This story felt different. I love the fact that i get to explore through joseon times and see marriages and how couples get together. The acting was great. Great music, costumes, production. But most importantly, this story doesn't feel like a repeat of all the others, they finished it well without questions as to what happened to characters and it was just great flow.
Only con is that annoying boy with the lipstick, calling the boys big sis which aslways threw me off and felt weird (like trying to fill an lgbtq quota for a period drama) *eye roll*. That's why they get a 9.5 and not a 10.
There was not an episode that felt drawn out or like an afterthought, which is what I've been observing with some dramas. None of that here.
Love love love. Would totally recommend.
