I actually love this drama! I've accepted long ago that Korean dramas will insert their love for draggy and boring political intrigues right in the second half of their drama series. Once I accepted that phenomenon, it's smooth sailing from there hahahaha.

As per usual in most dramas, the childhood arc is quite impressive, both in acting (except for the kid who played the ML) and pace.

Eun Bin is so so good in her role, she's like fairy when she's a girl and a very capable crown prince once she cross dresses. The moments where she's breaking down, and the ones where her princely training shines forth are all superb. A round of applause for her.

Rowoon is a fun ML, however I felt like there's a huge disconnect between the young Jung Ji Woon and the grown up Jung Ji Woon. I can't exactly pinpoint what it is. But for Rowoon's performance and character plot, I'm quite satisfied. I also appreciate that he fell for Crown Prince Lee Hwi first before he learned her secret.

I saw some disappointed comments on the ending. But personally, I believe they concluded their arcs cleanly. Sometimes just because you're good at something doesn't necessarily mean it will be the best choice for you nor does it certify your fulfillment. I like how it was all arranged in the end and our Main Leads finally got the normal happy life they've dreamed for so long.
