The story is so not light themed as at first hinted! It's about womens' dreams in an era that women were things, not humans. It's not a historical representation, obviously(and woe to those who take it a face value), but it's a cleverly told story of different aspects of love in such a way that you can't help but root for all the main CP characters. And they don't all get a HE according to kdrama logic. Some are happier alone. There are some loose ends I would have liked tied(eg. What happened to the Empress' brother?Did the scum prince pay for his crimes in the end?) but it's ok. It's not a heavily political or representational drama, but it definitely conveys the message it should: Live your dream and fight on!
