I think I already heard before that Healer's writer was going for a sageuk? Or am I confusing her with another writer?

Yes happy and confused. I don't know what to think of this. I think she is better off as a solo writer.
Her last two sageuks were nothing remotely close to "Sandglass" and "Eyes of Dawn" in quality.

I'm not on board with the leads but here is hoping that it'll be good.

Good job, marketing department. Now, you have my full attention.

*flaws uncontrollably* I wasn't going to watch this before but, aargh Healer's writer. Song Ji-nanim!!!!

What? ? OK confused but not that happy. Maybe we can be a bit relieved, as we can hope at least a decent writing. I disliked Faith but I quite liked her other two sageuk. But that were so many years ago, sincerely I hope she still has her touch. I don't interested with any of the main casts of this drama, but with Song Ji Nah on board maybe I'll check one or two epi at least.

Well you had me at Im Shi-wan but if Song Ji-nah is involved that's even better.

I wasn't really all that excited for this because, despite liking Im Shi-wan, I just don't feel the chemistry between any of the leads. Or rather can't picture them with it right now. But now I'm definitely hoping to be surprised!

With Song Ji-nah involved, I can't not get interested. Her characters always seem to draw me in, so I'll be hoping for the best here.

I have a feeling that this is gonna be my drama crack after Strong Woman. Or so I hope. Please be good because I really like stories with anti-heroes.

Faith wasn't perfect, but I have a sweet spot for it. I hope that her getting involved doesn't mean the writing was subpar or problematic during filming and needed to be fixed. Crossing fingers.

No way! I was already going to look into this show, but now that the writer turns out to be the scriptwriter of Healer, I definitely have to watch it. Although I don't know of her past saeguk works, if you mention Healer or the writer, my attention will always perk up.

I didn't watch faith, but The Legend and Great Ambition were among some of my favorite sageuk.

Korea's history gets more and more interesting every time I learn more about it.
I'll probably try it out if only for the fact that it's written by Song Ji Na and that name drop of Kublai.
Although I do wonder how historically accurate this will be.

Ok. I already decided to watch this long ago because of Im Siwan and the period of the drama, so now that they throw in this little info, I'm a bit more positive that this just might be good. Please be good.

Could it be that they are afraid it will tank just like Scarlet Heart? Even 7DQ is low in ratings compared to the expectations, no?
And now that the premier is getting closer they are realizing that with no advertising it could go even worse so they realized that this could get more people to watch? Just an assumption...

it doesn’t hurt that the real-life figure he’ll portray led a pretty fascinating life (among other things, his maternal grandfather was Kublai Khan).

after reading this, I did some googling starting from Kublai Khan and omg, it is so fascinating!!! I remember we studied Genghis Khan in history class when I was in high school, but can't remember Kublai Khan.

What's the difference? Yoonah is still the lead actress (statue)

Healer and Faith (although not perfect dramas) remain some of my all-time favourites that I keep going back to. Who can forget LMH in all his stoic-soldier glory, and that foul-mouthed "great doctor" that always tagged along with him? Or our favourite bongsookie by day, errand boy by night, who has jealousy issues with himself over our adorable girl lead. I think this writer makes her characters very likeable that I always want to root for them. Now I have no choice but to check out the new drama...

I was all for it, until of a bromance destroyed by a Goryeo crown prince and his best friend falling in love with the same girl. Ouch. Why, Show, whyyyyyyyyy???

Lol, besides the fact that I read "manatees" instead of "mentees" (I was like, "wait, what?!"), I kinda feel bad for Airborne, but can see why Song Ji-nah ended up taking over. Either way, I hope everyone gets the credit they deserve and here's to yet ANOTHER drama to add onto The List! Not complaining! Nope.

Ugh no Hong Jong-hyun's still :(
Can't wait for July, please be good show.

Unrelated but yoon ah's fake hair braid looks extra fake in that still.
I still like her though.

I hope this will be good since I really wanna see Siwannie in a good sageuk!!
