Good start, downhill from there...
Let me start by saying I had high expectations for this drama because of Park Ji Hoon, his work is always outstanding. The story had everything to be good. A prince with dual personality, an assassin avenging her father, the late king... how can this lead to such a boring script? There were to many plots going on, with to many people and no real depth to any of them. It became this boring romantic cliché thing that dragged so much it took me forever to finish. The only interesting character was Ak Hee but they even managed to hollow him out in the last three episodes. Honestly, why bother casting someone has Park Ji Hoon, known for his out of the box characters, for this? If not, for him, I would have dropped this after the first episodesWas this review helpful to you?

It would be a 10 if it wasn't for the ending..
I would have given it a 10 if not for that ending... Don't know why they would leave a cliffhanger like that... I've read other critics that say it was a sad ending. I don't know what to feel about that since, to me, it seemed there was no ending... I don't know if something got lost in translation, because I couldn't tell if Wu Bi survived or not... There were a lot of unanswered questions in the end, so I truly hope they are planning a season 2. If it ends like this... it will haunt me for a long time...Was this review helpful to you?

Pleasantly surprised
Because of all the criticism, thought this would be worst than first season. I actually enjoyed it more, first season had too much going on, wasting a lot of time with minor plots. Lee Joon Gi's acting is surely different from Song Joong Ki's, so the characters are portrait differently.Also let's not forget there is a 7 year gap between the events from season one and two, they are not teenagers anymore. Same can be said of other characters, they are not goofy anymore. Can't wait to see how Saya turns out on season 3, he's my favourite now ?
