since I got sick I've been watching way more tv than usual and in conclusion if I ever come across a Korean puppet king listening to his courtiers wailing JEOnHHHHa no don't do it JEOnHHHHHA please calm down JEONHHHHHHa and he responds by poisoning his entire court and letting the revolution come explicitly not for any principled reason but just to make them stop I will pledge my fealty through the tv screen I will transmigrate to serve him and die by his side that's my guy!! my man, right or wrong. he can put his son in a box, as a treat.

#i believe it was Mencius who said shut up shut up shut up #i love historical fiction so much!#and I think it's especially enjoyable when you feel like crap and can't really bring yourself to do much else #the specific tone that Sageuk actors use to wail jeonha/mama is PRECISE it is weaponized #it is very deliberately engineered to make the viewer understand that anyone listening to it will be instantly and desperately motivated to #make it stop #historically accurate? i have no idea #as a dramatic technique... unparalleled
