Beautiful and heartbreaking

This is my first historical k-drama. It was released in 2012 but I only got to it now because I just recently joined K-drama “fan wagon”. I don’t know how to rate this drama. I’m not a fan of historical dramas and only started watching it because of Kim Soo Hyun. He is superb! I also learned to love all of the characters. All actors were great!This drama is beautiful and heartbreaking. I will be honest, I skipped some of the palace politics parts , and not because it was difficult to follow but because there were way too many of them and it could have been wrapped up in standard 16 episodes, not 20. This not a romcom and though there were some funny and lighthearted moments this story is about unconditional love and ungodly amount of obstacles to go through to keep it. Many painful moments, many tears. But also it makes you believe that someone out there can fall in love with one person and be each other’s sun and moon for the rest of their lives. And the music is so breathtakingly beautiful! Watch this drama if you want a break from romcoms and want to experience some serious emotions but be prepared to pay attention, to cry and develop slight anxiety as story unfolds and leaves you with an aching heart at times. Solid 9 stars.
