It's based on history so yeah, I was expecting the ending

I was immune to the sad ending since I already know the history of that era and like I said in the ep 19 review; Yeon Gaeso Mun will die and Koguryo will fall two years after his death. Also, the fact that Choong and the princess will die together. You can’t expect a happy ever after ending with a story based on history; that’s travesty.

The bad thing is, I clearly remember that they showed the princess at the beginning of the first episode where she was crying on Koguryo’s fall in a place full of smashed ruins after war, I am pretty sure that’s an obvious mistake because according to history, the princess died before Yeon Gaeso Mun and Koguryo’s fall. I am rather sad that the history let Nam Seng live more than anyone else when he should’ve been the first one to die. Once again, the history can be plain stupid.

Putting the history aside; the ending was quite logic, I mean how do you expect the princess and Choong to live together forever with all what happened to them because of each other? The tragic ending fits so well in their case.
