After a long time of breaks and pauses, I finally finished watching this drama. It was adventurous and thrilling to be a part of Seungnyang's journey to becoming the empress of Yuan. She was powerful and clever when it came to making strategies. Ha Jiwon truly understood the assignment!!

It was heartbreaking to see how almost everyone in the drama dies. I also had a major second lead syndrome while watching the drama. Wangyu and Seungnyang were just made for each other!! It was funny because I would oftentimes curse the Emperor whenever he shows up and tell him to shut up T__T

Yon Feisue was one of the best characters out there. I was literally crying my heart out when I saw her die T__T I also liked the presence of the Empress Dowager. She was so charismatic and her character was played out excellently!

The soundtracks really suited the drama. It was hard to pick a favorite because all of them were beautiful. So far, my favorite one is Park Wankyu's "The Wind."

All in all, this drama is truly epic! Although it's a bit lengthy, no single episode will bore you at all. To those who plan to watch this drama, I just have to remind you how tearjerker this drama is and how it's riddled with so many plot twists :)
