I'm kind of conflicted on how I feel about this drama.. As of now, I'm not sure if I like or dislike it. I mean, the first episode wasn't really that bad. It displayed good acting and everything, but as the episode went on, the plot got a little messy. I think they introduced way too many things into 1 episode, and to be honest it made me very confused quite a few times. But what I did like most was Jang Ok Jung's past introduced... I even shed some tears because of how sad it was! I will definitely stick around for the next couple episodes though, hopefully it gets better as more episodes are aired.
"So many cute outfits so little time." This was what was in my mind on the first few seconds of the first episode. I already knew from the first sageuk drama I've ever fangirled(if there ever was this word) that hanboks are one of the prettiest outfit this world has. Yes, my attention was kind of drawn to cute little outfits, but nevertheless the start was good too, but not what I expected as breathtakingly good. At least, Yoo Ah In was breathtakingly handsome. :)
A lot happend and I see I'm going to dislike a lot of people
This episode starts the background information on the people involved with the story. We see Jang Ok Jung's encounter with the bitch from hell. Okay, I have not learned names so I guess I'll just refer to her as that. To say the woman does not like Ok Jung and her mother would be an understatement. I immediately dislike the Uncle but at the same I understand his reason for revenge. SO I guess him and Prince Bokdon will join forces in the revenge for Hong Joo, the Uncle's daughter but it looks like he intends to use Ok Jung. Overall, it was a great start. Let's hope it does not go the route of Great Seer. Loved it then hated it and stopped watching.....
