I found Bloody Heart to be exceptionally good and realistic; there’s something very real compared to other romanticized historical dramas. When you watch the drama, you can actually see how the story feels real, as if these things happened for real, if you know what I mean. The storyline, with the king on one corner, the minister in the other, and the queen in the middle, felt exciting but painfully realistic. What I loved about it was that I could not pinpoint who was the bad guy because you could actually look at each character's motives and understand why they were doing what they were doing, like they all had good reasons and bad reasons. It's similar to the usual chessboard we see in many historical dramas but yet so incredibly different. The acting really elevated this, and the intrigues felt so deep and personal as if it was happening to me. Oh gosh, the acting was painfully good. The intensity of the king's feelings and his rage, contained in regal posture but flooding out from him...and his longing for his queen...was so magnetic! Minister Park was both painfully right but also intensively wrong in his feelings. I don’t have the words to describe this, than it is brilliant drama.
