From ep 1 to 16 to 10 out of 10, then the logic left the chat and it went really so-so, but the last 5 ep were speed running a whole other show. The clothes, the location, the actors, the OST are really pretty, the main couple looks really good, i didn't know that in the drama they had a 12+ age gap, however they look good together. Too bad the plot went so bad, it is full of errors and without logic. Writers create problems and then, since they don't know how to fix them, they simply kill off the characters. For me 7.5 out 10.

The drama has all the elements of a typical Korean drama that many people would be interested in watching: a good OST, popular actors, good set design, an interesting theme, and a marriage of convenience. The episodes are enjoyable, and this is the kind of drama I think of when people ask me why I watch K-dramas.

Now, aside from all the good points, I have many complaints about the plot of each episode and some of the dialogue. I won't describe them in detail because it would be too much to write about each episode. But there are many empty dialogues that don't make any sense and repeat the same thing over and over, whether it's with the scandals or the fires. Fires break out all the time in the palace (at least three are shown in the drama), and they don't have a fire suppression system and put them out with buckets of water? Hahaha. Anyway, I also think about some mistakes. For example, when the prince went to meet his father-in-law, why was Hui Ju's father at the head of the table? In a political system where there's a prince and everyone else is just ordinary people, rank is always respected. Then, on another occasion, the prince puts the contract in the safe. Later, they show the queen giving the contract to Prime Minister Min. BUT, in the last episode, they imply that the one who has the other thing that was in the safe (the previous king's order to hand over power to his younger brother) is Minister Min. How is that possible? Did everyone have access to the prince's safe?

On the other hand, I think the supporting actors overshadowed the main ones in some parts, especially BWS. Most of his scenes are good, but he really can't act angry. His face is always still, and his mouth has a constant smiling expression, so I can't take him seriously in those scenes. The child actor playing the king did an excellent job for someone so young. The assistants gave us a better kiss than the main couple. The villains were impeccable, it's a shame they sidelined the queen's role so much; I would have liked her to have more power.

The main problem the drama raises about the existence of a monarchy in modern Korea is only superficially addressed. They never show inequality, only inequality between the wealthy without titles and the wealthy with royal titles. Then they tackle political issues that they didn't address throughout the rest of the drama, and everything flows smoothly, when in political dramas nothing flows smoothly. I think they should have focused more on romance than politics in this part.

Anyway, I watched the drama from beginning to end. It was easy to watch, and overall I liked it and recommend it, with a few minor reservations. 8 out of 10

I also care, but since we can't do anything anyway =') Anyways the drama is so funny, i liked so far

Only 2 episodes are out and is rated 7.7 by 488 persons. You know how lately i have seen all the korean dramas rated low while all the chinese dramas are rated high, i wish there was a a way to control those fake numbers, but well, no one cares anyway.

I think is after the talk, is like final final.

Choi Hui Su had told her she was tired of her life and that one day she would give Myo Jin a gift. They didn't use knives at HS's house, but coincidentally, there was a knife next to her before the murder—the same knife MJ took and used to kill HS. Now, in my opinion, HS already knew who MJ was, which is why she showed her the videos from the past, specifically those with MJ's parents. Perhaps she didn't think she was going to be killed, but she actually orchestrated the situation to help MJ with her revenge. So, in the end, MJ realized all of this: it was HS who helped her with her revenge.

Oh hello, even from the day 1 this drama was realeased already had that rating (7.2 at that moment) with 132 ratings, so the rating is just a bunch of haters and bots. I swear how can you rate something with only one episode on air? So don't believe in the rating

I enjoyed it; it kept me entertained from beginning to end. The actors were fantastic and did a great job. Every scene felt polished in terms of acting, and even characters with limited screen time, like Ahn Nae Sang and Yoon Se Ah, delivered excellent performances. The suspense was just right—not too much, not too little—although you can guess where the story is headed from episode 2 or 3. On the other hand, I think the story suffered a bit from the editing, especially in episodes 5 through 7, but particularly in episode 6. Some parts are very noticeably cut. It's clear they filmed more than they could fit into the 8 episodes. I wish they had made 10 episodes, but oh well, it is what it is.
Overall, 8.5 out of 10.

The drama is entertaining, the situations are sometimes very predictable and some things don't make sense, but if you want to have a fun time without having to worry, this is a good drama. That said, it's visually stunning; everyone is gorgeous. I loved the cinematography, the photography, and the OST. 8 out of 10.

It's worth watching; the actors did a great job, some plot holes here and there. 7.5 out of 10

There were many things I liked about the drama: the scenery and cinematography, the town, the main theme of self-discovery and self-improvement, the OST, and the actors.
There were also some specific things that bothered me: Bang Eun Ju never paid for all the bad things she did, nor did her mother, who had assaulted CSD. The scandals were too big, and she was just a photographer, not a celebrity, so it felt very unrealistic (I know it's a drama, but it was too much). Aside from those specific things, I think the pacing was very slow; the same thing happened many times. Also, the main couple felt more like friends than lovers.
Overall, I liked it more. 8.5/10
By the way this drama looked like Hometown ChaChaCha and Our Blues had a baby and is this drama LOL

It was very entertaining, i liked the actors and the pace of the drama. It wasn't that great, just OK. 8 out 10 for me

The drama has a very interesting plot that makes you wonder what's going on, and it keeps you wondering for almost the entire drama, at least for about 22 episodes. I didn't like the ending of the first story arc; I thought it was a bit wrong that people died right under everyone's noses. The second arc was the best; it answered many questions and seemed to me the best-developed of the three. I think the third arc was the worst. As a fan of time-travel dramas, I had no idea this drama dealt with that theme, but I think the editing ruined the story. She went back in time 26 or 27 times, and with so many possibilities, she never asked her sister for help. She only asked Ji Ling for help to use it. Well, I didn't like that part, especially since the repetition cycles weren't shown, the were just 'flashbacks'. The ending was okay, but perhaps there was another way out.
I really liked the chemistry between the couples. I liked that the story is different, and you really can't guess what's going to happen. The costumes were very nice, and the locations were mostly beautiful, but the cinematography didn't do them justice. There were too many close-ups, and the CGI of the sky, in particular, looked very fake. The actors were all very handsome; at some point, the tears looked very fake, but then it was fine. The music was nice, but they overused it, which I've noticed in almost every Chinese drama I've watched this year.
Overall, what I liked most was the plot, and what I disliked most was the number of unnecessary deaths that then "didn't happen?" or did they?
Anyway, it's worth watching; for me, it's an 8.5 out of 10.

Seeing all the recent positive reviews, I feel a bit like a villain, but I have many complaints about the drama's narrative development and obvious flaws (this is the fault of the writers and director). However, I'll just mention the things I liked: 1. Obviously, the actors, and not just the main couple, but seeing so many actors I've seen in other dramas who did a great job. 2. The main storyline answered most of the questions raised. 3. The official ending was good; the ending of episode 41 was a bit cliché, but it was still good. 4. The costumes and locations were beautiful. 5. It's not the typical story that's so often repeated in costume dramas.
If you're a fan of angst dramas, you'll definitely enjoy it. For me, it's an 8 out of 10.

And yes i put this drama on hold for a month, meanwhile i watched other 2 long dramas and 3 or 4 short ones, but i finally watched the whole drama, in the edits in Twitter looks better with all the skinship, kisses and stuff, but in the drama the chemistry is average and is not centered in the love story, so i kind of forced myself to finish but since the last 10 episodes are interesting i forgot about that.

It tries to be a 'complicated' story, but they don't develop it with scenes; the characters simply explain what happened, and at least 20% of the drama is spent on that. The story is predictable, and the characters aren't very likable. The supposedly strong FL isn't really strong, and she spends two-thirds of the drama not knowing what she wants, which is why she has the SML at her beck and call. The ML is very manipulative; he decided to drag the FL into his revenge from episode 2, constantly using and manipulating her. From episode 23 (when they go to look for the brothers in the mountains) or thereabouts, the story gets much more interesting. The older characters are much more interesting, as is the previous generation. Keeping the hooded man a secret wasn't necessary; it's known from episode 3 or 4. I don't know why all the mystery was there. The clothes are ugly, but the sets and locations are very beautiful. I liked the ending the last 7 minutes, but not so much the story's development. They also cut out many scenes I would have liked to see because they were like story climaxes, especially battles, and then they just recounted what happened instead of showing it. 7 out of 10 for me

Great cast, but i really disliked the plot and the characters were kind of annoying and over the top, i spent three months trying to watch this drama only finished because i liked the actors and the action scenes were well made, but uff. 7 out 10

Eh, the first 16 episodes i tought this was going to be the drama of the year, but then in episode 18 it went like really bad, after that the drama switch over and over, like first 17 episodes is a 10 out of 10, from 18 to 26 is really weird just suffering, from 26 to 30 is good again, from 30 to 40 is weird again but with some great parts, the other life scene at the end is the weirdest thing of all.
I got a lot of things to say: 1. I give this drama a 9 out 10, i loved the cast, the main plot and the subplots, the music, the cinematography, the OST.
2. All the couples had really good chemestry even the two kids.
3. I loved that is not a typical plot and also that had some good comedy in it.
4. It held my interest for almost the entire drama
Now on the other hand:
5. Scenes that seemed to be quite important to the plot were cut, like a ton of them, Instead, they just explain what happened afterward, but I've seen this a lot lately in Chinese costume dramas. The same thing happens in Generation to Generation, and for me, as someone who's very focused on the story the drama tells, it really bothers me when they don't develop the scene, especially if they're important, they cut and just describe what happened, but they never actually show it. So i blame the directors for this.
6. Some errors like in the Dam, the said that they need half of the people but those persons were killed and still the they blew up the dam, like how? Couldn't just leave all the people there leave and live? Or when Chang Yu said to Qian Qian that they were going to back to Lin An and the next scene is Qian Qian behind the emperor, i think maybe is a edition problem
7. The ending was weird, it's ok but not good, the Chang Yu's hallucination of seeing all the dead people welcoming her back in Lin An made me think she had only returned after everyone had died, but no, it was just that scene.
8. I'm sad that she didn't kill pigs (the animals not the persons) at the end.
Anyways is really worth watching for many reasons.

Better than some long dramas ;)

Thank you for your answer =)
