Political Intrigue Galore
This drama was enjoyable. The story was more stressful at times than I anticipated, and it’s very heavy on intrigue and political maneuvering. My main disappointment was that, by contrast, it was VERY light on the romance imo. In the beginning, it was very easy to compare this to the Forbidden Marriage. A LOT of early themes were very similar. But where the Forbidden Marriage focused more on romance and humor, this was more intricate and plotty. Ultimately, I think the actors did a tremendous job. Park Hyung Sik was fantastic as always. Heo Won Seo was a surprise breakout performance, and I actually liked Pyo Ye Jin better in this than in Taxi Driver. I'm definitely now a strong fan of hers. Overall this drama is enjoyable and worth watching!
