My personal thoughts- written by Jazmine K.
MBC is in the zone when it comes to historical dramas, its something they do well at.
I missed Junho a lot. I know he picks interesting projects and so does Lee Se Young so I’ll have the faith that this will be a good pick.
Personally speaking, historical projects aren’t my favorite genre but for those two actors that I love I’ll surely be watching the premiere.
The idea seems nice, I can already picture them in those roles, and I think they’ll have good chemistry together. Fighting!
