First of all, I had very high hopes for this drama. Yoona was great, as chef royal chef Yeon Ji Yeong. She was believable and her acting was so good. The king,Yi Heon, played by Lee Chae Min, on the other hand, was clueless about everything around him, except his revenge and the chef royal chef. He would see his uncle doing bad things and did nothing until the very end of the drama. He yelled at Consort Kang, once, but let her misdeeds go unpunished. The king did not even know that half of the royal guards were changed out for his uncle's on guys. He wanted to kill his grandmother so badly. When it came to his royal chef, the king came on too strong right from the beginning. He had been involved with Consort Kang. Consort Kang and the king's uncle were also involved romantically. The king had such fits of rage and the bad guys knew how to push his buttons. The chef royal chef's sidekick Seo Gil Geum, played by Yoon Seo Ah, was a great character. She only had three days to learn her acting part after getting a call to act in this drama. She was fantastic. When it came down to it, the king killed this drama; he did show up in modern times, to Yeon Ji Yeong's delight, for she had fallen in love with him and missed him dearly. I watched this drama twice. The first time, I belived that the king and Consort Kang were married. I believed that the king was cheating on the consort and wanted to make Ueon Ji Yeong his concubine. I did some research and found out that the king had been married in the past, however, his wife died. I watched the drama again to see how much better it would be without the king being married. He still messed it up. I just did not like the king. I do not have plans to ever watch this drama again.
