SPOILERS:







currently watching and on ep 15.......

If I compare it to Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat, it's not as amazing as Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat. I loved Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat more.

However, this lakorn is interesting on its own as well. It was interesting that I learned more about some more historical events that happened in Thailand. Also, I think it was the first time I saw a lakorn with lots of battles in it.

Moreover, I don't remember the dates but it's definitely more recent than Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat as some Inwa soldiers or commanders and even some thai people from Adoyaha have guns. I also learned lots lof things like that 'Thai' means free, I did not know that. Also, like a game called Kallabot.

Also, I liked the plot that revolved around the palace and the nobles, ok it wasn't the best ever, but I liked it. You get to see the dark side of the palace, the nobles, their power, corruption, the things they do, their greed, how they look down on poor people, commoners and the slaves, people who are patriotic and those who aren't, how they live, their culture, their way of life, etc. Anyway, it's the usual around historical dramas, especially when the palace in involved.

Also, I loved the main leads, they are cute together <3 Also, their interactions and how they tease each other is so adorable <3 The downside is that we barely see any romance, even up till now they are not officially together yet. But they definitely love each other. However, the point of this drama is not the romance but not the historical events that happened to Thailand in the past.

Moreover, I liked the parts of the main lead disguised as an Eunuch. It was the first time I saw the focus on Eunuchs in the palace, the work they do, etc and in this case they were foreigners, they were Turkish. It was different than usual, so for me it was interesting. I never saw a historical drama like this lakorn. As like in Korean and Chinese historical dramas, the Eunuchs are left in the background and were never foreigners.

For me, this lakorn isn't the best ever. Many times I put this lakorn on a short hold, as sometimes it annoyed me or many things were happening, people who did not deserve it died, etc and so I watched something else to take a break from it.

However, I still watched it all, with no fast forwarding, as I did not want to miss anything. But, it would have been better if it was shorter, there were many times in the story that were extra plots, especially in the palace parts. Also, it had many hilarious moments, sad and painful moments.

Anyway, I loved all the cast, they were all great actors. Also, I loved all the characters, they were important to the story :) And it took me some time to watch it, but I'm glad I did ^_^

Last 2 episodes left..........




EDIT: Finished!

The thai managed to take back their home in 7 months, that's really impressive. The new King is really good. I'm happy that they got their home back :)

Also, the main leads got together and got married :D Their wedding night was so hilarious :D And they are also so cute and adorable together ^_^

It is a sort of happy ending. It's sad that the thai people that were stolen away from their home and taken to another country, could not return back to their home. Also, the thai had to continue fighting for their country and continuous wars. However, there were many beneficial things as well. However, on a happier note, the traitors got what they deserved, mostly died and the concubine turned crazy.

Anyway, I liked the lakorn :) It's worth a watch ^_^

It was light and hilarious, however at times it was idiotic and the CGI effects looked fake. But it was not bad on general, it was an interesting story.

Also, I really liked the guardian spirit plot, it reminded me of Pokemon or Bagukan :) Also, I liked the characters and the costumes when they were in the spirit world :)

It was not perfect and I fast forward some scenes, but it is not bad either. I think it is worth a watch :)

Also, it has an ending but the leads need to continue their mission.

I don't know if they will continue it or not as it has been 2 years, but if they decide to continue it, I would watch it :)

Loved it :D It was beautiful and made me go through a roller coaster ride of emotions.

It wasn't perfect though, as I did fast forward some episodes as at times it made me feel frustrated. However I went back to continue it, I was curious to see what will happen next. Anyway, I loved it :D

I also loved all the actors, their characters and their awesome acting :D I loved how their crying was so realistic, most of them got red eyes in the crying scenes, I rarely see that.

Also, I liked the ending :)

You can say this story was light from the usual historical dramas. Yes ok, there were many deaths, many bad stuff, etc. But from the usual historical k-dramas I watched, this one was pretty light.

For the main characters:

-I loved Solnan. She reminded me of Mulan. She did everything for her family, literally, especially for her sister Solhi.

We got to see Solnan change from an innocent child to a mature woman. She went through a lot. She's also mentally strong and witty.

I mostly loved her wit, her keen sight to things, her strong mind, etc and how she was able to keep sane, caring and loving.

-For the King Mu Ryeong. It was the first time I saw a King like this. Actually, he is one of the best Kings I ever saw. For once, he is not greedy or crazy, but truly wants the best for his people and for his country at the expense of hurting himself and his family.

Also, he was humble, knew his strengths, his weaknesses, his sins, his rights, his wrong doings, etc. Ok he wasn't perfect, but I loved how he knew that but did his best to rule in a good way.

-For the Crown Prince. He was a jerk to Solnan in the beginning and hated him when he used her as an object. However, as time when by, thanks to Solnan, he softened and began to cherish people. Ok he did that to please the King, but still he was too cold in the beginning. Anyway, when he finally saw Solnan as a woman, he changed a lot and I liked how he cared and treated Solnan well.

For the romance part between the leads, they were cute and we saw some cute kiss scenes and their chemistry was not out of this world, but it was ok. I found them cute togther :)

-For Solhi, I hated her. She was really ugly, greedy, selfish, murderer, jealous, etc. She did everything to get what she wanted, to keep her position as princess.

-For Jinmu, he was evil sometimes, but he wasn't truly that evil. Yeah he did lots of gave mistakes, but most of the time, he did not mean them. I really pitied him.

Conclusion:

Definitely worth watching it :) It is long and I did fast forward some parts, but I loved it :D It took me a lot time to watch this drama, but I'm glad I finally did ^_^
