This drama is insanely well-written and made, rarely you see a historical drama with the 12-16 number episodes that its main focus is the intense battle between the characters, because most of the time only the long ones that focus on all ends from politics, fights, power struggles, romance etc.

but this drama has it all from political tensions to Power struggles with a passion and yearning love that being tested throughout the story

The writer park pil joo is what impresses me most because his only focus before writing bloody heart was only romance+family dramas with many melodrama elements in it

his comeback with a historical story that focuses on the intense back and forth between the characters away from his usual writing is really interesting
and I am looking forward to his future works

I think there are 4 main roles here not three as suggested up there
The King(lee joon) , Lady park(kang han na) ,minister park(jang hyuk) (Queen dowager(park ji yeon)
these four played their roles too well that sometimes I feel it’s too real to be considered acting especially park ji yeon

we urge korean writers to step up and write more historical 12-16 episodes like this one
