Is this worth watching? The rating is high, but the summary is not that enticing

First a lookalike for Soo Ryun and now a twin brother for Logan..... Na Ae Gyeo looking exactly like Soo Ryun was already not that convincing. Especially, since they didn't explain why she looked exactly like her. They weren't related, so was it plastic surgery? Wow knows. But that has been wrapped up, so I just moved on and started season 3 and once again they go with another lookalike. Luckily this time it's his brother, so at least it's convincing, but since it has already been used during the previous season, it's old and what is up with his styling. I get the fact that they needed to make them different from each other, but was this really necessary?

This season was crazy, but that's the attraction of this drama in the first place, so not a bad thing. There were some big things story-wise that I didn't particularly like. All in all, it delivered what it promised. Obviously, I didn't like the ending of this season, but I suppose that since they were going for season three, the writers needed a new crime that required revenge. As I already commented for season one, I would have been just as happy if they ended it in season one by having the bad guys punished then and there, but they decided to drag it out. Again, I would have been just as happy if they ended the drama with season two, since it was wrapped up nicely, but since I already spent two seasons, I'm going to watch the third one to complete the story, even though I know I might end up disappointed.

Started watching season 2 right after season 1. I'm on episode 5 now and one thing I prefer in this season compared to the previous one is that they are turning the bad guys against each other instead of trying to fight them as a group. Better strategy and a lot of fun.

Lee Ji Ah is indeed listed in the cast for both season 2 and 3, so obviously not the end for her. I'm currently watching episode 3 of season 2 and she hasn't appeared yet. Hopefully she'll appear soon and shock them all. I will be watching till the end to see the bad people punished.

Finished season 1. Before you go into this drama, please be aware that this is a makjang drama, which basically means it's over the top. There's lots of drama, tears, immoral behaviour,.... That being said, it delivers what it promises and it's super well acted. Infuriating to watch! Which is the whole point. After watching one season, I don't see the necessity of two more, because they could have wrapped it all up in one, but since I started already, I will finish the other two seasons too just to see the bad guys get what they deserve.

I'm on episode 21 now. If you don't want to know, stop reading now............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Oh Yoon Hee has disappointed me. A LOT!!!

Chinilpa is a derogatory term. They should really make sure to replace that with something more proper.

you'll find out pretty soon who fell off the building, but you'll have to wait a while to find out who pushed her. I think in episode 15 they'll finally show who pushed her.

So far the good ones seem to be Oh Yoon Hee and Shim Soo Ryun.

Agree. She was sneaking around and fighting with her mom to let her sing, but then she failed once and tried to deliberately ruin her voice. Weak and disappointing. I lost all respect for her then and there.

Finally started watching this. I'm seven episodes in and struggling to find a likeable character.

I agree, that's why I put this on my to watch list. There are times when I want to watch something serious and there are also times that I want something light and silly and funny. I will definitely be watching this in the future.

Rewatched this after five years and I still love it. I skipped most of Su Jin and a lot of Xuan Nu. They were the characters that annoyed me the most during the first watch, so I didn't need that this time around. I was still sad to see Dong Hua and Feng Jiu and Zi Lan and Yan Zhi not get their happy ending. Dong Hua and Feng Jiu did get a whole new drama with a happy ending, so that's ok. Will be rewatching again after 5 years :)

Definitely one of the more problematic things storywise yes, but doesn't take away from the fact that she was miscast. Also, the relationship between the Emperor and Tilan in the beginning was not exactly nice to watch either as he was openly abusive and she was manipulative on multiple occasions. So yes, the relationships in this drama don't start out well to say the least.

This is one of those old dramas that you still remember after over a decade. And by remember, I mean you remember the plot and lot of the scenes and you remember all the characters. It's definitely memorable, it's funny and romantic and there's some fantasy involved. All in all, I loved it back in 2010 and I still love it now.

I watched this not long after it aired. I chose to watch it back then because I love both the lead actors, but I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. The cast did an amazing job portraying their characters and it was definitely fun to watch.

Not familiar with Lee Jun Young, but it's always nice to see new talent and a new face. I will be watching this, because it sounds interesting.
