I don't know why this drama gets a lot of backlash because I thought the plot was amazing and clever. It was so fun to watch everything play out and resolve. Yoo Seung Ho did such a great job playing his role and he plays a crown prince SO WELL. Kim So Hyun is such a queen of course, like from the variety of roles she played before, now she's in the historical times WOW and she did well. I watched this drama with my family and we all enjoyed it together.

One thing that BROKE my heart was the second female lead because she is such a queen, such a boss and even stood up to her evil grandfather and died. Her love for the crown prince was so genuine and so pure, even though she wasn't. She did A LOT for him and honestly it would've been hard for him to succeed without her help.
I also LOVE every single one of the OSTs in this drama and I love singing along to them.
