How did they win the Best Couple Award ??? Just felt like they rushed everything to finish the drama
At first, the love part of the story starts a little bit like a comedy with a strong personality and an "independent" woman. (depending on her position on the palace)I could cut the drama into two different parts :
- Episode 1 to 12 - the rhythm of the story is pretty good suspense, love story, tension,… (I Liked this part)
- Episode 13 to 17 - I just felt like they rushed everything to finish the drama in 4 episodes. The love story part felt repetitive ("I love you and you" "I don't want to love you"…)
In just 2 last episodes they :
- sleep together
- had a son
- lost their son from illness after 4 years
- a friend of Deok-Im died
- Deok-Im was pregnant from another child
- King Jeongjo had been sick
- Deok-Im had been sick
- Deok-Im died
- King Jeongjo keep being the king
- King Jeongjo refuse another concubine
- King Jeongjo forget about Deok-Im
- King Jeongjo recruit the son of Deok-Im's brother in his guard
- ………
That's why I feel like they rushed everything to finish the drama.
That doesn't mean I didn't cry as fck at the end or didn't like the drama but I was left hungry.
Sung Deok-Im, was supposed to be a strong-minded character so why did she not express ANYTHING ???
How did they win the Best Couple Award ??? I was crying so much just because I feel like Sung Deok-Im is unhappy in this relationship… it feels like she is just a beautiful bird that King Jeongjo but in a golden cage 😭😭😭
Doesn't he care about how she feels? Saying "You're mine… you're mine" all the time 😭 Yes, she's yours but you're not hers… that's killing me…

Breath Catching Stories
This drama is insanely beautiful. I think everyone can relate to the stories you hear about in this drama.The acting is realistic, the story made me cry from sadness to happiness. This is just a drama about life and even if you have some unrealistic death stories on it, everyone can relate to this moment you lost someone you love and you are looking for answers or memories in their clothes or in their other stuff.
In my point of view, if I cry for a drama tv show, then that's means, it's a good one.

Crying from episode 1 to episode 16
This drama is not just about romance. Throw South Korean history you follow people lives.From sadness to happiness.... I just cried
UI and Park Bo Gum are especially good at acting; I'm always shocked.
The story is good and well-balanced, not too long to watch, and easy to understand.
The OST is perfectly adapted to the mood.
Everyone can get touched by anything about this drama: parenthood, being a child, loving, friendship,...

Positively old school
It is so good to see a drama with adults, a good rhythm not boring, and I loved the independent woman and the protective dad character so much.This drama makes me want to forget all about it and watch it again.
Moreover, the OST is perfect.
I've laughed, cried, and been so excited about this couple.
This drama is not about a bit of plot twisted but it's just a cute and "normal" working couple. Seem similar to something in the rain. LOVE IT
