Yup, Jang Hyuk is great to watch when in action mode. His earlier duel with Wang Wook at the Princes's contest was even better than the match up in the scene you painted. But here he is in masked mode and that brings it up a notch in terms of coolness! Super intensity in his eyes!

My sister came to visit me last week. She reluctantly watched this week's SOGC episodes. Afterwards I showed her the first episode. She's hooked.

(Except she's not going to watch it until it's over and I promise her it "ends happily." She is not the addict that I am. Should I lie and tell her it ends well even if it doesn't? Nah.)

Sidebar: I can't believe how much "stuff" the first episode disclosed that I had forgotten!!

It is the only K-drama that is current that I am watching.

And I really REALLY like it.

Jang Hyuk is just awesome! I've loved him since Thank You and his melo skills were always fab. Of course Chuno came along and since then, I don't think anyone has or ever will top that kind of acting performance. No one can even come close.

But before Fated, I did not know he had it in him to be such a great comedic actor. In Shine, he's hilarious at times, heartbreaking at others. I love how bad-ass he is and then goofy-lovable the next. He converts with such ease too.

This drawing is so kick-ass and just... accurate! I mean, everything about it is spot-on... keep it up Fanderay! So jealous of your skills!

Beautiful. And now I have a new dream: seeing Jang Hyuk and Lee Joon Ki in a saeguk together. Oh my goodness, we would get some amazing fight scenes with actual emotions. I'm going to have sweet dreams tonight:)

Oh boy this drama is beyond awesome! Even 24 eps is not enough to tell this amazing story. Janghyuk is just awesome as Prince Wangso and idk how perfect the female lead is. Oh Yeon Seo as Shinyool is another plus point for this drama. Her acting, voice , and beauty is shining here. Totally love how spunky, fierce, smart , and elegant she is.

Janghyuk action is always on point!! Compared to Im Joo Hwan who i thought doesn't fit his role at all.

I seriously don't knoe ehat to do when this drama ends. It only get more and more intense as every ep goes by. The couple chemistry is killing it as well!!
Who knows that Ohyeonseo and janghyuk pairig can be this good. I'm new to ohyeonseo but she should consider leading more saeguks. These two are gems~

Jang Hyuk is fantastic (and smexy!) - as always. He does the vulnerable, naive yet smart-witted and righteous prince with brilliance. I find his character throughly realistic and inspiring. In contrast, Wang Wook is a horribly written second lead and is equally horribly acted by Im Ju-hwan. His one-track mind rots my brain a little every episode. I thought I was tired of sweet, giving, caring second male leads. But if the other option is obsessive, possessive lunatics like WW, then I'll pass, thank you very much.

I feel SOGC could've been 30 episodes and they'll still have lots of narrative but I'm also confident 6 episodes is enough to get us to a satisfying conclusion for my fav drama of the year.

Yes WW is a terrible 2nd male lead and badly acted by Im Joo Hwan. He falls really bad compared to Janghyuk and even other small supporting roles.
The two leads are too outstanding in this drama. Shinyool is a character that i'm rooting so much and i just want her to be happy in the end. It's been so long since a kdrama makes me so addicted every week....

You are so talented..... I love all your artworks. Janghyuk is so fierce in his role as WS but he can be such a loving guy towards SY. Yes... some people complained about his laugh but i find it contagious esp when he is laughing like a fool whenever he is with SY. This otp is so beautiful... Their relationship is not so formal like the usual saeguk. They compliment each other well as SY is so smart and wise. She is like a lover, wife, cute little brother/sister, motherly , best friend and everything to him.
I also love how WS is the only person she can lean on for the first time as she is used to be the one protecting and leading her people. It's like they share each other burden.
24 eps is def not enough for me. I'm gonna miss it so bad but i can deal with 6 more eps as long as i can have less WangWook, Yeo Weon, and Wang Sik Ryeom.

SOGC is absolute perfection! It has been forever since I've seen a sageuk that I love with such vigor and dedication. The story telling is fluent and fast paced, the acting is mostly fabulous and the direction is just gorgeous. The unpredictability is probably its best asset along with intriguing, multi-layered characters. I love sageuks much more than modern dramas when it clicks on all departments and this one is such a shining example of that.

I've never seen Oh Yeon Seo before and quite loved her initially. But as the drama went on, I realized how limited she is range; sweet and all, but very meh with her few repetitive facial expressions. She does however have fantastic chemistry with Jang Hyuk. He, on the other hand, is simply delightful to watch. The intensity, controlled emotions, range, comedy and stunts are such a treat. He really shines in scenes where he so desperately tries to reel in his emotions even if its so obvious how he feels. Like with the Dowager Queen or in scenes with Wang Wook or Yeo Won. Absolutely love this guy!

Lee Honey is also hitting it out of the park; I can't quite get myself to hate her even if I know I shouldn't love her either. The little outburst recently was just nailed to perfection. Regal and absolutely convincing in parts, even if has her obvious limitations. All in all, SOGC is all heart though. I'd take this cast and drama ten times over anything that has aired in the past year or so - excluding Punch (and only Punch).

This drama is perfection and i actually love how expressive Oh Yeon Seo in this drama. Her intonation, voice, and expressive eyes are amazing. She cried like no other actresses...so much emotions . She has different method of crying in every scenes.
I even find her the best as a female dressing up as a guy without being over the top and hit everything on the right spot. Being feisty, cute, brave, feminine, poise, and boyish...i can see her as being a character who is smart and bring light on every scene.

Lee honey was great at some scenes but then her portrayal of villain start to get boring . She keeps smiling and relying on her voice. I literally don't care about her anymore after WSR being the bad guy. She is indeed very limited in her role to being the pretty 2nd femme fatale. Modern farmer shows she is nothing without all the beautiful costumes

Im joo hwan is actually good with his saeguk tone and emotion but his looks def ruin whatever he does in this drama. He should consider complaining to the stylist. More over with his corwardly pathetic obsessive

The poster of this drama doesn't interest me at all but i was looking for a good drama after KMHM including good saeguk which have been missing since last year.

I was surprised! I marathoned this drama in 4 days. Now totally can't get enough of it. The first few eps have some weird editing but then it gets better and better every ep.

I thought no one can beat JH and JNR chemistry in FTLY but this pairing blew me away With almost 11 years age gap their chemistry is incredible Now i have to look for some other OYS dramas. Her as Gaebong made me fangirl so hard ^^ . Those dimples are so adorable.

Janghyuk is of course as expected. I find him more attractive in saeguk than usual dramas. His experience in martial arts made every scene of him looks so smexy.

Fantastic art work! Has the feeling of our prince assassin

Always love Jang Hyuk. He comes across great in the painting also as a tiger.

why did i start watching this drama not waiting till it finishes
T T
now i have to wait crazily every week.
I'm in love with the story but i wish they would give me more of Jang Hyuk and Oh Yeon Seo couple scenes.
Their romance is written so well that i can't help wanting them to have an absolute happy ending.
I've seen Jang Bori but never knew that Oh Yeon Seo can be this beautiful with such great acting skills.
I can't wait for Jang Hyuk's character to become king.
On a side note, the guy acting as Se Won is gorgeous too. He is so handsome even with the ninja outfit

SOGC is driving me crazy. There are so many story that ca be unfold (although the otp is my main reason for watching).
Oh Yeon Seo serms to be a rare case, with such a beautiful face, she has a very solid acting skill too. Looking forward to her future works.

Love love love SOGC!! Incredible talent yiu have there. I also love your artwork for KMHM. Can you draw more of Shinyool and Wang So together especially the feather scene. I find it very beautiful like a painting.

Jang Hyuk have been the real star in this drama. He is shining and gas been shinning since the beginning. I was hooked from episode one, even though it was a bit muddled. But I'm going to starting watching it from episode 1 next week so that I get the entire story in sequence and ready for the ending. Deep down I hope he gets the girl. Because he never gets the girl in the sageuk.

I'm also happy with the acting of both females. I'm going to starting looking into their previous work especially Lee Hon Na. What excellent acting. Especially when she confronted him about her treatment as a child. Excellent scene.

Ahhh just watched episode 20 :_(. Somebo

Somebody please steal that bride!!!!!

Im joo wan was the perfect nobleman in tamna island! I believe it's just the writing of wang uk and his hair that fell flat :,(
