one thing loved the chemistry,and acting and they actually had love that was expressed in more than stares and those famous back hugs. this was a combination of The Glamorous Imperial Concubine and the perfect couple only these two were somewhat better,for me at least.but i still loved it and enjoyed watching it, but i mostly loved the first half of it and would rewatch it up to there,because the main leads where steaming up.
FLAWS(may contain spoilers):with wu jis character traits he fell in love too fast,perfect couple did it well.
i mean you wouldnt fall in love with someone who u believe is your enemy that fast, he also became gullible and changed too fast, even lang ling wang Gao chang gong was not this softened(he was but in a normal way) and he loved yang xia woo like hell.
it kind of went off track and became a match making drama really, i mean too many impossible love affairs.but aside from that totally recommend it

since its a remake the story gets 8. but over all this drama would get 11/10 if that was possible. we talk about chemistry but these two main leads ha over heating chemistry. not only with them selves but there ex-lovers as well. yeah their acting was that good. Most k dramas have chemistry but few have passion. this one hit it, the viki commentators kept on asking "is this a k drama??". the acting of sad scenes reminded me of kim soo hyun and his younger version in the moon embraces the sun because you could see and feel the agony and pain they were feeling. and not forget the comedy, sound effects, the music...sigh. apart from a few editing mistakes this drama was SUPERB!!! I WILL RE-WATCH IT WHEN EVER I NEED TO BE REMINDED OF TALENT OR WHEN I NEED A GOOD LAUGH.

Next: the character Do young ha portrayed by park seo joon. is bullet proof as in no flaws what so ever. okay if he was to have a flaw it would be that he is too nice hence hence gals get the wrong idea, yeah thats all i can come up with, even when he yelled u could see over flawing kindness, he was straight forward, mature yet very immature at times who ever wrote him is a good writer.
YOU ALL NEED TO WATCH THIS.

My my! This drama had one of the best stories ever written.on top of being great the main actress was really convincing, if I hadn't seen her in full house I would have thought she was blind, and Jo in sung played the trick star role so well! the chemistry and emotions where well portrayed. Hye kyo the actress played the innocent sister so convincingly. This is one of my best dramas so far it blew my mind!!!. I watched it over and over again. Overall, It was superb

I love the way it began, the designing and everything, the way they portrayed power. This drama had conniving b*****es, at some point I didn't know who to side with, I love the evil scheming! And fake smiling between the queens, the rivalry on top of that the way the king talked, he reminded me of Horatio Cane and chuck bus, you know the way they talk like they have 25 hrs a day. It had good music the acting was great, as for the re-watchable part I give it 7. Why you ask? The sad ending makes it hard to re-watch. Expect for prince dongpyung lol, I loved it

usually am not into dark and violent things but this one was everywhere on the Internet so i said why the heck not. and my was it a surprise. the bad guy who was portrayed by Jung Kyung Ho embraced this role. the acting was great,he was like the Korean Neo in matrix. well Neo smiled more often. the plot was so simple undercover cop but had so many twists. the fighting was brilliant.overall this drama was superb

I liked it. It started being funny from the very first episode. The sound tracks where soo simple yet effective, especially during the three officials scenes, I loved watching them, oh the shaman and her ghost issues,I also liked the way it ended, compared to how most dramas end, this one was almost satisfactory. So if u like, ghosts, comedy,and romance this is it for u. Oh and the actor and actress's acting was spotless, loved it

this drama was amazing it was like a unique twisted and different Cinderella story with a mean but also kind of nice prince. when i read the drama summary and watched it, even if the first episodes where kind of slow.i kept on wondering how is this girl going to fall in love with this boy, will she lose her memory first? oh will it be a life and death situation.if you've watched this you know what what am talking about. so that kept me going. i loved the acting. and also loved it.

Wow just wow. Before I watched it every one compared it to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, however Romeo and Juliet was not this intense. If only every drama had acting and a story line this good. seriously. I dropped this drama At first because I won't lie to you it's tragic right from the first episode, which is why it is the best politics romance drama I have ever watched. Have you ever seen someone thanking a person for stalking and kidnapping them. Well not thankfull persay really just glad, they had the strongest chemistry I have ever seen in all the Korean dramas I have watched so far, it wasn't like these romantic drama clichés, no. it was realistic enough. Overall IT WAS SUPERB!!!! Huh.,,

I finally did it ,After sixxxxxxty looong episodes I finally finished it, the story was great I loved the investigation parts, oh and the attendants where really funny., it was sad and funny at the same time. People think the politics we have now is rough, but hell has no furry like a concubine who wants to be queen. It was also one of those series that ended well. But it was long. I think it took two years off my life. And it lacked passion. And they all used the same facial expressions when they where thinking they all looked sideways then up. Then you would see the flash back. Other than that I liked the characters, huh jang ok Jong was a clever person really that's if this was really based on real history. I also loved the way it started i couldn't stop laughing. Then # bang ! It got serious people started conniving. It wasn't boring not even once there was always tension in the palace. I liked it.

Normally i hate historical drama. but every one was talking about it so i just watched it. this one had it all. it was unpredictable really. i was surprised from the start the characters were given back ground, the effects were superb. the acting was great,the actors had chemistry. it had humor. tragedy, fantasy, love triangles, mystery. did i mention unpredictable.they combined a really great cast for this one. i thought 24 episodes where long but when it ended i dint even realize i had watched them. wow! sums it up. there are no negatives. okay some but who cares.

this drama was amazing from the start the drama and comedy never stopped after some episodes like most dramas it continued all the way. they got a nice story and put in a very good actor Lee Seung Gi. i loved director bans husky voice hes scenes where very entertaining. oh the grandfather began the comedy from the first episode ,and the gumiho was like a scary baby learning new things i laughed everything she called "woong-ah".the music and sound effects were great. Daewoongs aunt min sook was also memorable. to top it all up the whole cast was great. totally re-watchable. especially the scenes with min sook and Director ban. uh who am i kidding every thing is re watchable
it was kind of superb

after lan lin wang and scarlet heart i thought no chinese drama will ever be as good,but this one has a story that ranks as high as those two i just mentioned,its sad thats for sure,and realistic, you see another dimension of love and sometimes you dont even know who to side with,the acting was really good, if so ji sub and kim soo hyun where to make a drama with the two main leads, that drama would be pretty amazing . even the children know how to act, and you see unfaked emotions,yeah it was SUPERB but i wouldnt rematch it past the first 8-10 eps

Despite all the frustration that this drama has brought me due to the main character loving people like loving food today this kind, tomorrow that kind,i have one word DONG FANG BU BAI, if every character was as strong willed and dint need saving all the time like her umm.. him? her? okay her. dramas would be miles away, she had charisma,my god she was awesome, she is the only reason i kept on watching,well her and the cool kung fu, the actress who portrayed dong fang bu bai is really good seriously she had me hooked in the very first episode little did i know of the disappointment to come, the story was fine, just that the ending was too rushed but i highly recommend this drama , half of it at least.

Ahhh where do I start, this drama was breath taking it had tension right from the start. You know the tension a drama has when it's about to end, this drama had that in almost all the episodes, there was un episode when I thought It was about to end seriously, I had to keep on reminding my self that I had mannny more episodes to go. I loved the cast. The bromance was spot on. If you hate tragedy. Do not watch. Because I tell you this one will make you cry but it will also make you lough and blah blah blah. The reason I gave 7 for its re watch value is it's too sad. Anyway the acting was good but mostly The story was SUPERB ...
