It's finished. I can't believe it's done. Some people said that this drama dragged a lot but not for me. I thought the pacing was ok. Some people said it should have ended at ep 16 but I don't think so. The end was... I guess if it was me, I would have done it differently. Nevertheless, what they did was beautiful. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. I haven't watched many sageuks but this is one of my favorites.
THE STORY
The story for me is one I haven't really seen or read yet. Maybe it's one of the reasons why I liked it so much. It was pretty original for me. An unfortunate princess born with a curse and an unfortunate guy born as a bastard of a prominent family. You just feel sorry for them in the beginning. Then you kinda fall in love watching them try to go after every obstacle thrown in their way. I love the cinematography and the costumes are so colorful.
THE ACTING/CAST
I have no complaints. Every single actor did a magnificent job in my opinion, even the guy who played Heo Ok. He played the annoying, cowardly spoiled privileged son perfectly. A lot were turned off because of the age gap between the main leads but I didn't care. I think they had great chemistry. They played their part well. And the writers took into account of her age, in my opinion, so there weren't any heavy, weird skinship scenes. Just cute fluffy romance scenes. I've always loved Kim Sae Ron's acting. She's one of those actresses that get better as she grows older. I don't think I've ever watched a show that she did that I didn't like. Yoon Shi Yoon, omg... he's just too cute. Kwak Shi Yang, he was the guy I liked in Perseverance Goo Haera. Lee Yi Kyung and Do Hee, I shipped them hard.
THE MUSIC
There's only 4 songs in the OST but I am in love with Lush's "Kite". I can play it over and over and the chorus of Lim Jung Hee's "Distressed/Moon(Sadness)", I just love the lyrics.
REWATCH VALUE
I would definitely re-watch this. I really liked the plot, the characters and to listen to the 2 songs mentioned above.
OVERALL
I was debating on whether I would deduct points for the ending. But the more time that I think about it, the more I think that it was a fitting ending. So 10 out of 10.
