I wasn't too peeved at the ending and I think perhaps I should have been. The ML and FL go through a lot together and are eventually parted by death. I thought I would get that out there early so that if you dislike unhappy endings you know the score before watching it.

I thought it was a good story for a short episode drama, however about 2 thirds through the body count started to pile up and it started to resemble a Shakesperean tragedy in terms of death. It's wise not to get too attached to any of the characters.

The deaths that affected me the most was the the prince's servant and friend and the princess's maid. They were a cute couple and sacrificed themselves for their master/mistress. Overall the acting was good and if you don't mind a sad ending it is worth a watch in-between a longer show.
