Cheers to Song Ji Hyo for playing a role like this, and Jo In Sung. It was great; passion, love, and betrayal at its best. In my opinion the King brought the chain of events on himself, he took a young boy and let him believe that what he gave him was love, yes it was love but not the love he truly desired. When a person discovers passion like Hong Im did, you cant turn away; he had never experienced anything like it before both with the King and the Queen. But I admire the King for the decisions he made, he seemed like a strong man who commanded loyalty and respect just by walking into a room, yet his one and only weakness was he lover and it was his Achilles heel. The sex scenes only disturb people who don't see it as art. Each sex scene was a journey in their love, each time was more passionate than the previous time. They were both new the "hip rubbing"; and like all novices they wanted want more, but their greed for it was too much. I enjoyed the movie and am beginning to like the Goryeo era dramas more and more each time i find one, it has a hint of Joseon era but less stuffy.
