Defeated Queen: Rocking my world since... 12 days ago!

[uisceros]

Holy crap! The subbing is going REALLY fast for My Queen episode 10!! I can't wait to get home tonight to watch it... again (but this time, actually FULLY UNDERSTAND it!)

I honestly have no idea why this drama isn't more popular. It's SO GOOD, and it's leading the ratings in Taiwan by a hugely significant margin. Not that ratings mean much of anything of course, but you'd think a popular show like that would translate overseas...

It's kinda sad that when I search for "Defeated Queen drama" on google, my blog is one of the first listed. (Weirdly before the Asianfanatics thread)

It's dramas like this that not only reaffirm by intense love of twdramas, they also remind me of why I love dramas to begin with. A lot of the times twdramas are silly and hugely overacted (part of the appeal, I say!), but sometimes they get things amazingly right, where everything falls into place, and you can't help but be sucked in to the awesomeness. The acting in this drama is particularly amazing. Cheryl is fabulous. FAB-U-LOUS. Ethan is pretty damn good as well (though overshadowed by the goddess that is Cheryl Yang).

Taiwan, you rock my world.

*sigh* I suppose I should do some actual work now instead of incessantly googling My Queen to find juicy spoilers/tidbits.

I totally cannot contain my love for this drama.

I finally give up - I must watch this "Defeated Queen" ASAP. WHere do you get subs/episodes from (if this is fine to ask).

I find that high-rated Korean and Japanese dramas always worked well for me, without any exception (well, apart from longer over 30 episodes Korean dramas that seem to be loved by Korean ratings. I can't watch anything as long to save my life). I more often find that my tastes are at odds with the on-line fandom, though not every time.

Yay! It's REALLY a good show, hopefully you won't be disappointed! Watch it, and share your views! I only know one other person (seven_trees) who's watching it, but she agrees that it's amazing!

It's still airing, so I watch them streaming at viikii. The episodes are here. Intangible Fansubs has 1-4 subbed already. You can find those here.

I haven't really paid attention to ratings in the past, but I DO know this drama is leading the ratings in Taiwan for sunday night against some other big dramas like Superstar Express.

I think my tastes are a little at odds with the fandom's as well. I tend to like most everything, but really love the ones that most people don't love. And I'm STILL loving Boys Before Flowers, fandom be damned!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also still like BoF!!

If you see the results from ambergold's poll and the poll I did in dorama_chat (here: http://community.livejournal.com/dorama_chat/337394.html#cutid1 and here: http://community.livejournal.com/hydkorea/306790.html ) you would see that Jun Pyo and the rest are doing pretty well, I think it must be the corner of the fandom I happened to be that doesn't like him!

No problem! It's such a great show, more people should be watching it!

I'm in that corner of the fandom as well, because I think you're the only person on my flist who's still enjoying it! I'm happy about the polls though! Us BBF supporters may not be as vocal, but we have larger numbers ;P
