Fairytale kind of romance
I loved this drama. If you're a sucker for romance and a clichè type of storyline, then this would do it for you! Plus, I never realised how charming Park Bo Gum is till I watched this drama! The two main leads have really good chemistry.Only thing is, the female lead started out bold and gutsy at the start, but halfway through she sort of lost her voice and was always appealing either scared or sad.
However, it's still a good watch, with plenty of cute scenes between the leads!
OSTs were alright, nothing that memorable.

Cute Political office Rom Com
I started watching this after I saw Park Sung Hoon in Diary of a Psychopath and he definitely did not disappoint in this one! His character is totally the opposite to that as he plays a cute, shy office worker here.The two main leads have really good chemistry and there were some really cute and funny moments between the two. I love Nana's cute laugh and her acting was really good.
Overall this was a pretty easy to watch drama. A bit on the political side but it was interesting as you see the tough side of being a politician. The storyline was good though the last two episodes might be slightly draggy to some who get bored really fast. But like I said, it was an easy watch so I was ok with it.
Also, this drama had nice OSTs.

Really good healing drama
This drama was just awesome from start till the end! Loved how the main characters grew with each other and learned to really love themselves and the people around them.Even the side characters were very interesting and were all thoroughly developed.
The drama had funny elements to it and really, really touching moments as well where you literally can't help but have tears roll down your cheeks.
The main characters matched so well and you know they have good chemistry when you wish they are an actual couple in real life.
I have nothing bad to say about this drama as it had it all!

really good Sageuk drama!
I have watched a number of korean historical drama but so far, I feel like this is the best one. The romance was ok only so don't expect much from there. Go Ara started out as a feisty character and halfway she sort of faded away and somehow "lost her voice".Other than that, the main storyline was really good and it made me go read up on the main character in real life. Every episode kept me on my toes and I loved how the people around the king helped him. Jung Il Woo really does a good job here and his character is really likeable as he displays courage in the midst of adversity.

Average drama
The starting was ok and I still thought it had hope. But a few episodes in and you're like ???..I still watched it though cause it wasn't thaaat bad but average.What I liked was the relationship between Park Seo Joon and Go Ara. It wasn't the greatest but they did have a few cute moments here and there.
There were a number of weird or ??? moments when watching the drama. Firstly, the Queen and son have this weirdly distant relationship and it's not properly explained. Then you have unnecessary actors who join the plot who don't really add anything much like the Princess.
Ok what was really the worst for me was the background music and the songs. Seriously a drama with the worst background music. Either it came on and off at the wrong time or the music was just wrong and didn't match the scene.
So overall, watch if you're bored cause it's an easy drama to go through but don't expect much.

Just finished this in 2020
Overall it was a good drama. Had a few sweet scenes between the main leads. But, the ending just made me rethink and rethink how it could have been rewritten. As others have pointed out, if they had probably ended the drama at 18 or even 19 it would have still been ok. I just didn't like the ending.At the end, I really felt sorry for the girl. King Wan So should have given up the throne for her if he loved her so much!
Music was good. Quite a few memorable songs.
Just watch it of you haven't, but be prepared for a cold ending that leaves you wanting more or maybe even frustrated like me!

Funny and cute drama
This drama has some really funny bits that will have you giggling non stop. Overall, I thought it had a good storyline, and though certain parts will maybe be cliché to some, I was just glad this drama didn't have the typical "let's break up for no apparent reason and get back together" kind of plot.The main characters had good chemistry too and Daniel Choi really looked good! The romance between the 2 was really cute and funny at times and I felt both characters played their roles well.
You know an OST is good when you want to download it so that's exactly what happened.
So in all, it was a really good lighthearted Office Rom-Com.

Funny yet Thrilling
At first glance, you would think this was going to be a really serious drama but it wasn't. It had funny bits here and there, yet at the same time, managed to keep you at the edge of your seat wondering what would happen next.I think all the actors did a good job and as usual, Yoon Shi Yoon doesn't disappoint with his acting skills. Though his character and the detective do not really have a serious romantic relationship in the drama, they did have good chemistry together and it left the viewers wanting more, which is a good thing.
The villain was a pretty interesting character and at times you just find him pretty psychotic so yes he plays his character really well.
