so well, should I continue watching Once Upon a Time?

I can't make up my mind :/

Crossposts: http://etrangere.livejournal.com/418724.html

Finished watching the second part of Dae Jang Geum, in which Jang Geum trains up as a doctor in order to get back to the palace and get revenge. The show kept up being very good story-wise without being annoying repetitive or overly stretched despite length, a bit stock character-wise, and mostly very entertaining and enjoyable. It was perhaps even more riveting story wise despite the loss of food preparation porn XD and while it did feel some of the ending was just a little bit too pat, well I guess it overall fit the mood of the story, as a pretty upbeat girl goes and is awesome thanks to hardword and willpower and also the power of friendship and the support of her perfect boyfriend. Not that it hurts that she's also very, very smart and inquisitive.

Much like with Hwang Jin Yi, one of the thing I really appreciated was being in a story centered on female characters and female relationships, from friendships to rivalry to mentorship and patronship, as well as women seeking self realisation and fulfilling their own ambition. There's just something very refreshing to that that even with how much feminism criticism one does, one does not really realise before one gets a counter example.

Not sure which drama to watch next. Emperor of the sea perhaps?
