Worth the watch if looking for something light...

I badly wanted to love this because it had Yoo Seung Ho (I'm Not a Robot) and Lee Hye Ri (My Roommate is a Gumiho), but a lot of the time I was just zoning out and not paying attention.

I didn't have a hard time stopping between episodes compared to other series that made me go: "Just one more episode". It was fun and funny; I liked that the show shared my humor when there are really sad moments that I cry but they allow room for comedy and so I'm a crying/laughing wreck watching the scene.

Overall, it was okay. I love the plot twist, it caught me by surprise so kudos to that, but I was really more invested in the stories of the side characters (Crown Princess, Minister of War's daughter, the Queen, the two servants, Gye Sang Mok and his crew, the head gisaeng and the assassin) rather than the main ones or the main storyline. Once the plot twist was revealed, everything just seemed predictable after that. It was still fun to watch though. The last 2 episodes was a rollercoaster of emotions that I dearly loved, but leading up to that felt sort of slow and dragged out.

It was light, a complete no-brainer that had its own charms, but it just couldn't hook me as much as I initially hoped.
