I have watched a lot of K-dramas in the last 2 years but this one has won my heart absolutely!!! The acting, music choices, story line and carefully orchestrated tensions are FABULOUS. I was crying so much during episode 12!!! Honestly, I just saw Descendants of the sun and also Secret inspector and Joy. Maybe the closest in realistic tension and drama might be Empress Ki or the Crowned Clown but Lee Jun Ho just totally kills the scenes in ep 12 along with the grandfather, the King. Hats off to the actors and Deok Im actress…must watch series!!!! Almost afraid to see ending scenes, don’t know how they can top this episode.
