama. Kang Han Neul and Nam Joo Hyuk was also very memorable. And IU, even if her role was not the best, she was exceptionally good (I don't believe "singers cannot act", if someone has the talent can).
Overall, for me is THE BEST historical drama with My Country: New Age (maybe because I really cannot stand and understand the Joseon fashion...). One of these days I am thinking of re-watch it.
(English is not my first languge so sorry of any mistakes)

Korean iteration of Chinese Drama 2011. Great Music. Great Acting. Fanboy vibes strong.
Plot: Overall the I didn't have problems with the plot progression other than the fact I am biased against a weak female lead getting pushed away by the main lead and antagonist but I guess it can't be helped with the treatment of women during that historical era. The plot made sense considering that. This is a remake of the 2011 drama from China so forgive me if I wasn't WOWed by the story this time around. It's a great story that was unfortunately inhibited by messy poor editting and pacing. They could've fleshed it out a bit more with more episodes. This is a bloody political mess so get ready.Acting: Their acting was definitely great however. You feel the chemistry and emotions with the male leads. Supporting cast were great as well but I could have enjoyed it just as much with them removed. Seohyun's acting never really captivated me so that was alright.
Music:
The ost tracks and themes are lit. Always been a fan of Taeyeon.
Tbh I was brought here by the review of a user who went to Eternal Love's review and bashed on the quote "crap" drama for getting a 9.0 while comparing it to this one which she thought should've gotten a higher score and gave it a 1.0. For future reference, people shouldn't review dramas and tag other ones if they have no relevence. And remember, no drama is ever a 10. That is impossible.
Luckily I had already watched this drama prior so I do not have any inclination to hate so rest assured.

From mother complex to wtf is happening? Sorta
Probably writing this review is not very fair since I had mixed feelings while completing the series. Overall I am very biased towards Lee Joongi and I really, really, liked the first half(?) of the show.The cast and production and all their clothing make this a great one (I love their dresses and robes). While also, that one episode deserves to be purged for eternity and made me hate this show so much. Together with the fact that the female lead did some very questionable stuff (she is not likeable for a female lead).
Anyway, it made me curious about Goryeo and its history. It is entertaining albeit I did lose some of my braincells. Lastly, Lee Joongi eye candy is spectacular.
