Wow! This is really a treasure trove. Love your articles. I'm waiting for you to create one for the Chinese, and one for the Japanese historical dramas based on real events and people (if you have not already).
OMG! Just stumbled on your blog and I love it. Have been looking for historical Korean dramas based on real events and people, and here you are. Thank you so much. You're a treasure trove.
Hey folks, this is really a very good drama. Don't overlook it because it was tagged "tragedy" previously. It's intense. The plot is good. The protagonists and antagonists are trying to outwit each other. The acting is good. The chemistry between the lovers is good. I don't know how it would end, but don't miss it!
Despite his cold and few words character in this drama, he is really a 'bad boy' (in terms of image) in real life. Love this young artist. He's so talented.
Episode 6, what's with Yuan Zhongxin's red lips? His lips were supposed to be covered with blood but it looks so fake that he looks like wearing lipstick!
The drama does exactly the opposite of what you just said. They do let everyone manipulate their relationship.…
Actually she was kind of 'forced' to marry the Emperor because she wanted the Emperor to rescue Wei Kuang. There were also other events which made her marrying the Emperor seem to be the only choice. The Emperor fell in love with her but did not force her to marry him. He knew her heart was for Wei Kuang. Even after they were married, he never touched her, because she dodged him all the time. I'm still hoping Wei Kuang gets to keep her in the end because they are truly in love with each other still.

30 episodes in, Ye Ning Zhi and Wei Kuang are still heart-to-heart with each other. No sign of them falling out of love with each other and/or she falls in love with the Emperor. I don't know how Ning Zhi gets impregnated by the Emperor as I have not read the novel, but I know I'll be so angry when/if it happens. Sigh!
Lol, I just rolled my eyes so hard I can’t feel anything these 2 eps. For RQ, I think Sophie couldn’t do the…
Though not as impressive as Goodbye My Princess, this drama is still pretty good. It is serious. No funny, stupid characters. The story is quite good. However, many viewers criticize the first male lead and his chemistry with the female lead. I do agree with them to some point, but I quite like the male lead myself (my first time watching Aarif). That asides, this drama is not as heart-wrenching as Goodbye My Princess, but, you may feel sorry for certain main characters in the story as I did. I think you may like this drama, if you get pass the first 1 or 2 episodes.
