Why I was disappointed?
The characters:
The first 'Bad Guys' hit me hard. It was different. The criminals were not just senseless persons that went around throwing their fists- 'me man lets see who fists is tougher' while beating their chest. They were intelligent.
The story:
I am not comparing this to the first Bad Guys but I would think that if I am making something of the idea of something else then I would at least make it have something of the original. The first was an original the second was made from a blueprint of every other Korean drama out there. The only thing that was missed was amnesia. (I guess that would have been too ridiculous) If the child have not characteristics of its parents then it was probably adopted.
If you want a good action show I would recommend watching Heartless City instead.

This was a phenomenal drama.
I will admit I was skeptical about how good this drama was. I was watching it waiting for the shoe to drop, but my head is still intact and I completed the drama. I was truly amazed at how well written and acted this drama was.
Pros:
1. This was a drama about the throne without the 'drama' of the throne just the 'game' of the throne.
2. Although you knew the ending of the drama by episode 10 you still could not predict what would happen and the ending still surprised you.
3. Brains will always win.
Cons: There was no romance of any kind! I repeat! no romance even though there were marriages.

Some interesting characters
It was a good drama however I could not give it a full 9.
Truthfully I would have liked this drama much better if the main actress character was more realistic and not so annoying. As a fellow female of the 21st century I know one this for sure...no matter how much I spent for a bag or how much I loved that bag as soon as there is someone threatening my life I would leave it and run. The character always remembered to carry her handbag even when she is leaving life saving medicine and equipment. Seriously, who is going to ask for her driver's licence(British spelling..lol) in that period of Korea?
I also found some of the villain's actions ridiculous and repetitive. There were many instances when I was like...'Really? WTH!?????'
I thought the male actors were great, They were the ones that made the drama enjoyable. Lee Min ho did a great job in this drama but the King was really good. I like this character a lot and the actor made me really empathized with him although he was weak and useless.

what I liked:
I felt better when Zhang Guo Guo found her true self. she showed that you can be nice and at the same time not have others abuse you.
what I did not like:
There was one thing I did not like about the drama: the ignored rights of fathers.

This is the drama that made me fall in love with Korean dramas...No it was not my first drama but it was the first that had a great script and excellent acting.
