Unexpected
Yes, that's the word for it: unexpected. Even though the first episode is a bit long, the plot is really good from the very beginning. Falcon is even more challenged when a great hacker makes his appearance and there's a nuclear bomb threatening Japan. You have to expect the unexpected in every episode because you never know one's true intention: who can you trust?Acting was as always great.
Music, as in the first season, suited the mood.
I think it's better than the first season, although it is recommended to watch also the first season, this is why my rewatch value is 9.

Unique and refreshing
It's good to start watching something without any expectations so you can be pleasantly surprised. The beginning was slow paced but enjoyable. It had a certain mystery and everything went in the right direction even in the last episodes. The ending was a bit ambiguous for me because some things don't add up but I won't go into detail since I don't want to spoil anything.I really liked the characters and the acting! I really enjoyed the character developments.
Music was cute just like all those cats that appeared in the show!
It is a drama to rewatch because of the fresh feel that it gives.

Captivating melodrama
One of the things that made this drama an enjoyable watch was the plot. I couldn't help but feel bad for everything Yoo Jung was going through but it was great seeing her trying to make her way of living after being in prison. Liked the fact the drama didn't focus too much on Yoo Jung's time in prison.The acting was so good especially from the leads.
Music was well suited for the drama.
My rewatch value isn't that high because it was so sad in the beginning and I thought there's no way a person can endure that much.

It starts off really good, the plot is great from this point of view, the only problem for me is that in the last episodes it gets a bit dragging.
The acting was really good, it's one of the few dramas where I really like the cast and the characters don't annoy me!
The music was really cute, well suited for the scenes.
I would rewatch it, especially the first episodes! Too funny!

The story was new for a Korean drama: a woman in her 30s wanting to be a main writer. Her road is full with obstacles but in the end she makes it. The ending though was quite uninspired and bland. All that trouble for nothing?
The acting was good and the cast was well chosen.
The OST was really nice.
To be honest, I wouldn't watch it again, maybe some moments from it but overall it was a pleasant watch.

Flawless drama
What a drama. Everything about it was flawless.Plot is interesting from the very beginning; you don't even notice time passing considering almost all episodes have 75 minutes. Every episode ending was unexpected, I couldn't guess at all what was going to happen.
No complaints about the acting: Yeo Jin Goo played absolutely amazing; you could totally see from his look and intonation when he was playing Ha Seon or the king. Never saw a drama with Kim Sang Kyung before; he portrayed a great character but with flaws. Every character was memorable because of the hard work the actors put!
The OST was so beautiful.
I would rewatch this drama for sure, everything was on point.

One of the best historical Korean dramas
Another review I'm writing from a second viewing perspective. It must be about 6 years since I first watched it and seeing it was airing on my national channel, I had to watch it again. It's in my top 3 all-time Korean dramas, that's how good it is to me.Even at second watch, it was amazing! Firstly, the episode length shouldn't be a hurdle to anyone: there are so many things happening! The fast pacing is one of the strengths of this show, yes, one of it! 99% of the drama is about the road to becoming an empress. There are so many obstacles until she gets there that you are about to throw a party once that happens.
Let's talk about the acting: Ha Ji Won was absolutely magnificent, she never disappoints! I like so much the fact that she was at first presented as a very strong woman with fighting skills and then you could see her vulnerability. But still, what a strong character interpreted by one of the finest actresses of South Korea! Ji Chang Wook was so good, his character was alone and used like a puppet by almost everyone! Joo Jin Mo was great too, felt so bad for his character. My favourite character from the entire drama has to be Tal Tal, one of the smartest characters ever, always taking the right decisions, so calculated in everything he did.
Beautiful OST!
For sure, one of the best historical Korean dramas and one of the best Korean dramas ever!

Rollercoaster drama
What a ride this drama has been. Funny, cute, emotional, dark, you name it.The plot is so complex that I don't even know where to start. Everything is centered around Lee Yeon Soo but the other characters have their conflicts as well. The backstory of Kim Dan seemed so interesting to me. I'm glad the ending was a satisfactory one because the last episodes were so sad. If I had something to object was the fact that the ending was a bit rushed but that's not taking anything from the drama's charm.
The highlight of the acting performances was definitely for me Shin Hye Sun's, absolutely great. Nothing seemed exaggerated in any way whatsoever. L improved a lot. The antagonists played so good!
The OST was just perfect, most OSTs are OK, this one sticks in your mind.
I would rewatch this for sure, once my planned-to-watch list becomes shorter.

Lighthearted and very funny
Seeing it was one of the highest rated shows on Viki, I decided to give this drama a shot.Overall, there isn't a thorough plot but comedic situations make it so worth to watch! Once you find out the truth about the kidnapping, there isn't much going on. But the characters and the naturalness make time slip so fast.
The acting was really good and the chemistry between the leads was spot on! Thankfully there were no love triangles.
Yes, I would rewatch at least the funny moments which are, I think, about 80-85%. Park Seo Joon's facial expressions made me laugh a lot!
