Moon Lovers

At long last, by popular demand, drumroll please....

This week we're digging into Moon Lovers aka Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo. The drama is a 2016 Korean adaptation of the 2011 Chinese drama Scarlet Heart. It stars Lee Joon-gi, IU, and Kang Ha-neul (as well as most everyone else in K-dramalandia).

The story follows a modern day young woman, Go Ha Jin, who mysteriously gets swept back in time after saving a little kid from drowning. She comes to in the body of a lady's maid, Hae Soo, and decides...welp when in the Goryeo (I'm sure 14 hot shirtless princes who like to frolic in a smoldering hot spring doesn't hurt).

This drama is divisive. Do you think it's an addictive sweeping ride that excuses any missteps...or are you so caught up in the plot holes and wtf that you couldn't commit? Join Lia and special correspondent, Sarah from K-Drama This, as they set up into two opposing camps. But admit it, ya'll. You sort of love when we disagree.

However, no matter what, we are united in our love for Lee Joon-gi and his emo Phantom of the Opera style mask and emotional boo boos.
