A BLOODED PALACE
The series primarily narrates infighting between Royal wives in the Namyeongbu (Inner Court). For some Reason you get to enjoy watching women vying for power and supremacy and another reason that I loved the series was because I was so caught up with the endless scheming of the female leads and the villains.There is so much Political intrigue and the Constumes were very splendid moreso the dialogue and while the drama tends to depict how strong the women are, for a while they have stolen the show from men who tend to dominate in a number of sageuks.
The Plot too is very original and even though sticking to historical accounts you don't feel the story too boring you are simply caught up in the endless drama and every character is loveable because for some reason the intensity of their ploys got me hooked and on edge.
The drama being 60 episodes isn't as boring and surely you might feel discouraged but I don't know why I am a fan of long series that is between 50 to 90 Episodes, moreso if you feel like tasting what a real poisonous harem is then this is a very good series to pick up courage and watch
Lastly the schemes lack monotony so you won't see them repeating themselves over and over again which makes a large number of them original you won't stop loving them.
I'd highly recommend this sageuk if you haven't yet tried it.

A queen
The narration and its subsequent transitions were overdone and jarring. Regardless of the historical accuracy, everything was portrayed and delivered as poorly as possible to maximize the trashiness and spitefulness, guaranteeing to make you hate the palace power-struggle themed dramas just a little bit more. This was a very painful and redundant 60 episodes. There was a big massive disconnect of the characters' writing after the timeskip. The awful OST the drama didn't help enduring its journey. With the ridiculous overdramatization of the last 5-6 episodes, the drama reached its ultimate clown status. I pity those who had to endure this drama serializing weekly.Was this review helpful to you?
