I actually liked how this drama special didn't focus on romance and instead decided to focus on politics and friendship inside the palace. Historical dramas with political action are my favorite. If you are looking for romance or comedy, you're not going to get that here, but if you want some heartbreaking moments and sismance (with a side of jealous woman), you've come to the right place.

Although some of Sae Ron's acting is left to be desired (for some reason the small romantic scene she had didn't seem that romantic but in fact extortion), for the most part, she and her costar Da Eun do a great job portraying the characters they are given. I really like Da Eun's character even though originally I thought I was going to hate her.
