It's rated 8.9 on MDL which is really high. I thought the FL did just fine in the series. Crown Prince SH pops up here and there throughout both seasons as this is based on historical events.

The Rowoon one wasn't my cup of tea; however, have you seen My Dearest S1 and S2? I thought that one was really well done with and engaging story.

The historical story should draw you in to continue. It unfolds through each episode through the 11th episode; thus, it does build and get better.

So true.

I thing the ML's acting is better than the FL's and her sidekicks fake crying scenes were downright annoying.

Thanks for the explanation. Your recommendation makes sense. I can see where people might be disappointed as it looks like it's backtracking in some respects if you saw the first season. I'll watch anyway. First ep looks pretty good.

S1, didn't he go back to his home town near the end and there was nothing but destruction there (Dad missing?). It's been so many years, I can't remember this cliffhanger everyone keeps mentioning. What were people expecting to see that made them disappointed.

The YT trailer looked a little choppy but interesting enough to check out S2.

This is a really good series in my opinion. I usually watch pure historical series; however, I started watching this to see if I'd like it and I'm on ep 10 already.

That episode was about as brutal as it gets. CuiLin made her move of marriage knowing that the brothers would fight for the throne but I have to wonder if even she thought it would get this brutal. The Z-army paid a heavy price.

Will do.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm forewarned.

I'm starting ep 29. Ep 30 must be ML's crying scene in the trailers that I keep reading comments about. I'm getting closer.

Agree, she had to make a brutal decision toward him.

Apparently, when they were were young fake CuiLin almost died a couple of time protecting the real CL; thus, I think her father had good thoughts about him before he went crazy. Fake CuiLin also almost died right before he disappeared and had to take that weird medicine from the tribe to survive. It seemed to kick his obsession that was building into overdrive but they didn't state that explicity.

Don't let the low raters get to you. 39 low review ratings vs. 1,410 users who rated the series is not representative of how most people feel about the series. It's rated 8.5 for a reason - it's a very good series overall.

RRY would be considered the best in my opinion. Although they appear to be equally matched while fighting, many in the series have stated that FL is more cut throat; therefore, she'd be the one to pull off the most brutal fighting in the end if he hesitated due to his milder personality if you're looking at the final outcome.

This personality carries over to his real life. Even after becoming famous, he was still doing small meet-and-greets with his fans and social media events that other actors didn't do after becoming famous.

...and equally matched. The fight scenes are top notch.
