The drama hooked me, I finished it in three days, I liked it but it didn't convinced me. Maybe because having watched a lot of historical dramas, I'm used to more deep and melodramatic stories.
I wanted to try this one after reading the summary.

It's a short drama, only 16 episodes long, and it mainly focused in the process of selection of the queen and the resolution of the cases in which Kang Eun Bo's family was involved.
It's adequate in terms of politic intrigues, nothing new, but poor in terms of palace and harem topics compare to other dramas.
The romance was so-so for me, they had their scenes, but I didn't felt the chemistry between the leads at all.

Lee Gyung (Male lead): his character was really weak for a king, which was really annoying, always being trampled down by others. I didn't like the actor's performance either, it wasn't natural.

Kang Eun Bo (Female lead): she's quite reserve and depends on others a lot. Don't expect a "Mulan" type of personality, she's more of a "damsel in distress" type.

My favourite side character was Wal. He was loyal, friendly and caring.

The music was beautiful and memorable, the song keeps playing on my mind.

The costumes and scenaries were eyecatching.

Rewatch value? No no, I won't watch it again.

I enjoyed the drama and it wasn't boring, I don't regret watching it but it didn't fascinated me.
