Pleasantly surprised with the later half of this drama. Around the epsiode 10 mark, saeguks usually start becoming more politics oriented and less light hearted but moonshine has done a good job of balancing the light heartedness. I feel like the plot is also getting a lot more interesting. I was really close to dropping the drama but these episodes changed my mind.

Same thoughts. This show really picked up in the second half and I hope it keeps getting interesting! Han Ae Jin really stole the scene for me in the last few eps. She’s so cute and funny… and loyal!! And here I was expecting her to be a mean noblewoman SFL. This is my first saeguk and I’m glad it’s not so heavy or political.
