a roller coaster story with alot of twists

I don’t know why this drama getting bad reviews, but I beg to differ, will just honestly share what I think of this drama, in my own opinion

At first, I was not hooked with the Young FL & ML’s acting, I am quite irritated how the young FL acted. But given her dual role as boy & girl, I tried to hold on until they get old.

While this was ongoing, I stopped watching at Ep8, because I knew I’ll best appreciate this drama once it was finished airing because I’ll be able to watch the rest eps in one go. Hence, I didn’t regret.

I thought on Ep11, everything was going well. I even told myself, the writer gave Dal-Yi few more episodes to be a girl, but… I was quite frustrated and disappointed when just after 2 eps, everything just go back to what it was used to be.

But I realized THIS IS A HEAVY DRAMA which requires A LOT of TWIST & TURN of story. I decided to trust the writer’s flow of story and director for extending this drama upto ep20.

This is not just a typical light story where she pretended to be a boy, has childhood first love, etc.

I barely got to ep17, because I just cannot take the heaviness I am feeling about this drama. But I kept holding on how this story will turn a happy ending.

So… I endured all the people that have to die, skipped the bloody battle because I cannot dare to watch it whole.

I thought on Ep20, everything was just a dream, I almost throw my phone! I almost hated the whole cast tbh! I was telling myself after all those bloody battle, cries, laughter, they have the gut to tell everything was just a dream?! How dare they?! Lol. But good thing, it wasn’t the case.

At the end I AM MORE THAN HAPPY HOW THE WRITER, DIRECTOR ended the story. They let the deserving people to die. Except young prince ofc. But TBH I AM NOT SATISFIED because Yeon-seo. was only given a few minutes to enjoy her new life as a girl. Grr. I was actually waiting for more few eps of her as a girl!!! Huhuhu

I realized, so the writer intentionally made the ML be great at curing sick people because of the ending.

For me, the writer carefully planned the flow of the story, and the director executed it well together with the actors. Given that this is a HEAVY DRAMA. Each character has its own persona and they all stick to it until the end. They became consistent with the character development. Plus the great acting skills of all the cast! Kudos to all the team.

Some people might not be able to appreciate this, but I would like to let you know, I am happy I watched this drama. No regrets.

Court Lady Kim, Bok Dong, Ga on, Hyun, all these supporting cast and all other cast acting were exceptional and I highly appreciate thier hardwork for this drama.

I hope to see them to another drama again, especially my personal bodyguard Kim Ga-On. Hahaha
