I mean at the start of the drama around the first 35 episodes it was really good but originally it was meant to be 48 episodes but they had extended it to 52 which i felt was very uneccesary i mean the last four episodes were a total joke. We could see throughout the drama that Na Wang sik and the empress did have something special but he Na wang sik was in every episode up until then which made me very mad as they had decided to kill him off- and he died in the most unreasonable way possible and worst times i mean i think his death wouldv'e been better even if the emporer had him shot earlier- i mean his character was strong in the sense the way he had the grudge against he emporer because of his mum and he even mentioned that he wouldn't die unless he had killed the emperor and then he just ends up dying with that grudge with the emporer-with a stupid bomb (if u get what i mean). I think that they should've got another person instead to be him but i mean i didn't really like the bittersweet ending as no one not even the empress or the late empress so Hyuns father didn't even really mourn for him. And wow but what happened to Min yu-ra i thought she had died but it turns out that she had only lost her memory. Overall, i say i liked it and that it was really good its just it did spiral down near the end and the last few episodes didn't really amuse me.
