Hi there! I haven't write many reviews here so i will try to be short.
This is my first historical drama, so i didn't expect to like it even tho I love the cast. But damn, i was loving everything right after the first episode.
For me, the main point of the drama is the cast. Sometimes, i forget to pay attention to the story (even tho, the story is really interesting), and just stare at their reactions, such a talented cast. The main reason why i started this drama, was Shin Hye Sun. I've watch most of her dramas and she never disappointed. No matter if it was a main role or a support, she always stole the spotlight for me. But here.... this is more than i was expecting. Her acting is insane and she better receive some awards for it. She matches her actions perfectly with the inner voice of CJH, is like they're the same person. Insanely good acting.
But another big surprise was Kim Jung Hyun. While his role may seem way much easier than SHS one, he's doing a really great job playing a dumb king, while his eyes really talk for his real personality. There's no need to say anything about the supporting cast, we all seen him before in dramas and we surely love them. So many talented people.
The story :
While i laugh, i really laugh a lot and is one of the most funniest dramas i ever watched, is not just about that. The stories behind the queen, the king, the concubine, all of them are so interesting. I find myself laughing a lot one minute then crying when the flashbacks with the queen appear. I didn't skip 1 minute for now, in 6 episodes. The story doesn't feel draggy at all, everything is well paced. The writing, the directing, the music, everything is high level and I'm happy that it's getting more and more attention in Korea.
I hope it can maintain the high level, for once, I'm happy that we getting 20 episodes, as long as they have enough story for it.
If you're not into historical dramas and don't know if u start it, trust someone who never watched historical before and loves it. You'll be in love after first episode. Enjoy ~
