This drama shows the politics in the harem which leads to the death of the Emperor. The Main Lead starts from being naive and then transforms into tough woman ready to take on the other scheming concubines.

I feel bad for two people here - One is Duke Gao(Yunli) who never got to be with his love and the other is Concubine Ning.

While Yunli loved only one woman in his entire life and considered her as his only wife,he suffers a lot because of separation and also drinks poisoned wine to protect his love.

While Concubine Ning always protected what Duke Gao loved -whether it's his love HuanHuan,his twin children,the silk trees he had planted for HuanHuan and also kills his murderer(the Emperor). She commits suicide after accomplishing her mission. Throughput her life she always loved Yunli though it was one sided love. She never wanted to have any children with the emperor and sticks to it.

HuanHuan needs thank her three maids,Duke Gao and Concubine Ning for her survival. Though she is the best and the smartest in the harem,yet these people help her stay alive.

Very interesting but the end could have been better

The story started getting boring when they reveal that her mom is that nurse. After acting so sane as a nurse she is suddenly revealed to be a lunatic? With what purpose was she acting as a nurse for those 20 years? Why did she reveal herself? To achieve what? Was she so confident that Moon Kang-Tae would stop being with her daughter if she threatens him? Or was she so confident that she will kill Moon Kang-Tae if he doesn't agree?
The whole plot around Do Hui-Jae/Park Haeng-Ja coming back to do something was unconvincing. Anyone who has observed Moon Kang-Tae and Ko Moon-Young know they were inseparable. Also Ko Moon-Young had a cold personality but she was never so insane as her mom. Her mom aka the nurse Park Haeng-Ja would have known it better afterall she is observing patients for so long now...

Thankfully our boy Moon Kang-Tae gets his wish fulfilled i.e. to travel around the country. Moon Sang-Tae got into a profession that suits him and he seems to happy now.

I wished Yoo Seung-Jae and Jo Jae-Soo got together. Both were cute and funny. Jo Jae-Soo was too busy taking care of his friend and I wish he finds his love and settles down.

They didn't properly reveal whether the last publication from Ko Moon-Young is a bestseller or not. From what I understood from Lee Sang-In and Nam Joo-Ri's conversation is that its not selling that good. Did Yoo Seung-Jae give back Do Hui-Jae's last work to her boss Lee Sang-In?

if Dr Oh Ji-Wang retires from the hospital then who will run it? His son is not ready yet.. it's better he stays there for sake of his patients.. Patient Joo Jung-Tae seems perfectly normal to me and i want him to get discharged soon so that he can stay with Lee A-Reum.

i think the older brother Moon Sang-Tae cuts short his travel to give the couple some time together. He might have observed both of them sleeping on each others shoulders during the night. I wish after this travel ends Moon Kang-Tae gets to attend the school of his choice and learn whatever he wants to learn. Poor boy has spent his whole life looking after his brother and trying to make ends meet. He has enormous patience to deal with his brother as well as the patients. No doubt why he is favorite caretaker for many..
