They should have ended the drama in the episode where Anle was able to bring back the souls of the 80K soldiers. The rest of the episodes are no longer necessary.
I have watched Penthouse before this drama so my expectations are quite high. However comparing the two, I don't feel so much thrill and excitement in this drama. I like the setting and dresses though. He Soo is so elegant and classy~
I have high expectation for this drama and thought the female lead would be a cool family butler and while living in the mansion, these 4 handsome guys would fall for her. The first few episodes are really interesting, I even thought FL will be good with martial arts or something. However as the story progresses, it was becoming more disappointing. There are a lot of SFL scenes which these 2 guys were actually inlove w/ sfl. For awhile I was a bit happy with the 3rd kang cousin who is starting to fall for FL but got disappointed that he was never able to directly expressed his feelings for FL. I think this could have been better as there were great actors and actresses but the writing definitely is so bad.
I was looking for another drama to watch after finishing the moon embracing the sun which is a very heavy and emotional drama. Bumped into this drama the Crowned Clown and it is so refreshing and the story is unique for me. Hands up to the main lead for excellently portraying dual personalities. I also love the chemistry between the Queen! If not for the ending, this drama could have been perfect. I have seen a lot of Chinese dramas that did not have a happy ending but those endings were justified and meaningul. But for this drama, I am so surprised as I just think the ending is senseless and boring, they could have added a plot twist like for example Ha Seon can actually be the missing twin of the real King so that would make him a royal blood and stay in the throne working til his death.
Love love this drama so much. It is my first time watching a drama where I literally cried in every episode. The actors and actresses played their roles excellently. I am just baffled why some people here did not like the adult Yeon Woo, she is beautiful in her own way, and her every expression makes me teary-eyed. I think if they have chosen a very pretty face then I do not think I would get carried away in every dramatic scene I see her. I totally agree though that the young Yeon Woo is perfect and none can surpass her, she is by far my favorite! I am happy they gave longer childhood exposures so I get to see her more! Overall, this drama is such a legend! Gave it 9.5/10, reason why it is not a perfect 10 is that the ending was just too happy which I find unrealistic. Princess Min Hwa in my opinion, should not get a happy ending, she caused so much pain to the family which led to the death of their father. Yes, she was innocent back then but when she became an adult she mentioned that if she was to go back in time, she would do the same thing all over again.
I rarely watch Korean historical drama because I am more fan of Chinese historical dramas. However, this drama caught my attention when I saw this among the top 10 popular watch in Netflix. I got curious and started with episode 1 and got hooked right away and finished all episodes in 1 sitting. Love the Queen and the Grand Princes, each prince is unique in their own and lovable. There was never a boring episode and in fact, there is always suspense and will keep you watching for more.
I felt so heartbroken that Lin Shu died in the end.💔 I wanted for him to live on, be healthy and happy with Ni Huang.
Love Fei Lu so much, he is so adorable and I can't believe he has grown into a handsome young man in the Long Ballad! Overall this is such a masterpiece and great selection of actors and actress!
Such a heartwarming drama to watch! Love Chu Li so much! She is so adorable and I was hoping to see her in a wedding dress! Too bad we didn't get to see a wedding in the finale. The proposals are cute though~
