Pilar F @matildebon Mar 9 The best korean historical drama See more Mary F @RT14233412 02/21/2025 Cha Eunwoo delivers a captivating and nuanced performance in Rookie Historian Goo Haeryung, perfectly embodying the role of Prince Dowon. He brings charm, depth, and emotional sincerity to his character, making his journey from an isolated prince to a determined and passionate writer incredibly compelling. His chemistry with Shin Se Kyung is delightful, adding warmth and authenticity to their evolving relationship. With his expressive acting and natural elegance, Cha Eunwoo brings Prince Dowon to life in a way that is both heartfelt and unforgettable, making Rookie Historian Goo Haeryung a must-watch historical drama. See more Phil H @RT20674666 10/30/2023 I really liked the story, although the ending was very disappointing See more Sue @RT44087313 07/13/2023 Man, these writers build you up then take you down (pull the rug beneath you) and go against all the principles and romance building they presented in earlier episodes. When will the writers get it? Viewers Do Not get tired of seeing things go right and happy endings. And development (depth) of characters are most important. Why? Because the reality is - viewers don't have mentors; there are few people viewers can aspire too in real life … seriously at an all time low… Definitely have to look back in history. Rookie Historian is a great series - Min, Eunuch Heo, Royal Highness Jin, and the Queen were excellent in their roles. (very entertaining and a great escape until episodes 15-16). SKDrama please keep doing what you do best - presenting these great escapes from an amoral society.

See more 01/20/2022 First and more important, I vow to screenplay writer Kim Ho-soo. Congratulations for such a great story. I enjoyed k-drama Rookie Historian Gu Hae-ryung to the fullest. I have seen it twice. I absolutely adore Prince Yi Rim(Cha Eun-woo) and Goo Hae-ryung(Cha Eun-woo) they are as beautiful together as Barbie and Ken :) With due respect in a cute way, sometimes Prince Yi Rim reminded me of Mr.Bean. Iol The entire cast delivered a perfect performance, but I have my favorites, My number one is Eunuch Heo Sam-bo (Sung Ji-ru ) my goodness! He is an amazing actor. He made me laugh so hard to the point that I couldn't breathe. His face expressions were uniquely inimitable. Second I wanted to see more of Seol-Geum(Yang Jo-a) she cracks me up every time. She's a great comedian and actress. And last but not least, Officer Yang from the office of Royal Decrees, he and his team of Historians were hilarious. They made a great team. I was hoping to see officer Min smile. xox Hats off the whole cast xox See more Read all reviews
