This drama has some of the most engaging plot lines ever. A princess whose father is the prime minister as well as the brother of the empress while her mother is the elder princess sister of the emperor. You can imagine how adored this princess is. And we as the audience get to see how her entire world view is questioned when the people who cared for her are out to get her. Eventually she will find family with unlikely people.

This drama has a very beautiful cinematography, both indoor and outdoor scenes are brilliantly shot. The Ost and the soundtrack is really really beautiful too. I like this kind of romances, where there's not much misunderstandings and the cp communicates well.

But my favorite part of the drama gotta be the court politics. In the drama the country changes four emperors in a period of three years. The unrest, the schemes, everything is so well depicted. The politics inside the court among the several noble classes as well the politics with the outer forces from other countries, mixes so well together. This drama truly is a game of chess where everyone outsmarts the other. Among this is loyal soldiers who die innocently because of the whims of those in power. The cp spends a considerable amount of time apart doing there own things. But the politics is soo good, I assure you, you won't miss the romance scenes at all.
