The relationship between the Crown Prince, his guard and the second guy kind of reminds me of the one with the Crown Prince, his half brother and their other friends in Moon Embracing the Sun - that they were all good friends at first and then the others drifted to Crown Prince leaving the second guy all alone (and giving me all the second male lead syndrome)!
Plus, Kim Yoo Jung as the common love interest.
This second guy intrigues me just because he knows, lol. Plus he gives off the same arrogant pretty boy vibe of Song Joong Ki in Sungkyunkwan Scandal (that scene with the umbrella, so much sass!).
The annoying characters like Ji Woon, Hye Ji, Yoo Na etc just make me dislike watching this but then I'm hooked because of the good ones like Ha Won and Yoon Sun.
Kang Seo Woo feels so much like Kang Shin Woo from You're Beautiful.
Kang Seo Woo in this drama. Kang Shin Woo in You're Beautiful.
They are also kind of similar in character plus both actors are CNBlue members. I sense potential for drama crossover fanfic.
I feel like I'm going to have a serious case of second lead syndrome! cause I like more the couple of So Dam and…
I had the same feeling! Ahn Jae Hyeon manages to balance his arrogant jerkiness and charm so well that I can't outright hate on him. Plus, I love the way she takes him down (literally, lol).
Also, Jung Il Woo's evident longing for the second female lead didn't really help to endear me to him any. Maybe he'll grow on us later on?
Please, Ha Won, stay strong and don't dissolve into a Geum Jan Di!
Agreed, Jan Di had so much potential in the beginning before she kind of dissolved into a constant puddle of tears and it's one of the things I really disliked about BOF. Hoping that doesn't happen here!
(I totally messed up Jan Di's name in my original post, whoops)
I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this that I give it a 9/10. It's one of those dramas that can make you feel happy but then there are times you want to strangle certain characters. The OST was also a big hit with me - if anyone knows the Hindi song Pehli Nazar Mein, you'll recognize its beat in one of the songs.
Byun Hak Do was actually not as crazed as I was expecting (my main reason for watching this in the beginning) and the main couple's scenes were very adorable. I really liked the hilarious sageuk scenes in the ending of every episode!
Random thought throughout this drama: Jae Hee looks so much like Ryan Higa in this drama.

It's not the greatest translation if I remember correctly but it's an amazing novel nonetheless! Happy reading!
