I’m very bittersweet about putting this drama off to the side because I could only keep up with two as I finished my spring semester. I’m happy I did because this drama intrigued me more than the others and I knew I would reward myself with a marathon and finish it after my finals. Though the last episodes, what an emotional weekend! I have never cried for a drama as I did in the last 3 episodes of this one. First off, this is a political drama where there is romance, but does not only consist of love. This drama consists of the main character, a spoiled prince leaving his immaturity behind and becoming the new king. When he joined the WOC, he wasn’t interested in ruling or being in charge of anything. Once his brother passed away, he had to face reality and take over. It’s a political action thriller type of drama. The main two characters, played by Hai Ji Won and Lee Seung Ki, had AMAZING chemistry. Hai Ji Won played a badass character. Now that is a femme fatale. All the suffering they went through paid off in the end. And what a risky move to make a drama with the making allegiance of North and South Korea. Bravo to the writers. The second couple, reason I bawled my ass off, the princess and the soldier, played by Lee Yoon Ji and Jo Jung Suk. My emotions…seriously, those two were perfect. Ying and Yang; they balanced each other perfectly and both actors had AMAZING chemistry too. But they had to kill him. WTF! It was a complete flashback of prosecutor Kim from City Hunter. And then they had to wound my fragile heart twice, not once but twice in episode 19 with the recording of his farewell and again in the last episode with his “ghost/” “daydream” appearance. I wish both actors make another drama together as the main leads, seriously make it up to us fans. Like I said, what an emotional drama. The first king, great character that at least died peacefully with his wife but didn’t deserve death. The english speaking actress, Bon Bon—great job! Her crazy persona was played very well. The other soliders were hilarious. The villain played by Joon Je Moon—best psycho villain! I hated his character, and I wish he would have died but that would have been to easy. I’m glad his character would rot in prison. I applaud his acting, bravo! Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend this drama. If you like City Hunter and The Sun that Embraces the Moon, you’ll love this one. It’s about solving political corruption with a great ending (not taking into detail of Eun Si Kyung dying). It had a great mix of diversity, something rare I’ve seen, action, psychological thriller, romance, craziness, and much more. A great cast nonetheless that exceeded my expectations in their acting. If you don’t like these genres, don’t watch it. I like to watch all the drama on Viki due to the commentaries, but many complained about how “boring” it was. GTFO if you’re not into thinking that result in cunning scenes. Moreover, I will anticipating the following dramas by the actors in this one. Great drama, I applaud again the writers and the actors!
