This was a heartwarming drama! It had good quality fun and humour in the first half and lots of feels in the latter half. Romance was beautiful and chemistry between the leads was the selling factor for me.

I enjoyed this drama more because after every 2 episodes, there used to be these really really sweet BTS vids, showing how the cast were having genuine fun behind the scenes! Especially the lead actors were really cute in all those bts vids and made me happy after watching those emotional scenes towards the end.
So, even if you are going to binge watch, do take breaks in between and watch those precious bts vids, they will surely make your day! I'm not their offscreen shipper or anything because I know real life is a lot different for those people than what we see for just few minutes but nevertheless it's great fun to see their camaraderie and of course reading those YT comments below those vids make it more interesting ! ;D

Acting: Everyone was good. Everyone excelled in crying scenes which I think is a benchmark for judging an actor's skills. The whole widow village cast was fun. Our humourous trio of the lil girl, her dad and our one true fan of Mrs Kim were really hilarious and provided some really great situational comedy!
Actor who played the king is of course famous and his acting was befitting his experience. He had only few scenes but they were really impressive.

KTH was really good and the spectrum of emotions he showed from the beginning to the end was fabulous! His character's love story needs a new show with happy ending.

The main leads were really awesome and their chemistry is something that needs to be explored in new dramas.

Music: I remember hearing the same song in different tones from sad to happy throughout the show and it was pleasant and non hindering to the narrative.
