Mismatched cast
Is it just me or did anyone else find that the Left Councilor spoke in a very odd intonation? I’ve watched quite a number of period dramas but never got so irritated with the way a character spoke before.The cast for this show was not to my liking. No one was really pleasant to look at (hehehe). The FL seemed too old for the ML, and the age gap between the Royal Advisor and Yeon Seon was too wide in my opinion. He seemed more suited playing a young uncle to her character.
Storyline was weak and not much romance.

Horrible acting, cinematography and fight scenes
I started watching this drama because I loved VIP with Jang Na Ra as the female lead. I don’t usually attempt to watch dramas with anything less than a rating of 8 but this was 7.9 so I figured I’ll give it a try since she was starring in it.I’ve only just watched 2.5 episodes and can no longer continue as I feel it will be a waste of my time. The acting is horrible and Cinematography and fight scenes are horrendous. Cameraman shakes the camera every time during close-up fight scenes to cover up for bad fight choreography which is such a put-off.
Just like in VIP, the male lead is not attractive (lol), but if everything else is superb (e.g. cinematography, plot, pace, acting), then I can still overlook the negatives and enjoy the drama. It was not so in this case.
This joins my list of dislikes like:
1) Descendants of the Sun (watched only 1 episode. Too much ads and the end of episode 1 was so silly)
2) Hometown Cha Cha Cha (watched 10 episodes. Nothing interesting happens with each passing episode)
3) Doctor Slump (somehow managed up to episode 15 and couldn’t bring myself to watch the last. Nothing interesting and significant about this show too).
4) Eve (watched till the end. Bad acting and tango dancing. Least they could do was to hire a professional dancer to train the female lead. The role she plays is supposed to be a trained dancer but it looked like she just learned those lousy moves off YouTube.)
5) Where Stars Land (watched till episode 5. Nothing interesting happening)
6) Legend of the Blue Sea (watched 2 episodes. Unattractive female lead, which could have been overlooked if not for the also bad acting, silly fight scenes and sound effects).
So if you concur with some of my dislikes list, you might not enjoy this drama too.
