Really funny drama perfectly done up to the end.
I finished watching the drama last weekend, and I needed some time to digest it before writing my review on MyDramaList!
I love it so much for one main reason: Shin Hye Sun. She was perfect. You can see the difference between all the characters she played (Soyong, Bong Hwan, and Sobong). I hope she will get an award for this role. The other actors were also really great. I never watched a drama with Kim Jung‑hyun, and I was quite impressed by his acting.
In addition to the acting, I loved that almost all the support roles got their own stories. And most of them were not here for the main leads. From my point of view, it is quite rare in kdramaland. And I LOVED how they ended some of the narrative arcs (some of them gave good advice). I love the way that they managed to keep the comedy part up until the end.
I'm only disappointed to see that we didn't get more information regarding Soyong at the end. I feel that she would have deserved a spin off episode just for her. For me, she was one of the most interesting and deep characters (with the concubine and Soyong's cousin). She deserved more credit.
The ending makes total sense for me because it matches my theory that I developed since episode 7. And I was quite surprised to be in the minority. I thought it was obvious because of the inner voice. Also, I prefer my theory because otherwise, the authors would have done some queerbaiting, and I don't want to see that in one of the best dramas I ever watched.
Anyway, you might not like this kdrama, but I will recommend you to give it a try.
