Starts as a nice romance but keeps building in suspense and palace intrigue until right to the end, The acting of the leads is all very good with. Kim Yoo-Jeong (in her first reengage lead I believe) exceptional. They are helped by some really good character actors.
My only personal criticism is I think the leads ended up with the wrong lovers. The Crown Prince / King already had a beautiful, intelligent Queen. And. Kwak Dong-Yeon died for no good reason and would have made a good husband for. Hong Ra-on who was beautiful and brave but not actually all that bright, Would any King really marry he daughter of a rebel ?
Still this is a good fantasy historical drama with some fine acting, music and the costumes ...
