OK. 1st of all I am so glad to finally have this drama off my currently watching list. It took me like a month & 1/2 to finish the last 2 episodes after the drama was over. I have to say that it wasn't a bad drama, it was just long & drawn out. All the palace intrigue made me want to kill myself from waiting for ppl to actually get a dang clue. U would think after the same ppl committed the same conniving plot over & over again that some1 would just point @ them & the situation would be done. @ least the King @ the end knew that some1 was plotting against his fave guy (Ji Sung aka Ji Sang...LOL) & his son. Grats to the man for getting smarter after all that time. I wish that he had wised up sooner. What I just don't get is if ur the king y in the name of all that is holy do u have to follow anybodies kind of law? As king don't u make the law? That is how things would work if I was ruler of any country. What Mel says goes ppl & the rest of u mugs just have 2 deal w/ it...mawhahahaha! Oh well! It was an ok drama, but I rly am not into all the palace b/s that was part of this drama. Historical drama's r just not my thing. They r interesting in the fact that they have such a long history & can make a drama out of all that (unlike here in the US where we only have 200 yrs of history & it is all a bunch of convoluted b/s). Watch it if u want it isn't bad, but expect it to be rly slow at times & the whole story drawn out w/ a lot of b/s.
