People who have a very superficial understanding and common taste would not like this drama.

Minister Park went from someone who opposed the current king to a parrot in the royal court. I'm not sure the writers even bothered to noticed his sudden conversion. He was clearly a convenient plot device to bring evidence of the former CP's murder.

I rolled my eyes at the pathetic attempt at illiciting sympathy on the Queen Dowager. Her end was too kind for all the evilness, rancor and grudge she caused.

The King at the minimum should abdicate and his scum of a mother be put to death. That would be justice fulfilled.

I hope the ending is not a copout and the original instigators get their due punishment.

The Crowned Clown is also called Masquerade. Someone already put it the recommendation list.

The Queen Dowager deserves to get a poison cup in the end. That's the only logical ending for this nasty woman.

I have not enjoyed a court sageuk drama since Masquerade. This one is pretty close. I did like and enjoyed Mr. Queen but that the time travel and many comedic elements made it a less authentic historical drama. That one felt like a mashup of Go Princess Go and Scarlet Heart. I think this drama did well in taming the comedy and developing an interesting conflict in the royal court.

Waiting and waiting.......

I'm gonna flip if it's PXR even though I was hoping for a more mellow and lighthearted romcom for their reunion. I've seen the lakorn and the FL in Game of Love is a real b*tch.

Did the real Mu Deok get possession of her body back? This bothered me from the start and I postponed watching the show until the show ended.

The bodyguard/ML love interest is a total drag on the show. She's got zero chemistry with the ML and her assertive and impertinent attitude are way overdone. What the heck was the writer thinking creating this character.

LYX looks too fragile and lightweight-looking to pass off as a rescuer. A little bit of muscle would not hurt. Seriously Bai Jing Ting who I thought had a slight build in YAMH looks like Mr. Muscle next to Leo in this drama.

I've never warmed up to doctor-lawyer pairings in drama land or in real life for that matter.

What a psycho that Princess Taiping turn out to be.

My favorite doctor/uniformed officer drama. In comparison to DOTS and YAMH this one had a lot more nuanced plot and backstory. I think the other two relied more on their leads chemistry. This one was engaging and enjoyable right to the end. I'd love to see this remade into a K-drama.

I like this one better. YAMH plot was rather thin and one dimensional.

It was great until they added that ridiculous and contrived love line between Su Wu Ming and Yingtao. A forced and unnecessary plot that ruined the flow and chemistry of the drama.

The FL is more of a secondary character in this drama. I am liking they are not inserting unnecessary romantic moments between her and ML.

Su Wu Ming is a gem. The actor plays the cheeky and pompous sheriff/detective to the hilt. He is absolutely hilarious. The ML has the right mix of arrogance and cockiness. Thank goodness his bravado is not overdone.
