Even with the tough reviews online… it is worth watching

I did not check the reviews before starting… trying to avoid being biased and all that.. just read them afterwards… and a lot of what has been said is true.

Let me clarify that I have not watch the original Chinese version… only this one.

It is true… I was very frustrated with this “love story” between Hae Soo and Wang So…. It did not happen until mid season. It came to a point that I actually thought I read it wrong..l that she would end up with The brother Wook… but no… finally after more than 10 hrs, it happened.

The best in this drama comes from Wang So… he is amazing.
I was rooting for him since ep1….

But Hae Soo… well… it took me very long to like her. She is supposed to be modern-contemporary woman… and in the beginning she was… but also very naive and clueless to the actions of others. Very self centered.

She meets 7 princes.. and after 3 episodes, almost all of them started to like her. Like she would just smile to them and they would be immediately smitten. For princes that had any woman in the kingdom at their disposal… it was hard to believe.

The actors playing the brothers were also very good. You will immediately like/hate them .

Having said that… this story has the most iconic scene I had scene ever…
Wang So covering Hae Soo from the rain, while she is on her knees in front of the palace.. beginning for the life of her friend.
No words were needed…. His action spoke of his courage and his love for her.

This scene made it worth watching…

I admit, I cried at the end… Wang So’s karma came back to bite him in the ass…

And yes.. the ending could have been different.. it is obvious they made it in mind of a season 2 that will never happen… leaving us with unanswered questions.

Do I recommend it? Yes…. Wang Wook and Wang So make it worth it.
Will I watch it again? No
