I'm not really into historical dramas but after watching Eternal love and The eternal love I decided to give more historical dramas a chance since those two were really good, and I'm extremely glad I did. This drama had me roped in from episode one. It was addictive. It does, however, have a lot of political stuff which basically dictates everything but that just adds in to make it that much greater. I would definitely recommend especially if you're new to the historical drama genre. Be warned however that there are a lot of downs but still not extremely depressing.

I enjoyed every character...even the evil ones that at times I even found myself rooting for them because in some ways they were relatable lol. I only cried twice. Happy watching!
