SPOILER FREE : Tragedy is beautiful.....but only upto a limit........

Hi Guyssss, How to END a show ??????? Kill everyone.......no human being, no show.... : )
No Hurry cuties, everyone will get a chance to die....come one by one.....

Jokes apart.....What this show lacks has been replinished in "Mr Queen". Don't waste your time, go watch that. I will never ever suggest this drama to anyone in my entire life, coz thats TREASON. My regret is immeasurable, my day is ruined.
This series is very realistic in potraying the hardship of life of people in early medieval age in China, specially misogyny. Its good in a way but its so much FREAKING realistic that it crossed the fine line between drama and the real world(Worse than "Heirs"). Here I thought dramas are meant to make us forget reality for sometime.
Such beautiful characters wasted.
Spolier Alert.....

EP 1-11 : (Rating : 9/10)
The first part of the show was more than fantastic.It gave me butterflies, made me cry, made me rewind so many scenes.
1) The walking in the snow scene was one of the best.
2) The scene where Wang Wook(8th Prince) was forced to betray Hae soo(his lover) is one of the most beautiful tragedy scenes ever written and acted upon. It broke my heart.
3) Wang So's makeup.
4) Wang So drinking poison.
5) Next was the scene where Wang So(4th Prince) covers Hae Soo from Rain.
6) The hanging of the head court lady.

EP 11-20 : (Rating : 0/100000)
Just half way in the series, right after the death of the first king, the moment I thought the series has started going downhill, it really did without an exception.
1) That scene was, when I saw that Hae soo is back in the place shamelessly and has completely resigned from her cheerful and quirky self, and acts like a well behaved, fully controlled, dignified, gentle GRANDMOTHER, always bowing down her head, also to the person she loves. A person from the mordern world would rather die than act this way. I FREAKING HATE these kind of romances. I can understand, huge suffering can make anyone like that. But does it need to be so real even in a TV show....like....SERIOUSLYY!!!
2) Every king(even Wang So) is a blood thirsty, power thirtly, unreasonable moron. Thus they go crazy after sitting on the throne and die. No tears, you deserved that morons. Lol.
3) Everyone kills everyone and then blames it on Hae Soo and Hae Soo be like "Oh yeah......I'm so sorry." There is no saving of a stupid girl who takes every blame on herself.
4) Everyone opposes Hae Soo's marraige but no one opposes Eun's marraige. Idk why Baek Kyung even signed for such a pathetic role.

The writer in the heat of writing forgot that she has to keep at least some people alive in the series for it to run . Still good for her, looks like the show ran just fine.
I'm not saying this show is funny........Medieval ages really had crazy men with no moral compass, women who didn't dare show any self respect, nonsense and horrifying torture methods and literally everything is treason. I'm just saying that its so realistic that I didn't enjoy it . Such beautiful characters wasted. Like what the hell did I just watch. I have been putting off this show for 2 years, guess I did right until yesterday.
Good night. --____--
