Could have been better but 20 episodes was definitely TOO MUCH

This one had a good beginning and actually it was stable but after EP12 everything felt too draggy. The story was interesting in the beginning, simple but interesting, but they couldn't maintain at the end and I was a forced to finish this only because I liked the characters. The plot itself wasn't the strongest thing in this drama, actually it was the weakest, and I think 20 episodes was too much for this plot. For me the good things about this drama are the characters and their chemistry and the OST (which is AMAZING probably one of my favs of the year).

Talking now about the characters. I had mixed feelings with Dam I in the beginning because altought I understand she had to become cold and self centered to be the king, her character was a little blend in the beginning and I only liked her later. But omg Eun Bi was perfect in this role, she's an amazing actress. Ji Woon for the other side, was the opposite. I loved him in the beginning and all this "love beyond gender" was amazing. He was so cute and perfect omg I died many times. But later, he became too blend and it seemed like he was there only to be Dam I partner. I like cute characters but I think that he could be more than that. But of course, I loved them as a couple. I saw some people saying that they didn't have chemistry but I loved their chemistry and they were really cute together. Lee Hyun omg...he was perfect. I shipped Dam I with Ji Woon but I had second lead syndrome here because of of him. Seriously why they had to choose Nam Su for this role lol I knew I would fall for him the moment I saw he would be in this drama. So Eun was a pretty good second female lead too. I also liked the Courty Lady and her relationship with Dam I. The only character that disappointed me was Ga On. Byungchan was so hot here but his character only had beauty lol For me this character seemed lose in the script and I couldnt see anything strong in him.

Well thats it. For me the drama its not bad, it does have a pretty good beginning and almost all characters are interesting or good but for me 20 episodes was TOO MUCH for this plot and everything felt too draggy as I almost dropped if it wasn't for the characters.
