I don't usually write reviews but this drama has stuck to me especially. I never imagined that just a drama would be capable of giving me so many feelings and intense emotions. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but something about the characters and the whole story really just made me think about the drama a lot more than I expected.

The plot was very interesting and kept me intrigued every minute. There weren't many boring time filler scenes and I watched with much anticipation. The characters developed well and were capable of making me change my point of view multiple times. There weren't many flaws in how the story progressed, however I don't like how Wang Shik's story ended, it felt rather incomplete. Other than that, I think that it's a big plus that there were a lot of funny scenes as well as the serious, intense ones. No matter how serious the situation was, it always made me laugh how the Emperor kept breaking stuff for no reason. I haven't watched many makjangs, but I definitely enjoyed this one.

The cast has done an incredible job, especially Shin Sung Rok. He was a perfect fit for his character, portraying both the serious and silly sides of it. Shin Eun Kyung's acting also impressed me a lot. She is indeed very experienced, but she really made me feel her character's emotions. In my opinion the whole cast were perfect for their roles and I will be anticipating their future works too!

Overall, I loved the drama and I would definitely recommend.
