SSKF

I'm watching this and I'm enjoying myself. However, I had to pause because this delivers anxiety attacks. this show keeps raising my blood pressure, sending it down, then making it sky-rocket again. Uncomfortable!

I second the comment under this. Is there any romance? If yes, do they get together by the end?

I want to watch this, based solely on Seo In Guk and Lee Soo Hyuk's acting. But the story has to be worthy too, and I also am hesitant of noona romances. Is this worth it to watch, anyone? Is it good enough that I might like it?

I *sigh* with you. I liked them better than the lead pair. I though Gwi truly loved her and she had at least some understanding of him.

Maybe you're agreeing because even with Lee Jun Gi, this drama was somewhat of a disappointment and the most interesting character happened to be the bad guy. I agree we needed a backstory. And I would have loved if he'd ended up with the Queen in the end.

I don't think anyone wants to spoil that here. I'll send you a message though lol. This ending really shouldn't be spoiled though, but I know how tough it is. You should give this drama another chance. It's too funny (in my opinion) to pass up.

I was on the right ship then. Thanks.

I loved Cruel City 100times! Healer was a must for every Kdrama fan. The writing and acting there was excellent. And Bridal Mask was cool too. I have to check out Kurosagi though. I have good hopes for it seeing as it's grouped with my favourite shows.

Please spoil it. Who did she end up with? I want to be on the right ship before taking off.

You know there is something wrong with a drama when you want the bad guy to win over everyone else, want more screen time with him, and prefer to see him over any of the 'good guys'. It helps that he's hotter than everyone else too.
You also know something is wrong when you just can't get into the romance of the leads, or even care for their story and their mission. All I want to see is Gwi's pretty face and superb acting. All the ingredients for an excellent drama were there, but it was still truly bland.

Watch Nine Times Time Travel. That show helped me get over Healer and Heartless City because it's just as addictive and the writing is excellent.

Going through this after watching Prince of Lan Ling. I'm searching high and low for another romance like it, but alas.... none exists quite yet. Will be rewatching.

I feel you. It's been a month for me and I still can't get over it. Jung Kyung Ho's acting was great.

I dropped this. The reasons are entirely shallow - the main leads did not interact until ep4, and even then, minimally. The palace stuff took too much time and was boring. Also, there was a character who got too much screen time and irritated me.

I watched this because it has high ratings and was recommended on Prince of Lan Ling's page. This is nothing like Lan Ling, and in the first 7 episodes, nowhere near as romantic. I got bored waiting and frustrated trying to stick it out to see anything interesting. The only think I liked was how the character of Xin Yu grew stronger, but that was full of plot holes too.

is this airing yet?

Is this drama out?

Anyone can tell me which drama to watch after Prince of Lan Ling? I liked PLL because of the numerous and chem-tastic scenes between Lan Ling and Xu Wu. I need another historical Chinese drama that is just as romantic.

I looked through all the comments to see who dies in the end. Thanks for writing yours. I'm watching it and I like that she will die. It makes it more poignant - Xu Wu and Lan Ling Wang will forever be in love and nothing can separate them, not even death and history. Cool. If 4th Prince had died alone then she would have been lonely, heartbroken and probably have to marry someone else. It's better this way.

Been thinking for days on if to watch this drama, if t was worth it, if it was too long, or too harsh on our OTP. Your review convinced me to give it a try. Thanks.

Want to see it for the storyline, but I'm shallow - I don't like noona romances.
