History & Romance
ROOKIE HISTORIAN GOO HAE-RYUNG (2019) is a really funny and touching Kdrama about a female historian and male romance novelist that both face gender discrimination. I watched this series with my father and it delivered a lot of laughs."Set in 19th-century Korea, a female historian faces gender discrimination but perseveres. She gets entangled with Prince Lee Rim, blurring lines between duty and personal involvement."
Overall, this series was surprisingly meaningful and shockingly good. It was really funny, sweet and compelling. The cast, costumes, sets and aesthetics were really great. Very watchable kdrama for sure.

Loved it!
One word: Amazing!I absolutely loved everything about this show and have so many good things to say about it.
Originally, I started this show because I really enjoy Shin Sae-Kyeong's acting, and of course, she did not disappoint. This drama only made me like her more.
This is my first historical kdrama, I never watched any before because I thought they wouldn't be for me. But after watching this one, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
As far as the actual show, the plot and chemistry between the leads was everything I needed! They were just so cute. Another thing I loved about this show was the comedic timing, it was just so funny and had me laughing quite a lot. I found all the side characters very lovable and funny as well. All the outfits/props/scenery were just so beautiful I found myself at awe many times.
I'm always a fool for a good romance, I highly recommend this one!

Bellissimo, assolutamente da vedere!
Ho appena finito "Rookie Historian: Goo Hae Ryung" e l'ho AMATO ALLA FOLLIA.Invece di bingewatcharlo in due giorni me lo sono goduto per bene, ci ho messo più o meno due settimane a vederlo, godendomi davvero ogni episodio e l'ho amato tantissimo.
Confesso di averlo iniziato praticamente solo per Cha Eun Woo e devo dire che ne è valsa la bene, a parte che lui è fantastico, ma proprio la storia è stata bellissima. E' stato il mio primo kdrama storico e mi è piaciuto tantissimo!
La trama è super interessante, i personaggi femminili qualcosa di speciale, donne scritte in una maniera quasi impeccabile, le ho amate praticamente tutte, a partire da Goo Hae Ryung, veramente la protagonista più bella che abbia visto in kdrama, per non parlare della regina madre (l'unica altra attrice che conoscevo), di Mo Hwa (veramente che personaggione, la amo alla follia), delle altre storiche, delle dame di corte, tutti personaggi femminili super diversi fra loro, caratterizzati in una maniera davvero interessante.
Gli storici ovviamente sono i miei preferiti, mi sono entrati tutti nel cuore e voglio bene ad ognuno di loro, ma al funzionario Min in particolare.
Niente, tutto troppo bello, così a caldo manco ragiono in modo sensato, però bellissimo, vorrei azzerarmi la memoria per rincominciare a vederlo dall'inizio!

Spoonfed bias sociopolitics
This is one of the best examples I've came across to what I like to call a "cosplay show", it had little to no serious consideration for its proposed era. The trend continued when the drama started to get preachy from a modern society point of view while being in no position to allow it to attempt such a thing. These could have been avoided if the drama was a parody, of which, it was not. There were obvious other problems and inconsistencies too, but what stood out the most was the mundane sequences filling the biggest portion of the drama, these were a real brain rot.What did the drama want to be? A social commentary, a political play, a profession spotlight, a slice of life, or a light romcom? It never embraced any aspect of fully committed to a theme. Whenever it tried to delve deeper, it pulled itself back up to the surface. Unsuccessful mix, regardless. There were other points to be made about the cast, chemistry, and romance but I don't feel like repeating myself.

Strong Female Lead !!!!
I absolutely loved this drama for many reasons. But specially wanted to mention female lead's strong character and the screenplay. It's so refreshing to see plot points which showed western influence on the Korean culture. I loved the female lead from run on in which she has a very solid characterization, but surprised to see same characterization in ancient set. Crown prince, his sense of righteousness and his heartwarming smile definitely make us to love the series more. Lastly I am very much in love with the ending of the drama, it's so satisfying to see crown prince become king because he knew the problems of people, he has all the skillset a king is expected to have compared to dowon prince, he deserved the throne and male and female leads living in together without succumbing to the then customs perfectly suited the direction in which whole series was going. Perfect story, perfect screenplay and perfect ending.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Great Saeguk but the final Episode made no sense
I loved this story for the way it presented Korean history/culture in its interactions with its neighbors and the west and inverted gender stereotypes by making the FL level-headed and cynical while the ML was romantic and optimistic. I loved the political intrigue and tension, the insight provided into the roles of everyone in the Joseon court and bureaucracy. The custuming and cinematography were beautiful which reinforced why I love saeguks. The series was always fascinating and informative.It was consistent in this until the final episode when the writers suddenly could not make decisions about how to end the series. The ending is nonsensical and shambolic and ruined an otherwise interesting series.

The headedstrong apprentice and the naive prince
I try to avoid watching sageuk dramas as much as I can because of these common tropes.- the "strong" FL
- the handsome ML
- court intrigue involving a puppet king and corrupt court officials
- clan rivalries
If you've finished one sageuk drama, then you've already finished most of them.
Korea must have hated their monarchy to a point where they almost never appear good or in actual control of the situation. The monarchy is either represented as being corrupt of being mere puppets.
This is another example of a noona romance that is if you don't mind seeing an ML who is not yet legally adult during the "courtship" bumble his way about the FL who is late into the socially acceptable marriageable age at the time. Although I'm a fan of noona romances, I must admit being disturbed and cringing at the interaction between the FL and the ML. Perhaps because the series primarily centered around the female point of view instead of the male POV. I also felt like the romance between the leads was unnecessary. They could simply have focused on the court historian portion of the story.
This series is notorious for its tonal shift from being a romcom to being a serious sageuk in the latter part of the series with the last episodes being too rushed to be fully satisfying.
Regardless of the villains getting their just desserts, they still succeeded in making sure that the true heir to the throne never becomes interested in being king by starving him of freedom and knowledge while growing up. So the bad guys still won while the audience is fooled into thinking the Male Lead's freedom is all that he deserved.

Também conhecido como A Historiadora, esse é um dorama de 2019 disponível na Netflix e que foi uma grata surpresa para mim nesse ano. Eu não tinha quase nenhuma experiência com doramas históricos, os chamados sageuks, porque em grande parte os achava um tanto maçantes no quesito drama e não tão leves como costumo gostar. Ao me deparar com Rookie Historian, porém, vi algumas brechas para bons momentos de descontração no enredo e entre seus personagens, além de ter o Eun Woo do ASTRO como um dos protagonistas, então resolvi dar uma chance e... QUE BOM QUE EU FIZ ISSO!
⠀
Eu não poderia ter encontrado doses mais acertadas dos mais diversos gêneros! Além do cunho histórico da trama, que se passa na Era Joseon, o enredo que começa com o foco na historiadora Goo Hae-Ryung e no jovem príncipe Yi Rim, logo se desenrola também em torno de outros personagens, dentro e fora do palácio, e vai se aprofundando desde tramas políticas entre a própria família real quanto entre os demais trabalhadores do lugar, até levantar várias reflexões e dilemas desde fé, religião, liberdade de expressão e muito mais.⠀
⠀
É um drama que vai muito além do romance, que é só um dos destaques da trama, mas que nem por isso passa batida. Pelo contrário, se dá em doses certas para nos fazer apegar e torcer pelo casal mais e mais, bem como a torcer pelos protagonistas e os demais personagens em suas respectivas batalhas pessoais. ⠀
⠀
Foram vários os momentos que Yi Rim e o eunuco e damas de companhia me leveram às risadas, foram vários os momentos em que Hae-Ryung me fazia admirá-la cada vez mais por sua garra e coragem, dentre tantas outras coisas que eu poderia citar, mas que prefiro deixar em suspense para que vocês assistam e se deliciem com tudo assim como eu me deliciei e me envolvi!
