What started out with fun and laughter gradually drew me in as this series became more serious as it went along, but it was still light hearted and gave me a warm feeling watching it.
Somewhere along the way it lost its lightness as it became darker and the machinations of the murderous, evil queen reared its ugly head.
…I never did learn just why she hated her younger son so, nor why it took the king so long to see her for the person she really was after she had caused so much heartache and damage..
…..The one type of character I cannot abide is the “noble idiot” which I’m very much afraid our ML became.
I was not only saddened but disgusted with the writer for the ending - he tells his men to drive his love away without him while his second in command wheels him away in his wheelchair.
…..The ending was so abrupt, it was as if the writer said oh heck, I’ve run out of paper, I’ll just have to finish it quick. Not satisfying not happy just a huge let down and terribly, terribly sad.
….He shouldn’t have let his mother cut his Achilles’ tendons, he should have gone straight to the king.

I will never rewatch this drama .
