The story is quite good in terms that it actually depicts the reality of struggle for power and love in palace, as every person is just a puppet or manipulated by the hand of others or their own desires. Therefore, it's not necessary that the things will end according to u.
This show could have been a lot more better compared to what they have done, a good plot got ruined becoz of bad execution and in the end so many matters remains unanswered and confusing. Just like the character of 4th prince is quite complex they should have invested time in letting the viewers know his true colors and ambitions, also they should have shown how the crown prince is working hard to become compatible for his lady love and may other matters which i have already mentioned in the comment section.

This review is for Season 1 and 2. This drama is about palace politics and betrayals. The main characters are trapped by the delusions of the emperor and the princes all fall under the schemes of the bad guys. This is not a love story, although there is a main romantic plot and some other side stories, the plot is more about the fight for the throne. The story is poorly written and the characters went from almost comedic to dark and depressing on the second season. The best acting comes from the antagonist; the rest of the cast did not perform so well and the end, and the good guys end tragically. The leading lady went from very smart on the first season to someone lacking good judgment. Overall, the drama is not that good! Was this review helpful to you?
You also get to see a lot more interaction of prince 4. I ended up skipping parts because some of them got very repetitive.
Overall, i would watch it if you have time, but if not, its a skip.
