A friend recommending this drama is why I watched it. So straight to the point, It was funny, saddening and bewildering how cruel a person could be to gain what is not meant for them. I'm not a very political individual, but the ministers definitely had death away thing them. When the king would say enough is enough, and he will not let it slide. The only tragic aspect in the show was the replacement queen, she was a politic tool for her own flesh and blood. But once her usefulness was lost, she was tossed aside. I guess that how it was for that era, where riches and fame are only gained from associating with the royal family.
