Totally agree with your review, I’m glad you explained the high ratings, I could not believe all the 9s and 10s. My rating is 3.0 all for Ji Sung. Finale meant NOTHING motivation for Yo Han’s revenge disappeared . What stupid writing expecting us to leave our brains at the door.
TOTALLY AGREE with your review. I cannot believe all the high ratings. And I watched all 16 episodes. The finale was a travesty of unbelievable plot points and bad writing.

Aww, thank you! and ahaha, I was considering on adding my personal feeling but I feel like it might not be too…
Thank you for your response! Some of those side characters do get more irritating as the story goes on. I felt for the crown prince when he lost his best friend, but now I am over his whining. Actually I was hoping for a BL , is this based on a novel? The princess is totally self centered in her motivations and does not consider the consequences (like getting his best friend killed) I like Prince Han and 2nd ML Prince Zhou. I have a little bit of 2nd lead syndrome, but one of the main reasons I am watching is for Xu Kai so that would be disloyal. But I hope King Zhou doesn't turn to evil deeds to get Fu Rou.
Since you mention the multiple deaths , I am very curious (thank for not telling me) for which characters. I am thinking Fu Rou's sister, she's playing a dangerous game or Lu Ying Ying, marrying Prince Liang :(. I want to see her with Fu Yin. I love the romance between Princess Xin Nan and Shuumu's brother, i hope that works out. Killing Prince Liang, the Crown Princess and Lu Yunji would be the most ideal for me.
I am going to try my best to start up again. There are just so many good kDramas I am watching right now. For me, there are also no historical Chinese drama that has caught my attention . I tried watching No Boundary, The long Ballad and a couple others but dropped them.
And fast forwarding is not a good option. All that time I spent watching the different political intrigues, I don't want to have to go back to see what I missed. Let's hope we both make it through to the end. I have 33 hours in and you 46. Let's hope the end makes it worth it!
Thank you for this great article, explaining the great number of characters. It gets confusing. I was really invested all the way up to Episode 30 the romance being my favorite part but I was also enjoying the intricate political intrigues and side romances and how they all intertwined and how it affected our main couple. I paused at Episode 33 and have not come back. Your article does not tell your personal feelings in continuing this drama. Do you recommend that I pick it up again and finish it?
Wow! I am impressed!!! Do you have other articles written by both or one of you for other historical dramas? Would love to read all of them. Especially for those dramas I have already watched.
"My name is Shin Deokchul. I have Alzheimer's"Even though I knew this was coming, it didn't help me to feel any…
Yes it is way too late for us to opt out. We are so heavily invested, kudos to the writer. I had no clue this was coming and I am so glad they did not put it in the synopsis. To be honest I am not sure I would have watched. this. But I am so glad I did, one of the most beautiful drama stories I've ever watched.
Episode 9. Can you please put a spoiler tag
