Not your typical Joseon Era Royal Drama - it's all about Politics

I was really curious how the premise would unfold, and I have to say, I was really fascinated how politics were portrayed here. It was gripping and exciting until the end. Not only the main characters had their story and character growth, but also the supporting characters were portrayed in an interesting way. The entwined personal relationships gave depths to the story and made me invested in the drama.

I also liked the fact that the most characters had grey aspects to them, you can't say one is good and one is bad. Even nice people can make dumb decisions with grave consequences.

Motivations, backgrounds and beliefs were shown and helped me understand why characters made certain moves or decision. It was interesting to see how they dealt with the consequences of their behavior. Major and minor characters all had their own motives and we could see who was true to their core values until the end, who just had their personal gain in mind and who wanted the the greater Good to be considered.

There was one part in the second half of the season I didn't follow, I couldn't understand where certain actions stemmed from. but besides that I enjoyed it al lot, and I am satisfied with the end. Some plot lines might have been better if the Drama had more episodes though.

The portrayal was fantastic, the casting was really good and it was just a great joy to watch. I came to because auf Lee Joon, and found a very talented cast. I had a lot of fun watching Bloody Heart.
