It's an interesting drama - very different from the usual kdrama formats and really engaging/funny in parts. Some parts (the mythology/past) are quite draggy though. It could have been made tighter, but overall it's still a fun binge watch with some small amounts of fast forwarding and it's definitely a 8-8.2/10. Glad I gave it a shot despite the reviews.
also I'm a personal fan of the scene where they're sitting under the tree ---- it was truly beautiful ---- it…
A king from my country became king at age 17, but luckily he ended up ruling for decades, became very mature and left a lasting legacy. I bet he did lots of stupid stuff as a teenager that noone knows about. The trouble is, the real life king Yi Heon is based on became king at 19 and died pretty young as well. He had no time to correct his mistakes, earn wisdom or leave a legacy.
SPOILER REQUEST:This was on my mental "To be watched list" but I just read a review explaining the drama…
It's a very heavy drama, as a warning. It has themes of domestic violence and lots of bad things happen to the leads. You will cry a lot. But I would call it a happy ending (kind of).
can someone please enlighten me (ep 11 spoiler)first of all old Xun was supposed to be in his early 50s right?…
Also, from the flashback we know that her mom is already dead and she sees the body at the beach. So why was she surprised with her father's admission in the last episode?
Off to order some Sichuan food.
