Even though I had seen the original version of this drama, I gave it a try because of Lee Joon Gi.

First, this drama is not similar completely to the original ( include the number of the princes, the personalities of princes and so on).

Second, of all people, Lee Joon Gi's acting is dominant in this drama. He is so good to convey complicated feeling of Wang So- the fourth prince. He is 11/10 acting. Just perfect! Of course, his character is different from the fourth prince in Chinese version.

IU is neither stiff nor good. Her acting can be accepted. She knows how to act innocent and how to cry. However, she cannot show the different faces of her character and she cannot express the complex feeling when it is necessary. Her acting only improved in the last two episodes.

Kang Ha Neul is also so good at his role, especially first few episodes, but now his character does not shine brightly as the first few episodes. The writer perhaps has not invested in Wang Wook character right now. I do like his personalities in the beginning but I do not like how they solved the triangle Hae Soo- Wang Wook- Lady Hae.

Other princes are handsome but I do not understand why they need many princes when the number of episodes is limited. The other princes such as the tenth prince and thirteen prince is too stiff. They need to improve a lot.

The quality of the direction and music and even story are going up and down. Some episodes are good, some are bad.

Those episodes in the middle of this drama are well done. But both the beginning and the other half of this drama from episode 14 is very boring. The final episode is ok.
