Her Royal Bubbliness

@Neepharr One thing Netflix never dies is miss out on a wave, their marketing game always on point

Just opened my Netflix to see that Lovely Runner is coming to Netflix on Sunday😮 wow #byeonwooseok #lovelyrunner

@CitrocityB I absolutely agree with you, which is why I'm saying there may be more to it cos it seems it was blown out of proportion all of a sudden. It's strange. Now if there was a money trail proof of China sponsoring it, that's a different thing, but there isn't

@Jaydeeite I understand the initial criticism of it not reflecting modern sentiments given the history, which production acknowledged. But stretching it to some conspiracy being part of China’s propaganda and calling a historical reenactment as distortion is off the mark.

They can't remove #perfectcrown. It's a successful project abroad and even in korea in terms of data. I hope the petition gets to the signature it needs so they're forced to admit the coronation is historically accurate, the work is fantasy fiction & their critics are illiterate.

@CitrocityB Oh yes they don't, a relic really. I've always been of the belief that art is political. I read countless comments from Knetz explaining their reasons (politically), at the same time I can't help but feel as you said that the outrage may also be political.

@Jaydeeite Yea the traditions are archaic and don’t fit the modern world. Also the royalty is a figurehead to their own government. Relying on the PM for budget like come on. This whole fake outrage is politically driven.

@CitrocityB You know funny enough I didn't even think of this angle. Like you said this is another way to interpret it, him getting rid of it.

it's all fake. like you do not currently have a constitutional monarchy. & very bizarre to claim that a 1 minute scene of crown and chant override 12 hours of content showing an independent korea. Not to mention, wan got rid of all that by the end because he thought it was toxic.

huiju’s reactions evolving in real time

@Neepharr It felt like home, like 4 friends hanging out. I've watched it twice and still see multiple rewatches in my future 🥹

My go to comfort video is IU’s mini-palette🥹 I miss my 2p family so much🥺😭 #perfectcrown

Look at him acting like all his dreams didn't just become true

perfect crown era will always hold a special place in my heart..

this whole convo & prince ian’s confession >>> 🤴🏻“i do like you and it’s my first time. restraint always followed by desire. but it’s not easy this time.. don’t worry, i don’t want you keep bound to me. you should just accept it all. whether it be money, honor or my heart”

wooseok brushing jaeseok’s hand off like ‘HYUNG NOT NOW 😭 i need to explain everything to iu before she thinks i’m LYING’ 😂😂😂

Delainey Hayles: It's hard to believe that Interview with the Vampire is Delainey Hayles' first ever starring role. Her powerful, haunting performance as Claudia firmly holds its own against more established actors Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, and is a performance that needs to be seen to be believed and should place her not only in the awards conversation but at the top of every casting list as well. Next up for Hayles is a supporting role in Mike Flanagan's series adaptation of Carrie, an opportunity she describes as a "pinch me" moment: "On a random Friday I got a letter from Mike Flanagan. No Friday has topped that since."

@CitrocityB Ohhh I'll be all over that variety show. They're sooo hilarious, that's how you know the chemistry is good

😂 I was initially going to pair both videos because the gasps were taking me out. Here’s the other one! Give them a variety show called “Journey of Self Discovery with IU”.

@Neepharr Hahaha I'm glad and thank you so much for indulging me hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

@Jaydeeite Oh🤣🤣🤣 i was almost confused by my own game hahaha😂😂 thank you for giving me a good laugh haha

#PerfectCrown Ep 2 special pre-release!😍 OMG this is really going to be ROMCOM 🤣🤣🤣

wanseong’s matching outfits during promotion era were seriously so cute

@CitrocityB Sigh... They were determined to hate it from the beginning. If it wasn't this, would have been something else. I just hope the actors have their village around them and none of this stuff is affecting them.

@Jaydeeite They did put the disclaimer it’s all fiction for every episode. Still not enough.

The fictional Korea / alternate universe (fantasy) takes place with Joseon Dynasty and its tradition continued as is. The coronation scene is actually historically accurate hence why the product went through hundreds of hands without notice. #perfectcrown m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/1…

@CitrocityB I wonder if it would have helped if they put a disclaimer in each episode saying it's a fictional Korea (but I doubt it would have). I remember Devil Judge did that but then, they didn't have any historical elements.

@Jaydeeite Yup basically. They didn’t see themselves as “vassal states” either but based on the chant and prop that’s what the critics are imposing. But like all 12 hours tell you it’s an independent but fictional Korea.

@CitrocityB Oh yes Bridgerton came to mind in fact way back from the horse scene because of the background music they used in that scene. We also had the Titanic reference with the yacht scene.

More world building info if anyone’s curious: Their biggest external influence was bridgerton, not china. Considering how everyone jumped on to hate #perfectcrown for the dance scene with bridgerton comments I know you all felt that influence. chosun.com/entertainments…

@CitrocityB So the writer basically said what if the Joseon dynasty was devoid of all the external factors from the other countries and the tension was royalty versus commoner, old money versus new money. Oh I understand better now, thank you so much for sharing this.
