Yes! it's long we all know that going in. Throught out the 51 episodes however I did not feel the urge to stop watching a single time.
It starts out as a simple light hearted goreyo drama that takes you on one of the sildest rides you might ever experience in that era. Through a Strong female protagonist none the less. We all know about the scene where the woman is about to get killed but the man swoops in? Well our heroine might have needed saving, but she was no amature with a bow, and in a dress no less!

I give this an 8 because while it kept me glued to my screen there were several unsatisfying story threads. Her first son was not capitalised on at all and it felt like it was left on the backburner too long to be relevant. Also her love interest, we are all rooting for #Chonah or #Peha was that all for nothing? If it was that easy to kill the king of goreyo why not do that the other 10 times you set out to kill him! some of these threads can get a little frustrating and as a personal touch I prefer my villans to be more humble in the face of defeat but all in all this drama and all it's 51 episodes are definitely worth the watch.

I highly recommend this for anyone who loves wild rides, strong female protagonists, Old Korea, Love triangles and gets nostalgic about Soap operas! I will be rewatching this in the future!
