I love how the storyline began, but after the story started its twist and turns, I skipped over episodes and went to the last episode. In my mind, I knew what was taking place so it is not like I skipped then ran to the ending. I loved the main characters and they would've held my focus but it is not their fault. This drama was not for me. There was a lot of action but the romance severed which I didn't like is why I gave it a 7. The costumes were beautiful, and the set was great. It is hard for me to know that in the dynasty days that women were forced to marry someone that didn't love just for the title of Empress. I have seen this play out during the Renaissance period which is a small part of my DNA Hx.
