I'm going to be so fair in writing these reviews. To be honest, it's been a while since I watched this drama, and there have been a lot of dramas after it - but I still can't get over how good it was. The acting was superb, the melodies, music (especially Thorn Love - 4MEN) were to die for and Empress Ki (Ha Ji Won) was so empowering! My favorite actor in this whole drama was Ji Chang Wook, who made a GREAT Emperor of Yuan. I especially loved the storyline and the chemistry between the main characters. Overall, one of my top 3 Korean dramas! Superb job on this drama Korea!
