I finished watching this drama few days ago, and no matter what I do, I cant move it from my heart nor my mind!
I can't stop listening to OST and crying over them T_T
I really wish if I could forget this entire show and re-watch it again!

The main story is good, the drama catched me from the first episode, (I saw till 4 then stopped according to exams, then completed it all in a week xD) but some where at the 20s it got really boring >< anyways, if you forced yourself a little bit more, you'll find that this drama deserves!
The focus on the main story started at near episode 36 or so, and from there on, this drama is incredible! (and also tear-jerker T_T)

I loved the characters, my favorites are the brothers Dong-Chul and Dong-Wook
even though in the middle Dong-Wook started to annoy me, but I understood him and sympathized with him till the end

The music! oh don't even mention it, it is amazing!! I really care for ost when watching dramas, and this one has a really good combination of them. I specially like Fate Reverse by SG Wannabe, actually I am listening to it almost every day since the 4th episode of the show xD

re-watch value is low since I don't re-watch dramas usually + this drama is really long!
also I didn't heal yet from watching it T_T I'm sensitive person who got emotionally attached so easily, so this drama was kind of shock to me ^^" but I won't tell you to throw all this journey because of the ending, give it a try!

I don't write reviews usually, but because I finished this drama before days and \i still can't forget it, I know I have to write one!

Honestly I started this because of Jin Goo, in addition to that I like historical drama.
It grabbed me from the first ep because of the great acting especially the king, even though the story wasn't clear yet.

I have to say that this description here have nothing to do with the story! It is different, I never saw the gamble between Dae Gil and the king even after watching all the show!

The reason that kept me to watch the drama was the brothers and waited bromance, the acting, and a mysterious thing kept me marathoning it! It took me only 4-5 days to finish it which is rare for me, but my heart was hurting me all the show long because I felt sorry for the prince.

The amazing thing is that I don't really remember the story xD I mean I was so deep into the details (and Jin Goo :P) the I didn't focus on the mainline ^^" but it wasn't bad (the clue that is I'm done with it and I'm liking it)
But after finishing it and reading about the real history behind it, I find it smart, how they built the story using a tiny imaginary twist in the history!

I was afraid because the comments I read that second half was boring, but it wasn't for me, one reason was because I always waited for more bromance (which was good for me, but I wished for more xD).
I still remember some scenes I like.

What I really disliked was a huge change of one character in the end, with no deep reasons in my opinions.
The ending was fine, but even though, my heart still hurts me a little.
all in all, if you like historical dramas you might like this.

This drama is warm! and it says deep things: dreams, sacrificing, hard working, precious of life, family's warmth.. and more, it made me smile and it made me cry
I wanted to see and feel those beautiful feelings, it made me love my siblings more!

I liked how characters were introduced, and I loved how they developed and that everybody has their own story, problems and personality.
And most Importantly, and maybe because I'm the oldest sister, I really loved the relationship between the oldest brother and his siblings, and their deep conversations

I thought about not writing this, but because I consider drama as a chance to know more and more about other cultures and other people, I will say it:
I don't accept some of the problems they had, maybe because of culture/beliefs difference, but if that how it is going there so there's nothing I can do but to learn from it all, right? :)

anyways the drama is good <3
*I think I should re-watch it just for the sake of the conversations, I need to quote them!*
*oh and the song is so good! I wish to find it English subbed :(*

I rarely write reviews but I can't let go of this lovely drama easily ;-;
In general I like Korean historical dramas so I really really enjoyed this show after a long time of being unable to enjoy anything I watch, but this drama took me to the characters' world, made me smile, laugh, cry, love and hate with them..

The story is really good, acting is good, OSTs omg osts! they are perfect!
The villain is one of the worst I've ever seen in my life! the acting was so good I hated him deeply the whole time!
Also the drama has some really good conversations that can actually be quoted and I like that.
And something very random but can I say I loved Gon-ah ;-;?

In my opinion it could have lesser episodes and feeling a little bit bored after the first half of the drama was the only bad thing for me (in addition to tiny holes but they don't actually affect the story and can't be noticed sometimes), but again in general it's good, I highly recommend it for anyone who likes historical dramas or dramatic stories and conflicts that lead to characters' growth.
