A Great Drama, Great Male Lead with Touching Ending
I accidentally saw this drama in You Tube and I was infatuated with the charismatic and very handsome Cheng Yi as the ML Prince-Emperor. His acting is superb. He is always cool and gentle but brilliant in execution. The flow of the story is neatly done. The production is excellent and the script is flowing seamlessly. The martial arts actions are very good too.The story is politically complicated and along with all the complications the love of the Emperor to his beloved lady was so consistent. Glad that at the end the Emperor and his Uncle remained faithful to each other and honored each other with dedication. Until the very end the Emperor arranged everything for the good and happiness of his beloved, the FL.
This is another crown to the list of great drama played by the great Cheng Yi.

This is a Sure Classic and will be Remembered as one of All-Time Favorites
This drama is repeatedly appearing as no. 1 in Korea and in Netflix so I was attracted to watch. I was not disappointed at all. The drama is not that long but it is so beautiful. Funny, Romantic, full of political tensions and historical drama but also full of love and tenderness all mixed into one with unity and harmony.The FL being a famous actress is expected to do well and she delivered as expected. She is beautiful and loving and captivating all throughout.
The ML is a revelation. I've read that he was a last minute replacement to the original actor and only got one month of preparation but he delivered an excellent acting as if a seasoned actor of highest caliber. My friend told me that there might be riots in Korea if he will not get the Best Actor award for this role. O gosh, the ML made me cry, laugh and felt in loved with him in short period of time. He showed gentleness and strength, love and anger through his eyes and body actions. He is a gem newly discovered. I wish to see more of him.
The story is so beautiful. Imagine, using cooking as a setting for a great drama and instead of a famous hero like King Jumong they chose a historical tyrant King as protagonist ML. This is very revolutionary and something new but it went so well.
This drama is now listed as one of the best of the best and unforgettable among my list of most beloved drama ever. Im so glad to see the happy ending. Now Im dreaming to cook for my beloved king everyday.
