THE 2ND ML TAKES THE CROWN WHEN IT COMES TO ACTING AND ATTRACTION!!!

While plot perfectly explains the background of how the actual story starts, this drama is much more than just a fight for romance. The leads are good actors , Ii-woo is nice and Yuri definitely has some great scenes in the show.But I just somehow fast forwarded several scenes of them together during the 2nd half the show. It felt like a waste of screen time.

It's my first time watching Hyun Soo who plays Daeyeop ( and probably gonna watch all his dramas now ) and I am not kidding DAEYEOP was the only character I watched till the end and I guarantee you, you too will do the same as the story proceeds . Be it the acting, the character development, the charisma , he took the spotlight even when he shared the screen with the main leads. He oozed more sparks and chemistry by just thinking about the princess alone that what I could feel between the romantic lingering gazes of the leads. While one might hate him for being so helplessly in love with the FL at first, watching further, you would sympathise with the character.

The whole "Bossam" story lasts up to around 5-6 episodes and then starts the politics, king, minister plots, coups etc . Hence if you love watching historical dramas for the true events that have occurred, you will love this as I did . Go through the Wikipedia or some background about the King portrayed and the relating events and the story unfolding will make much more sense to you. I loved how the writers inserted their own interpretation while presenting the true events.

The end was realistic to some extent and was a bittersweet one.

Ii-woo did not grab my attention apart from first 4-5 episodes, that too when he was with his kid and friend.After than, I fast forwarded most of the romantic scenes as it lacked romance. Their supportive gang and secret helpers definitely will make you smile from within. Chun bae and Court Lady Jo provide good comic relief .

The characters of the show, most of them are grey , not black and white and I actually like that given their situation. A perfect show for history lovers. As for people who have come here for romance, next time, do "GOOD JOB" !!!!! ( if you know, you know ?️)
