[Orion's Daily Ramblings] "Black Knight - 2017" Reveals Its Sageuk Side in New Stills and Teaser

"Black Knight - 2017" brings an epic romance and mysterious characters with its new promotional material, as we get a beautiful look at Kim Rae-won and Shin Se-kyung in their sageuk outfits as well as a sneak peek into the drama's two other leading ladies. Seo Ji-hye's Sharon is looking very femme fatale and pretty good for 200 years old. She is only matched by Chang Mi-hee's Baek-hee, who has been living for 250 and is looking ready to unleash hurt upon people. The two ladies are connected, so I pity their common past and present enemies.

The two main characters don't just simply meet and fall in love in the present day, you see. Dramaland romance sometimes can't handle natural progression and the childhood sweethearts trope is already not trendy enough anymore, so now our leads get to meet in past lives and have romances spanning over several centuries. Give Dramaland enough time and soon every OTP will be romancing each other as fine dust particles after the Big Bang.

My dislike of the trope aside, who could deny just how absolutely stunning this drama and its cast are looking? Every piece of photo or video that has come out showcases a beautiful palette and breath-taking cinematography. Pretty does not equal good, for sure, but if the story of this series is solid, then it might just end up being a feast for the senses. You can enjoy all the gorgeous new stills below and take a look at the third teaser showing a glimpse of the drama's sageuk segments.
