Your typical historical kdrama with a plot that 'sounds' exciting
Started to watch it because of Jung Il Woo and because the plot sounded good but had to FORCE myself to watch it till the end.
Is the plot as exciting as it sounds in the synopsis? Well the bossaming part (Kidnapping a widow from her household so that she can remarry) is something new that I haven't seen before, but other than that there is nothing fresh. This is your typical historical drama where the powerful minister goes against the king. There are plenty of better historical kdramas to watch than this with the same plot. Only difference here is that the main lead is the king's daughter.
Is it worth spending 20+ hours of your life watching this? A huge 'NO' from me. Here's why.
Princess Soo Kyung(Kwon Yu Ri): Well this princess is tooo goody good good to the point it's very annoying. I hate it when one of the main leads is the type that ALWAYS forgives their enemies, helps eeeeverybody (even risking their own life), is sweet,nice, calm and poised.....ALWAYS. I mean I know she's a 'princess' but still we're all human beings at the end of the day. It's ok to show others how you really feel sometimes.
Ba Woo ( Jung Il woo): I don't know why but his character was not strongly written and didn't catch my eye.
The King: Is he a good guy or a bad guy? It's not clear. Maybe it shouldn't be clear to the characters of the story but we the viewers who watch the story from another viewpoint should get it. In the beginning he plans to let his own daughter die to get rid of his enemy, in the middle he suddenly turns to a dad who 'really' loves her and protects her. A father's love doesn't change like that!? WTH. STOP CONFUSING US.
Lee Dae Yeop(Shin Hyun Soo):Your typical average second male lead in historical dramas. He loves her, knows she won't love him back, always there to save her behind the scenes and well...... I'm not gonna spoil the rest. This character is very similar to the SMLs in Gunman in Joseon, Moon that embraces the sun, Dong Yi etc. What I'm trying to say is nothing new to see from this character.
Ba Woo's son:This little guy and his cuteness is like a drop of water in this desert but unfortunately we don't get to see him much after the first few episodes.
So to sum up,
Is it really worth your time watching this? Not really. If you're a fan of the main leads try watching the first 5 episodes, if it doesn't catch your eye then stop watching it cus the plot won't progress much after that anyway.
