I started this drama because of Lee Jun Ho like a lot of people but Se Young, Oh my God, Se Young was amazing throughout the whole show. Each of the cast were best for their role like each one of them. Junho did amazing as the king and Seyoung portrayed each emotions of junho like mirror and she shined more than him during the last few eps.

The cinematography was quite good and the accuracy too. Am not a Korean or Korean history knower but after watching a lot of saeguks, I can say that they didn't modernized the drama. In first, things go little slow and last three-two eps seems rushed but still this is not a problem overall.

OST was good and fitted every scene, no modern English mixed ost was there so it's a plus point.

I didn't read the novel nor knew that it is a real story. Some fictional things definitely must have added but if the real Deok Im was just like she is portrayed here then a big salute to her.

The character is so realistic and relatable. It shows the hardships of a woman. It is applicable to today's women too. How she was hesitant about giving her everything to a man who can never be hers fully and her fighting against the part of her which couldn't resist the temptation was really inspiring. But as everyone knows the last winner is a Man no matter which age you live in. I cried my eyes out when she waves her past self. Some of her dialogues will echo in me forever. Call me a saddist but I like sad endings bcs in that way the drama remains in me forever and aches my heart forever. It has an open ending, MBC tried its best to ease everyone.

So if you like to feel different emotions, then it's a big YES from me ❤
