Having watched the entire drama, I think these episodes (5-6) were the slowest. I will give these 7.8 stars out of 10. Many other episodes, especially the later ones, are 10 stars in my book. The drama is still introducing the players and building the base where the rest of the story will unfold. TheseContinue reading “HAECHI, Random Ranting: Epi 5-6”

HAECHI Overview. “The Indictment Of Virtue.” Epi 5-6
The door opens abruptly. Geum (lazily): “Oh My! How can this be? That so-called witness… is here.” Jeonseok: “My Lord the Prince Yeoning.” Geum (holding onto the side not to lose balance): “I did have a drink, but I am also drunk on a dream. What did you call me, that dammed witness? (Becoming steady,Continue reading “HAECHI Overview. “The Indictment Of Virtue.” Epi 5-6″
HAECHI: Random Ranting, Epi 3-4
I love stories of underdogs who triumph against all odds. Prince Yeoning is the epitome of an underdog. Having a mother from the lowest caste in Joseon society, in an era where family background determined one’s worth and destiny, he surely was not acknowledged as a true Prince by most of the upper class noblesContinue reading “HAECHI: Random Ranting, Epi 3-4”
HAECHI Overview. “What Is Your Name?” Epi 3-4
Tan: “Oh how cute! I feel sorry killing him.” Geum: “Then let her go, she’s a girl. (Drinking tea, nonchalant.) Don’t you have any pride? How can you hurt a lady?” “A girl?” “Fight me instead.” Yeoji: “Excuse me. What’re you trying to do?” Tan: “This is a girl? So are you trying to showContinue reading “HAECHI Overview. “What Is Your Name?” Epi 3-4″
HAECHI: RANDOM RANTING, EPISODES 1-2
When I first watched this drama, I was just happy to see Jung Ilwoo on screen. And what better character than an underdog Prince who becomes one of the greatest kings of Korea? In the eyes of Cho Hong, the lowly Prince’s traveling companion: Who is this mysterious man? He had a naughty smile butContinue reading “HAECHI: RANDOM RANTING, EPISODES 1-2”
HAECHI Overview. The Lowly Prince: Episodes 1-2
It was the year 1719. King Sukjong was dying but he tried to keep this a secret. His first born and heir, Crown Prince Hwiso, was unable to conceive, so the political leaders were looking for another successor to the throne. There was lots of infighting among different factions. The strongest party (Norons) led byContinue reading “HAECHI Overview. The Lowly Prince: Episodes 1-2”

HAECHI. An Unexpected Blogging Journey
Being ethnically Korean, I grew up watching Korean dramas since the time I learned to talk. Watching these shows taught me so much about my culture and shaped my identity. I also enjoyed reading and at times, writing. But I lacked discipline to write anything specific. At the beginning of this millennium, I heard ofContinue reading “HAECHI.
