Review :) Monarch: Owner of the masked.
This is a typical Joseon setting drama with a series of twisted events, heavy drama, unrequited love and awesome battle scenes. I enjoy how Ga Eun and the Crown Prince fulfill their Joseon love story. I this one much because they've manage to pull the emotions despite of the plot. :)
********Highlights:

*The shyshy couple - hahahaha I hope that this ship of mine will sail. So Hyun is really great and Seung Ho really prove to be a great leading man here. Hahaha si So Hyun lang talaga eh

*Camera shots - Camera angles and battle scene shots were really superb.

*The man named Dae Mok - Woah, this sickin' villain is more than just your super power and super influential one. He'll sure make your blood boil million times because of his wisdom and cunning ways and techniques. He indeed is fearsome.

*That poison thing is money in our time - they've made a plot that is parallel with what's  happening today but in a different way and it says a lot from what we do and act nowadays.

*HWA GUNNAH! - this is not your ordinary girl in the block coz' she's got some long claws, poisonous fangs but a super duper loving heart. Yeah, for me, she's the strongest female kdrama second lead. You'll hate her, love her, hate her again, like her a bit, hate her again, thank her, love her and super love her at the end yeah! Way to go Hwa gunnah.

*Cunning Kko Mol - she maybe is sweet and playful but she's indeed slick and cunning. A good observer but a bit frank little girl that made us smile several times not just because of her cuteness but with the way she teases.

*That mask thing is a freak - well I get it but it was really.... we'll just leave it there since it's  part of the title :) .

*Burn poppy burn - this is my favorite scene of the drama. Hwa Gun fully knowing everything burned the heart of Pyunsoo Group. Yeah and her "smirk" is priceless. Unrequited love plus failure will surely make you furious so... come let's burn some field.

* Kim So Hyun's face actions and heart stopping smile - this is not your typical Kim So Hyun drama were she takes the spot and shine bright. Here she's a dormant virtuous lady that has the face of an angel, wisdom of a hermit but a heart of a mother (well, let's add that honey coated and sugar filled smiles). Though her character was really restricted to grow here, she made it happen with the experience she had. She related her emotions well :).

I'll gave it a 8.7, since they've got really had a hard time punching some lines here. Seung ho and So Hyun are great with adlibs, Ga Eun's story should've been improved, short childhood moments, Dae Mok and late kings story was not elaborated and what Pyunsoo Group really is. :)

Well done KSY and YSH!!!! #fordramalist
