Commentary

The hidden love line in "Gyebaek" had the attention of viewers.

MBC TV drama "Gyebaek" on the 25th revealed the relationship of Moo-wang (Choi Jong-hwan), Satek-bi (Oh Yeon-soo) and Moo-jin (Cha In-pyo) from the past.

Before Moo-jin dies under false accusations by falling into Satek-bi's plan as the bodyguard of Queen Seon-hwa (Sin Eun-jeong) and young prince Euija (Choi Won-hong), he is a character that will make a close escape and goes in hiding.

Asking to meet him at a late night, Satek-bi said, "We have been meeting like this for ten years but nothing has changed about you" trying to bring out the emotions from the past. However, Moo-jin drew the line saying, "What are you talking about?"

However, Satek-bi said, "I have been anticipating all this while. You're bluntness has not changed as well" and mentioned their past relationship. Despite the fact that Moo-jin coldly said, "If you are going to argue about minor things from the past I will leave", she suggested him coming into the palace where she lived, "I know you're going through a hard time trying to protect the Queen and the prince".

She said, "I am saying this out of our past. I don't' know if you've forgotten everything but I haven't. You're the one person I gave my heart to" and we could see that they were lovers in the past.

Netizen's say, "I can't wait for the love line. It's sad Cha In-pyo is only going to be here 3 weeks", "I am inspired!", "Satek-bi is a dangerous character who will use and kill love for her passion" and more.

Brief Synopsis

This korean drama was produced to highlight on how noble values championed by General Gyebaek of the Baekje kingdom last much longer than the battle cheers of the victors in history. There is no intention to make this a period drama that glorifies Baekje. Nor is it correct to assume that this TV show intends to rewrite Baekje's history. But for a kingdom that lasted for 680 years, it is time to address the falsehoods that Baekje collapsed due to a tyrant ruler who purportedly was a drunk. There should be a comprehensive look at how Baekje was surrounded by encroaching kingdoms that formed alliances to the detriment of Baekje.
