Thank you for sharing @kiara. Sageuk has been a genre which produced some of the good actors from long time ago. Not saying these idols are not good and not working hard like real actors, but some of these real actors have a proper acting training from their debut days and they take smallest kind of roles first and learn a lot from sunbaes for some years. Child actors like you mentioned have been acting in numerous of sageuk, and most importantly they also got a real life lesson from veterans. Having familiar & established sageuk actors would also help in rating (this is also among the reasons why Ruler got high rating). Moon lovers probably would be able to get higher rating if some real actress was in IU's place. Of course not all of actors who debuted as an actor /not idol are good. Jin Se-yeon for example have been leading lady from many years ago despite of still green and lacks of skills,but some idols probably are better actress than her. Good acting skill is not to be developed in overnight and talent must also be there at the first place, idol or not.

I didn't mind the romance being slow here. TBH I wouldn't mind if it didn't have one. What I love most is the character growth and understanding between both leads.

Lol, your comment got me to the Soompi thread and Omo!!! The Kiss!!! O.O

The romance buildup is slow but lovely indeed. I'd rather having my OTP kiss at episode 12 but everything just clicks together rather than they kiss at the first half but I don't understand what they see in each other. :))

The show got the right balance with OTP scenes and their time-travel mystery plus the side stories. One of the best 'fusion' sageuk I've ever watched!

I would definitely lose the bet on the kiss scene. I thought that we would get a kiss on ep 8 because you know, drama-rules. lol. I do love that the romance is slow but still so so oh so satisfying. I really love the budding relationship between the leads. I actually don't mind not having any kiss scene at all but I would still take one if they give one ( *ahem*). heheehe. I'm soo excited for ep 12. I'm like goofy Heo-Im right now. Super hyper and excited like a puppy. :D

I am loving 'Live Up to Your Name'. I've not been too thrilled with many K-Dramas lately and the last one I really liked (adored, actually) was 'Goblin'. I'm glad LUTYN is developing into one really well done show.

Unfortunately there's nothing really here in CM to captivate the audience. It lacks the depth on each case, I feel they should show the team working harder to investigate each case. It ends up feeling superficial and samey. There's not a lot to comment on, sadly.

Like it or loathe it, at least Scarlet heart provoked comment.

Yeah same here....as much as I love the cast and the original the drama itself is executed pretty badly. What I loved about the original was dialogue between the characters and about the cases but it just seemed so bland and obvious in this drama. I really tried to like it but I just couldn't watch it anymore and dropped it awhile back. I feel really bad for the cast but hopefully they all find a better project in the near future.
