Well this is the first historical drama I have seen and I must say I wasn't disappointed. This is also the first drama that I watched that was airing at the time of viewing which was sometimes frustrating lol.

If I'm being perfectly honest I mostly watched because Go Ara was in it, I loved her character, she was easy to fall in love with. But wow, the rest of the cast floored me. The drama and intrigue was off the charts. Jung ll Woo was amazing, you really felt his burden and sincerity throughout. Kwan Yool was hilarious as well. I also have a soft spot for Nam Ki Ae as Queen Inwon, what a sweety and what a wonderful smile.

I actually really loved, especially toward the end, the relationship between Jung Moon Sung's character Prince Milpoong and Bae Jung Hwa's character Bok Dan. I know I was supposed to hate them but I just felt sorry for them, it just seemed so tragic.

The story was fantastic and you really were on the edge of your seat from week to week. I just loved the ending.

I definitely recommend this drama!
