I wonder why the drama is so badly written. Gotta admit that I have lost interest but the things that happened last week kind of made me become interested again. In my years of watching sageuk, it is usually has better script in general and with the theme of Haesoo coming from the future, they are so many things that they could use/explore like what Song Ji Na did with Kim Hee Soo's character in Faith.

And since this drama got financial help from China and preproduced, I thought it will have better production in term of props and extra actors but the drama pretty much only involved very few extras as servants, guards or armies that the palace looks kind of empty (even during the attempted coup). I'm rewatching Yi San at the moment and I'm basically very impressed with how many extras they put in the drama -- thats how they supposed to do here, this is a Palace we're talking about -- it supposed to fill with many servants and guards.

Agreed with everything you said.
I'm wondering where did all the money go. I was so excited for the coup scenes, but all I could think about is how unimpressive and lacking everything looks.

The coup scene is very disappointing. :( You want to take the throne with that few armies? Give me a break. :(

This kind of remind me with The Legend. They spent billions on the drama production (the most expensive kdramas ever made) but there are nothing really impressive about it. Jumong has better Palace, props, and extras.

I'm imagining a decent amount of is going towards 3rd prince's eye make-up.

Yes a lot of things seem to have been done cheaply or sloppily. The editing is a mess, there are not enough extras. Goryeo seems empty. Where are all the servant staff, the guards, the soldiers, the citizens?
