The drama focused entirely on its main theme: finding a worthy king for the throne. On this path, four people come together with the male protagonist and help him achieve what he is destined for. The story remains centered on the theme, emphasizing the issues, hurdles, consequences, and results faced during their journey, with a slight touch of romance.

Kwon Yul delivered the standout performance, as his character experienced more ups and downs compared to the others. His portrayal of a pure and honest soul—restless in the face of injustice and sometimes almost losing control—was captivating. He bore all the hardships of life, hid his feelings, and always displayed a cheerful face, despite his struggles. His performance was truly fabulous.

Jung Il Woo, the first male lead, played the role of the crown prince and later the king. While he is known to be an amazing actor, his character was not as impactful as Kwon Yul’s. Despite having more screen time, Jung Il Woo’s performance was somewhat overshadowed by Kwon Yul’s.

The female lead, Go Ah Ra, started strong with her badass character, but after a few episodes, her role became more stereotypically feminine. As a result, her impact diminished in the later episodes.

I wouldn’t recommend this drama to those looking for romance, but it’s a good choice for viewers who enjoy a story with a clear focus on its central theme.
