Utter Rubbish!

There is a limit to how much one can suspend their brain, but this is asking too much. Just one person acting on a whim and everyone else pandering to them.
I tried to get through this, not being one to drop a drama just because... but this was mind numbingly painful to watch. I got to ep 26 trying to watch it while doing other things but, I just couldn't stomach the reunion ofter 6 years! Nonsense!

Though the actors were easy on the eye, the story it unrealistic to the umpteenth degree.

I couldn't stomach it any longer and I can't recommend it. There are so many other worthy dramas you can spend your time on.

Not sure what everyone else was watching but this is certainly not worth 8.3, it's a 5.5 at best.

totally enjoyable drama

This was a totally enjoyable drama.
Everyone involved did a sterling job, The acting was superb and the story was told beautifully.
I was drawn to this drama because of 2pm Junho but fell in love with a lot of the other actors.


**Spoiler Alert**
I struggled to understand why Deok Im never professed her love for the King, especially after his numerous confessions and even when she was dying. The king went over and above for her and it would have been nice to see her acknowledge it, even on her death bed.
Had they been mutually in love, I would have enjoyed their romantic scenes more. I didn't like that it seemed like she was with him because he had commanded her to be.

It would be difficult to invest the same amount of time to re-watch this but i will definitely re-watch my favourite scenes and episodes.

I cannot believe the ending!!!

I literally binge-watched this drama in 2 days.
It was that enjoyable until I got to episode 14. All the reviews and comments I'd read before I began watching it did not prepare me for the last three episodes. If Jun was going to come back, why have his mum lie about his death and keep lying to everyone for five years? What if Ra-Ra had married someone else? Who lies about their death like that or their son's death? Only to resurface after 5 years and expect to carry on from where they left off? Utter nonsense!
I cannot believe the ending... did not make sense AT ALL!!! I wish I knew what the writer and director were trying to prove.

Rant over, I loved the actors and their acting, the characters and the story up until episode 13.
I didn't like Go Ara in Hwarang (the only drama of hers I'd seen prior) but she totally nailed this role.
Lee Jaewook was amazing as always. It's so hard to believe that he is so young!
Everyone else did a good job.

The piano pieces were lovely, a bit too long in parts but they were a lovely addition.

Skipped over some of the other side characters' parts but it didn't take away from the drama.

I probably would not watch the whole drama again, but would definitely watch certain parts of it.

Oh Jung Ho!!!

I did not get the ending I want but I'm happy with 'I won't live badly'.
The acting was great, considering it was a first project for most of the actors. I was drawn to this for Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jong Suk, but ended up with a few more favs, such as Lee Ji Hoon, Yi Kyung, Kwak Jung Wook and Daniel Choi.

It dragged on a bit in parts, but then, that is to be expected when it has to last 16 episodes.

Didn't think much of the OST, but it didn't get on my nerves.

If you don't mind high school dramas, give it a try.
Enjoyable and mildly tugs at your heart strings.
