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 ^_^
