Historical dramas with romance

I initially thought it would be a simple rom-com, but it transcended all my expectations. The plot threw me for a loop so many times that I couldn't bring myself to stop watching. In the first few episodes, the drama was incredibly funny, but then it took a surprising turn and just kept getting better with each passing episode. 

A few other things to mention: 

• Very good OST: In the memorable moments, it amplified the excitement of the scene even more, and I absolutely loved that. 
• Romance: The main couple had incredible chemistry, and their romance was fantastic! 
• The acting from all the cast was really good.
• Intriguing political plot, very addictive to watch; the sword-fighting scenes were truly epic, strong female characters, and the ending was one of my favorites among all the dramas I've seen!

A historical drama set in the Joseon period and it's more on the lighter side, especially compared to a lot of other dramas set in this time period. Also includes hidden identity. As seemingly with all Joseon-era sageuks, there is palace politics involved, however, the romance is more of the main focus of the show.

The female lead disguises herself as a man and counsels men on dating. Due to a love letter she wrote for a client, she meets Crown Prince Hyo Myung.
