K-drama Feels:

Story: The story is pretty easy to follow, a Queen’s ambition for one of her sons to succeed and become a crown prince. The story may be simple, but every character is picked apart and that makes it very interesting.

Acting/Cast: The characters were all complex and interesting. Absolutely loved Kim Hye Soo’s character as the queen, she’s different from all the queens in historical drama. Kim Hae Sook as the queen dowager was the perfect villain and I’m fully satisfied with her performance. I really loved all the grand princes and princes, their chemistry was so heartwarming. The crown prince is such a beautiful soul.

Overall: It’s very heartwarming and beautiful. I highly recommend watching it.

 

My Rating – 9.0/10 (This drama is full of everything you could want: suspense, action, romance, slow-burn politics, comedy, strong and interesting characters, and more. )
