Lovely cast, great costumes, enjoyable music, and a lively story that edges over into the fluffy zone doesn't quite add up at the end, at least for me.
Part of the problem is that the ML showed us the most emotion when his rat of a father killed himself. The, contrasted with the young king's steady and answering loyalty to the FL made the ending all fluff, and little emotional impact. Though I liked the ML just fine, I still wanted FL to get over what was really a physical attraction only (the ML didn't let her see any of his true self) and go back to Soo.
The ending flatlined with the look-at-me-I'm-so-clever marriage with the German speaking guy (whose German was really good, unlike our Flower Agency guy who clearly had no idea what he was saying) when what we truly needed was resolution after the devastating revelation about Go Young Soo. We really NEEDED to see that meeting with the king, and a glimpse of his new life.
