I rarely write reviews but only if i want to rant on something. If you're checking out this drama for something consistent and serious then don't but if you want a makjang storyline with dark characters and ridiculous acting then go ahead.

This drama was a roller coaster from the start. The mood swings in this drama make you feel like the writer was freaking hormonal or high. Ridiculous acting paired with unnecessary comedy and animation (i did not see that coming) and dark characters who make you believe they might be high, make this show a complete mess but in the end there is a strange pull in the story that keeps you wanting to keep watching it and stick to the annoying yet lovable characters.

Genre : Makjang, Rom-com, Politics, Fantasy, Action, Mystery

Story : Evil king with a corrupt monarchy gets married to a naive and innocent theater artist who realizes the corruption and decides to release girl power on the evil monarchy. Mothers who are blinded with greed and selfish personal goals ruining the child's life; crude, blunt characters who play their role well make you love to hate them. (Special mention to Princess Ari.) I don't have anything new that's not already written in the synopsis so i'm not going to repeat the same. Revolving around revenge and justice, sometimes it feels this story would've been better as a manwha or an anime and not as a live action series. Lookout for the most hilarious character transformations of all time and the hot make-out sessions.

Actors : Jang Na Ra can make the most annoying characters turn into impressive quirks with her smile and she did exactly that. There are emotional scenes which were handled pretty well and maturely.
Lee elliya is someone i personally used to see as an immatured actress but her character had a lot of challenges that she conquered them pretty well.
Shin Sung Rok was his usual, fabulous bad boy.
Oh Ah Rin as Princess Ari is extremely lovable to a point you connect with her and hate her and love her at the same time.
A lot of other small characters are worth mentioning but none of them make a solid mark like the Ohrayi (Oh torayi family) and Seo Kang Hee

Will I watch it again? Probably no, because it is hell too long; not worth wasting 20 hours of my life.

Will i recommend it to anyone? No, because this drama needs a lot of patience and maybe a mood where you won't logically analyze the action scenes (Some actually had me questioning my sanity).
