Excellent drama imho, both leads are equally strong in their characterisation, there are some minors absurdities still this is really well done as a whole.
The only absurd character that really not necessary and just being sore (time filler) is ML's sister. Her presence is just so unnecessary and idk what's her purpose at all with all her screen time. Being young is not an excuse for her character. Selfish agressive with her pursue of love? I mean really when people are in danger at shooting event she just popping up like it is a party. After getting saved instead of being sensitive with situation she demanded to be treated kindly and her happy cheerful expresson is so misplaced. Never think about her brother situation at all, despite his concern of her security like everything will just go well for her and the way she just popped up again in the end just to jumpt on his brother's wounded body all cherrful, like seriously? Didn't even show her crying for the brother's aide that always be there for her. I mean we supposed to feel some kind of cheerful moments with her presence but it is not, but we only got severe annoyance whenever she appeared and her love story is just really unnecessary and unmoving at all. And the other one is that SML's friend. Really another unecessary character male version, but at least he has some change in the last few episodes, character development.

It's not an happy ending. They spend the rest of their life until they grow old, unable to be together everyday…
Why make it so personal? It is just an opinion. If you can't stand to have your opinion confronted, maybe a comment section is not made for you. Please grow up. An advice for an advice.

It's only a drama but it is also a bad drama. You saying that no one died shows that you have not understood the story of the drama. It is not that no one died. It is that no one ever existed because the occurence of time and space in which they all met was cancelled. It is like it never happened. The King, Tae Eul and Jo Young survived to keep memories of something which was erased in the multi dimension universe.
The King and Tae Eul can only meet on week ends and only in the time and dimension that are not their respective one. She cannot go this KOC. He can't go her ROK. They go elsewhere. So is that a happy ending? Surely not.
Proof that is was not an happy ending, when the bad guys attack Tae Eul in KOC, The King and the KOC mounted police charge them and the King says "Protect her, she is the future Queen of the Kingdom". But she never became his queen and she will never.

A love that you cannot live is not a beautiful love. It is a tragic love. What would be the true end that was not showed to the audience? Are you going to imagine something that pleases you? It amazes me how people find excuses for this drama and cannot accept its flaws including a terrible ending.
I really enjoyed watching this drama, yes there was some confusing parts but all in all the drama had sweet romance,…
It's not an happy ending. They spend the rest of their life until they grow old, unable to be together everyday and they can only meet on week ends in travels through time and dimensions to go eat ice cream or drink tea. They will never grow old together facing a same reality with kids and grand kids and all the people they fought alongside with now they never existed... is that an happy ending? is it? Think twice.

I think at certain point he (general Pei) did like her. But not love. Coz general Pei is a guy that is very cautious…
Oh thank you for your long explanation. Now i understand him better. Yeah i guess he liked her. But because of chengyin ofc he couldn't show his feelings to her
Is this happy ending? Sorry, I dont mind tragedy nor angst but Im a sucker for happy end...
It is in the sense the good guys win. But it is not in the sense that the ML dies. But you are not given false hope you are told from episode 1 he is a dying man. It is still the best c-drama I have ever watched.
@Alexandria this sounds totally creeps but I checked out your watch list and it seems like you prefer more action…
@ALEXANDRIA I love historical Chinese dramas esp. those with dynasty warriors. Was planning to watch this bc the OST is good. What put me off is the 78 eps, it's too long :/ and your comments here is very useful :)
When I was in primary school, my Chinese language teacher told us the actual history behind ZongZi and later even took part in Dragon Boat races, it was so fun ;)
Omg. Finally finished watching this and definitely agree with most of the comments here - the ending was totally WTF??!! Also after a certain point in the last episode, it got super dramatic and I ended up just laughing instead... It was good in the beginning but it got super draggy inbetween and then I think it just gave up in the end. Lol.
