I am rare on writing a review and it's my first time writing it. I don't quiet know where I should start. Overall this drama has shown the complicated story. I'm not really fond of the conflicts since it's fiction. I'm always impressed with the story based on the historical fact. However, this drama is not really bad though I didn't find it as a highly recommended drama.
The plot is always intriguing, full of startling event. Each conflicts present a thrilling scene. I think it is succesfull in making some drama viewers keep watching till the end of episode. Jang Nara (Sunny) as my favourite actres, is succesfull in creating a hearthwarming Empress but full courage. Though some characters are contrastive but Nara Jang could use her role as a naive woman who got married with the emperor, betrayed by him and manipulated, to be e decent and determined woman. For some plot, I found some illogical things. The change of Na Wang Shik is one of it. At first time I watched the way how Na Wang Shik struggle to maintain his body and improve his skills, I think it would take such period of time. But I am totally wrong. Not until a year or even months, Na Wang Shik changes. The way how Min Yu Ra gets her depression and in the end of story immediately she changes into a full hearthwarming woman with the problem in her memory is something that I couldn't take as logical ending.
Finally, I couldn't say that this is highly recommended drama but it is quiet interesting, especially in the complicated conflicts of imperial family.
