One of the best sageuks ever!
This one is a bit different from the other sageuks I've seen. It has a more tender, gentle side compared to the intense, more war-ridden energy of Jumong and Queen Seondeok. It has the same vibes as Dae Jang Geum, and in a way, the protagonists almost have the same values.
Dong Yi is intelligent, kind-hearted, yet protective and very discerning. Once she discovers something, she never let go. That's why the nickname POONGSAN hahaha. The contrast of her personality makes her character interesting, even though she's not a badass.
Jang Hee Bin, on the other hand, is a worthy opponent of Dong Yi. She's also intelligent, but ambition and greed are something that she never let go. I love how cunty she is and how firm she is with her goals. But of course, there's always a downside for wanting too much.
Queen Inhyun is a great mentor to Dong Yi. I love how supportive she is and how secure her character is. That's peak girl's girl.
Lastly, the chemistry with the king. Actually, Ji Jin Hee and Han Hyo Joo can star in a romcom and I'd watch it. Their banters is so good but they're soft for each other.
Overall, I love this. Probably in my top 10 favorite k-dramas.
