I had to swallow the fact that the storyline was congested into 11 episodes drama only. Hence, I prepared myself and expected cuts in the storyline.

The story is honestly one of the best released for a k-period drama this year but it wasn’t executed well because of tight episodes. Actors were great—emotions were delivered well. I read some reviews, confused when did the romance bloomed? For Hongrang/Jaewook, it was when Jae-I told him whether he is the real or not, she hopes he won’t get hurt. After years of living, no one had actually gave him this kind of affection. For Jae-I, I believe there should be more episodes to unravel her emotions. But at one point, she stated how she feels these emotions towards Hongrang, whether he’s an impostor or not. I think that’s the start of her confusion. Then add the after marriage scene where Hongrang saved her, then kissed her while she was half awake. It’s actually easy to understand why they fell in love, but I just hope we had more episodes (as someone who likes slow burn period dramas).

Cinematography, camera works, action-scenes, battles, location, and everything else? It’s such a sweet candy for the eyes. Everything was perfect for me. As expected to the actors, they can execute everything well. It’s just that, why did the production turned it into a mini series?

All in all, I liked it and finished the series in one sitting.
