Emoções do primeiro episódio.

Fui motivada a assistir esse dorama ao sondar as opiniões das unnies. O primeiro episódio já me conduziu a várias suposições, o que me deixaram receosa do que poderei enfrentar pela frente.

Smart, lovely women abound!

I enjoyed the opening scenes immensely. I was especially impressed with how quickly the foundations for the plot were laid out. I have a feeling I'm not going to be subjected to 4 episodes of political set-up, followed by 4 episodes of childhood and then a rushed story. This makes me really happy. However, with strong actors like Yeo Jin Goo and Kim Yoo Jung playing young versions of the characters and 20 Episodes to play with, maybe I won't mind so much if they linger a little on the early years.

My first impressions of the characters are that aside from the catalyst event everyone seems so nice. It's so refreshing to be watching a drama with so many lovely, intelligent people who are good judges of character and have something to offer. I already like all of them. I know that at some point they'll all be torn apart and I'm already anxious about how much that will hurt me.

Even though the characters are nice, they're not stupid, foolish or (thankfully) over the top. They're complex, and well acted. I recognise plenty of the cast in this and they're all putting in really solid, nuanced performances.

My favourite thing about this so far is that Yeon Woo has been set up as smart and proves her competency plenty of times during the first episode. If this keeps up I'll really love this drama. Good, strong, competent, women characters are so rare in K-Drama land. I can't wait for the rest.

Ah First Love!

We know that in the palace anything can happen...who plots against whom for position and power.

I'm rather enjoying the young people and their sweet story.

I do not know, but in the beginning I thought for a long time and entered into conflict with myself to watch this drama, because I do not like watching drama history, but the reason that prompted me to watch is the passion of the heroine (Han Ga).However this did not feel in this episode with any kind of boredom, was full of enthusiasm, also beautiful forms of child heroes, and even if their beliefs do not enter the mind, and unjust.I hope that does not like the same girl Brotherhood!

Amazing

At first I was a bit confused but after a while when the kids came in, I started enjoying it more. I'm sure that this drama will be beautiful! ^^
I really like the child actors that were chosen, I've seen the two main boys in other dramas. Lee Min Ho is such a cutie ?

a good start :D

At first I thought it's a little scary because of some bloody scene but after that everything turn out to be fine.. no really great maybe ? :)
I can't really remember the name of the character but I can understand the story quite well and I think the story I understand is really great !
A really good start I should say :)

Am I the only 1?

I figured out what was going on. I am glad I didn't get lost in the details of the story. We have 2 brothers that r of royal birth but 1 is on the wrong side of the sheets, so to say. The mother of the King wants her son to stay in power so she has his brother killed. Then we move to the next generation of princes. The eldest bro is not born by the queen, so he is not the heir to the thrown. It makes no difference who is born 1st, just who the mother is. I love that the princes have such different personalities, but the same heart. They r both very caring despite the position of loneliness they both face. I am rly enjoying this series.

very lost, confused and did i miss something?????

who, what, when, where, how, and why... that is running through my mind of this first episode. first of all the lady who died and told someone to protect someone i get but after that i didnt know left from right.

so if the crown prince is the younger sibling then the king had an affair with someone before he met his queen right so why is the older sibling (by the way name would be effective) getting the bad end of the stick?

BUT other than that it was a good first episode maybe i can keep up with who's who

umm... what?

I also had a hard time following who was who & why was what. I get the sense that there will be rivalries for the throne, and for love, but err... I could barely keep track of who everyone was. I thought the acting was good, and the story was interesting enough to get me excited about the next episode. I see elements of fantasy & prophecy which already makes this less boring than I expected it to be, but all the talking in codes & riddles can be a bit frustrating when you are trying to follow the story.

I'm sure it will make perfect sense in time... i hope...

not bad for 1st episode

Although im still confused by this first episode i must say it was pretty good; a lot of action and drama. There is also a lot more 'fantasy' then i expected there to be. The acting is not bad at all either. i have high hopes for this drama ^^
