Not much romance but interesting enough

I really like both leads, especially the FL. She had a certain aura about her, no need for overacting, and there was a very calming and peaceful beauty about her. I thought PHS also did well as Crown Prince Lee Hwan. I would have liked to see more romance, a few cliches perhaps ;) but there was that undeniable intensity, attraction and care for one another. The romance was very slow burn, but we do get a sweet kiss only on the final episode. So if you’re looking for romance per se, you won’t find it here.

What kept me going was the crime & mystery solving storyline. Found that intriguing and engaging. There were a few different plots and storylines which were interconnected and blended well together 1) the murder of Jae Yi’s family and how she was framed for it 2) which led her to find the crown Prince to help clear her name. That in turn developed into their love story 3) the slaughter of the people of Byeokcheon by Cho won bo 4) the revenge of the people 5) cho won bo’s greed for power of the throne

To watch or not? I would say yes! There was a fair share of fighting as well. The side plots were interesting too. The only parts I didn’t fancy were the ones with Myeong-Jin and his (stupid laugh) hahaha found him annoying. Other than that it was a good solid 8/10 for me ;)
