This is one of the best all around drama I have seen in the many years I have watched Asian dramas. No less than a 10/10 rating. This drama made me question if I am living my life right. It cuts to the raw emotions exposing greed and ungratefulness when we should be happy we can get up out of bed each day.
I should have known this is the same director for Heard it Through the Grapevine, Secret Love Affair and A Wife's Credentials. Same easy going, close to real life scenarios with little makjang over the top drama. I love this style. Feels slow, but, captivating as the story builds. Another JTBC hit!
A brilliant show! They add humor to the most mundane things like brushing your teeth to a time and eating scorched rice! The masters are great even the hyper active Master director! You can learn something about yourself in each episode.
I liked it. No perfect solutions to everyday problems. Just ordinary people trying to make life work for them and sometimes it goes off in a curve. The cast worked well. Poems were boring until I started to appreciate them. Truncated ending. Felt like there should be 1 or 2 more episodes to come to a better more complete closure. Worth watching.
As much as I want to love this drama, something feels "off" with the directing? I think the writing is great,…
I agree the directing is off. The scenes feel unfinished and lack continuity. Too many scenes in each episode mean one scene is nice and calm and the next they are over the top with emotions before I even realize the situation was that serious. The cast is experienced. So, can't blame them. This is losing potential as fast as my Jan Hyuk ship is sinking.

I don't know about ChinaZone or any differences in subs from one sight to another. Someone requested subs and I obliged. You can reply to them if you have other links with better subs. I am sure it would be appreciated.
This was great! Enjoyable down to the CGI's that were done right. But, I may have to reassess my life because I was crying too hard through parts of it. LOL Worth the high overall ratings..
This was worth watching even though I dislike bullets and mud flying modern day war dramas. There was enough substance in the scenarios and relationships. The characters were strong. Most of it made sense except for the ending. But, it is still worth watching. It's a solid 8.5 for me.
This is the funniest drama I have seen in the last few years! Happy tears in each episode makes one wonder how they would top the funny scenarios in the next episode. Credit all around to the cast as well as the writer for the well timed humor and romance and the director for making each episode seamless. It never got tiring. They would be foolish not to make a second season. Credit to JTBC for another hit. I can imagine the actors already in line to get a cameo part as themselves.
This is definitely worth watching based on the exciting opening episode and the intriguing subsequent episodes. You feel the wit, intensity and chess like strategies as the good and bad guys (and girls) position themselves in this palace/ruling power drama. It moves faster than the typical 50+ episodes Chinese historical drama. I can hardy believe I have watched almost a third of it already. The bromance is envious. There are enough light moments so it does not feel too stiff. The lead couple is a show stealer. It is easier to figure out the key players if you have seen Advisors Alliance or one of the many Three Kingdom dramas. But, not a pre-requisite.
