Great 1st half, and bad 2nd half with a dumb female lead!
Honestly, I would ban the writers to make more shows, because it's madness what she did with this show in the second half!
The story is nothing special, just the usual sageuk drama with one of the worst written love triangle. I don't understand why it was necessary, but if you want to include it in your show, at least do it right.
Eun San, never says anything, they never make it obvious who she loves, it's just a pure guessing game. The first 10 episodes is basically telling you that she likes the prince, then after a random episode, she loves the other guy.
The show is basically about 3 idiots who never experienced love, and they don't know what to do. My biggest problem is that both the prince and the second male lead told her how they feel, but she never said anything, till the finale.
She told the prince, he's the reason she started to feel something again, and she liked him. Yet, she's ending up with the other guy. This is just lazy writing again, because she knows how the guys feel about her, she even acknowledges it, and want to leave, so they can remain friends, but no, it didn't happen, so they basically became enemies, and what's worse the real enemies are even dumber than the female lead, and in the end nothing that happened matters.
They solved everything so easily, and if I'm being honest, I'm not sure if she actually chose the other guy. I swear she's with him, because the king asked her to do it, because someone need to protect him after the incident.
To be honest, I don't think the chemistry was good with any of the guys. With the prince, it was more of a kid romance with childish fights, like real friends, and it turned into real after she found out who he is.
With the other guy, it was a typical let's be sad together romance.
Also, that kiss scene was just messed up, and we have never seen how she actually reacted to that, because at first she wanted to push him away, and he literally forced her. That wasn't a real kiss, and people called the prince toxic because he wanted to lock her up? Sure, that's also a red flag, but let's be real, our main girl played with the guys like toys.
With a better writer, this could've been so much better. It's so weird to talk about the romance alone, but the rest wasn't interesting at all.
