I really liked the beginning of this drama, but when the plot completely twisted with Cha Yool Mu, I had trouble remaining motivated to watch. I simply didn't like him as the antagonist (even though it's loosely based on historical context). His character change/reveal drastically changed the tone of the drama in a way I simply didn't enjoy nor find pleasant. I struggled getting through episodes 20ish through 31 - episode 32 as a finale was pretty nice. I didn't see the final plot twist with Cha Yool Mu either - well played. :D

Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the first 2/3 of this drama much more than the last 1/3 (though the last episode wrapped things up nicely, with the balance I found so enjoyable in the first 2/3 of the story). The first 2/3 were entertainingly comedic with cute relationships building. The last 1/3 was much darker with all the fighting over the thrown and people trying to take their revenge, which makes logical sense, but I missed the light antics from the series that seemed to be lost in the political struggles towards the end.

The OST was pleasant. Actors were also enjoyable, but no one really stood out to me one way or another. I'll likely never rewatch this drama, especially with how difficult it was for me to finish the last couple of episodes. Would I recommend it? Hmmm. It wasn't a bad drama... If the trailers intrigue you, give it a shot, if they don't, I don't necessarily think you're missing anything.
