It was interesting how this sageuk played out. It wasn't long and it didn't seem very historically accurate and to call it a historical romance seems wrong since the romance was so disjointed. I loved the story, I always love Cinderella type story lines, but I also loved the characters. The main characters of-course Yeonwoo and the Prince are likeable, but Yeonwoo is less so. I wish she had smiled more, been more loveable and sweet. The Prince was intelligent, kind, caring, sweet and oh so lovable especially when he smiled or joked. They did a good job with making his younger and older versions look alike. I wish he had not been so hateful to the Queen I am not sure the contempt he had for her was necessary. The prince's brother was fun, I wish he too had been even more jovial than his character already was. Like so many K-drama's there was a love triangle but this one unnecessary as well. I think their love story could have carried the show without the other brother also being in love. I loved that the Prince/King actually had a good relationship with his brother and with the friends. I loved Woon- I think a side love story with him would have been fun- but even by himself I just liked his devout character. I even felt sorry for the Princess and of course for Yeonwoo's family. I wish people had been more forgiving. Overall I liked this drama as a cute historical romance but some parts were slow and others underdeveloped. I wish the characters had been more resolute and more open. I would suggest this drama to people who like historical romance novels.
