Loved it :D It was beautiful and made me go through a roller coaster ride of emotions.It wasn't perfect though, as I did fast forward some episodes as at times it made me feel frustrated. However I went back to continue it, I was curious to see what will happen next. Anyway, I loved it :D
I also loved all the actors, their characters and their awesome acting :D I loved how their crying was so realistic, most of them got red eyes in the crying scenes, I rarely see that.
Also, I liked the ending :)
You can say this story was light from the usual historical dramas. Yes ok, there were many deaths, many bad stuff, etc. But from the usual historical k-dramas I watched, this one was pretty light.
For the main characters:
-I loved Solnan. She reminded me of Mulan. She did everything for her family, literally, especially for her sister Solhi.
We got to see Solnan change from an innocent child to a mature woman. She went through a lot. She's also mentally strong and witty.
I mostly loved her wit, her keen sight to things, her strong mind, etc and how she was able to keep sane, caring and loving.
-For the King Mu Ryeong. It was the first time I saw a King like this. Actually, he is one of the best Kings I ever saw. For once, he is not greedy or crazy, but truly wants the best for his people and for his country at the expense of hurting himself and his family.
Also, he was humble, knew his strengths, his weaknesses, his sins, his rights, his wrong doings, etc. Ok he wasn't perfect, but I loved how he knew that but did his best to rule in a good way.
-For the Crown Prince. He was a jerk to Solnan in the beginning and hated him when he used her as an object. However, as time when by, thanks to Solnan, he softened and began to cherish people. Ok he did that to please the King, but still he was too cold in the beginning. Anyway, when he finally saw Solnan as a woman, he changed a lot and I liked how he cared and treated Solnan well.
For the romance part between the leads, they were cute and we saw some cute kiss scenes and their chemistry was not out of this world, but it was ok. I found them cute togther :)
-For Solhi, I hated her. She was really ugly, greedy, selfish, murderer, jealous, etc. She did everything to get what she wanted, to keep her position as princess.
-For Jinmu, he was evil sometimes, but he wasn't truly that evil. Yeah he did lots of gave mistakes, but most of the time, he did not mean them. I really pitied him.
Conclusion:
Definitely worth watching it :) It is long and I did fast forward some parts, but I loved it :D It took me a lot time to watch this drama, but I'm glad I finally did ^_^

I'm your father
It's the usually daily format so temper your expectations accordingly before proceeding any further. Both Seo Hyun Jin and her character contributed a lot to the drama to keep it decent enough. Her interactions were the most memorable. On the other hand, the writer robbed off Seo Woo from making her a decent character, writing wise. Meanwhile, Jo Hyun Jae was as static as always throughout his entire career, the man would rather die than changing his expression. There's no justification for the long runtime other than they were contractually obligated to follow the template dedicated to this time slot. At least give the high moments more time to sink in. Especially the ending, there was no need to make it this short, they had the time to take a more relaxed approach.Was this review helpful to you?

Masterpiece
It's not everyday where you find a drama this well made the main characters are truly likeable and close to the heart, FL is a strong woman that also values family above all. This drama is about obsession, family plus the love in here isn't abrubt or out of nowhere it builds up slowly I just really really loved it!! I wish sk would make more of these type of dramas rather than youth historical dramas with bad cheap clothing made out of polyester. Anyway this drama is very intriguing and not predictable where people will eventually get what they deserve in good and bad. Highly recommend I have rewatched it countless times and still not bored of it it's on my list of best historicals ever made along with Empress ki, the legend, princess manWas this review helpful to you?
The beginning was ok… but the rest is Fire, Poison, Love, Passion, Determination, Tension
The first episodes dragged a whole lot that I though I won’t be able to stick to it. But I was all-in for Seo Hyun Jin and I persisted.And this wait was awarded.
At some part of the story I was so invested that the tears suddenly flowed... then, I knew that I was deep in
There were so many hurdles at first; I though the male leads were unattractive, which could have been another turn off for me, but everything else was so good that it didn’t matter at all.
It was a Love-Hate between me and the characters, and between the characters themselves.
Undeniable chemistry in both couples.
It goes by fast.
You want it to happen, and you don’t at the same time.
You want more, and you want things to stay as it is.
It is a story that makes you breath hard.
Blurred lines between good and bad.
Interesting history.
It took me long to warm up, however, it ended up becoming very hot.
Suddenly, I was watching non-stop.

Crown Prince is like a bull in a china shop ... zero emotional control.
My only complaint is that I find the Crown Prince very bossy, selfish and demanding as a boyfriend. I could not put up with him whether he was the prince or the king.It's not really a criticism of the show, but I'm very independent and would never stand for a man telling me what to do, and making rules for me to follow. It would get on my last nerve. I think a different actor might have pulled it off better (less heavy-handedly?), but this guy set off my toxicity alarms pretty early on. I preferred both the Kimun king, and the King's real son to the Crown Prince. Just an opinion.
I wonder if anyone else got that 'distastefully clingy' vibe from him ... or is it just me?

História longa e envolvente
O que dizer sobre essa história? Deixei todas as minhas lágrimas restantes durante os episódios. Final muito bonito, todas as pontas foram preenchidas. Foi muito bom ver que não mataram os personagens apenas para finalizar sua trama, cada personagem teve um crescimento significativo e aprendeu com os próprios erros. Por algum motivo, as cenas no campo faziam cosquinhas no meu coração, eu amei cada momento dessas cenas!A história se prolongou muito (inicialmente ela teria 120 episódios), mas não acho que foi tão desnecessário, muita coisa ocorreu nesse meio tempo. Não virou um drama favorito, porém amei acompanhar toda a história e não me arrependi nem um pouco de tirar umas horinhas para assistir.
Comecei o drama por causa da seol hee, durante os episódios passei a odiá-la, e por fim, terminei satisfeita com sua evolução! Me apeguei tanto em goo cheon e chae hwa, foi um tópico sensível..
Sou muito apaixonada por dramas históricos que terminam com essa melancolia, como uma despedida leve de quem está indo.
Ao todo, fiquei muito satisfeita! Sem triângulos amorosos para estragar todo o desenvolvimento, personagens humanizados que aprendem com seus erros, história coerente e com enredo muito envolvente. Apesar de suas pequenas falhas, é um dos poucos dramas longos que sinto que valeu a pena cada prolongamento ksksksks
OBS: Os atores deram um show de atuação, acho que isso tornou tudo mais profundo e sensível.

Исторически я несколько удивлена выбором времени повествования, потому что в 6 веке в корейских землях не было особо "ярко". Время было мирное, Когурё и Пэкче вяло проводили войнушку, раз в пять лет, а в основном, мерялись титулами "собирателей земель, великая держава, всея всего" и т.д. и тому подобное. Вот и прозевали, что под боком укрепилась третья сила - царство Силла. Но ни при короле Мурёне, о котором и идет речь в дораме.
Поэтому выбор жанра мелодрама в этом сагыке вполне обосновано. История только гвоздь, на котором и вешали сюжет, а исторические личности весьма условно имели задником, то что когда-то было.
По актерам ничего плохого сказать не могу, старшее поколение как всегда великолепно, рассмотрела Со Хён Джин , а ведь в "Температуре любви" она мне совсем не зашла. Со У как всегда отлично играет и страшна, аки... Мужики пролетели мимо, хотя телохранители мне приглянулись и Юн Тхэ Ёна была рада после "4-х стражей", зрелость ему идет. И очень печально было узнать про брата Ха Джи Вон.
