Then the politics hits you and many many uninteresting side characters, no loyalty to anyone, you never know who is with who. then you start to loose interest but still the main story keeps you addicted so you don't want to drop it.
Basically I just FF the boring details and kept watching the parts I wanted. Still I hardly missed out on anything of the main story.
Ji Chang Wook is amazing, Yoona is ok, nothing special, but the main villain vamp is just too good. You hate her for all the horrible things she does, yet you pity and feel sorry for her at the same time.
What really annoyed me was the camera work, it was so shaky, literally making me dizzy at times.
overall: Revenge revenge revenge. Don't expect it to be like healer, then you are ok. Its addictive and the story keeps you interested but it has lots of boring details.

The Story: The story is quite beautiful, about a lost soul, who wants to complete what she started without leaving any loose ends. although I find the younger girl quite plastic looking, her acting was good, of course the Unni's acting was the best.
the lead guys didnt do a bad job too.
although its had humour it is laced with deep emotions of sadness and regrets. It is a romantic drama, although I did not find much chemistry between the leads.
All in all, a well written and addictive drama.
The ending is unpredictable and actually quite realistic, although sad. Even though I wanted a happy ending, it would not have gone with the flow of this drama.

Well it was not addicting like most dramas, and I found the charactor of the lead actress a little over bearing and the lead actors a bit too mild.
The charactors of the other pair were cuter. The drama dragged toward the half way mark and I had to skip a few episodes (didnt miss much of the story) and fast forward to the interesting scenes.
Music wasnt bad and the acting was very good. So if dont have anything else just give it a go.

I simply loved the young innocent King. So loyal and loving, just unconditionally. Wang yu I didnt care much about and the empress Ki, although ambitious is quite heartless and cruel at times.
Well the drama is all about greed for power and how it corrupts people. Like the saying goes, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts completely" sad but true.
My final thoughts: watch it if you are a saguk fan, but personally I loved Queen Seon Duk, princess man, Jumong etc much more.

I like the leads and enjoyed the first part, then the story got very predictable. So skipped a lot in the last few episodes.
Lots of loose ends, it feels like an incomplete story. The story could have been better written.
Anyway everyone got a happy ending even though it was kind of rushed.

My opinion: Cute and fuzzy. Feel good. Great chemistry. Girly friendship, and best of all such a lovely couple.
Overall a great romantic comedy, no villains, no heartburning situations or killjoys. Basically a drama which gives you positive vibes, inspirational and lots of cute romance.

Yeh!!!! for no baddies, heartburning or love triangles, just a great story by itself.
Lots of talk of it being related or similar to some other shows, but I enjoyed it a lot and it was a first for me so it doesnt matter.
I really enjoyed the heroes acting especially as he had to play many different characters. The heroine was OK, im not a great fan of hers, but she did her job well.
Go for it people, no wasted time here.

Ji Hoon was excellent, funny and cute.
The story basically focuses on the switch and how they live each others lives, which is the entertaining part. There is no romance and entrigues etc. unlike historical movies or dramas.
overall it was a fun ride, quite light and entertaining, and never a dull moment.

The acting is superb, especially of the evil king, he did the best job, I've seen him in many plays but this one is defiantly his best work
The rest did a wonderful job too. All characters portrayed their work so good that you loved the good and hated the evil ones with a vengeance.
saw and then re saw with my husband again and enjoyed both times equally.
Sageuk lovers don't miss on this one.
Overall: highly recommended.Enjoy!

It certainly is addictive and engrossing, but tends to frustrate you on a lot of issues.
I loved the part with the princes meetings, they were the lighter moments of the drama. Lots of intrigues and twists which sometime you like and sometime you feel...why??
The first love story su/wook is given much more time to develop and grow than the Su/So love story, confusing the audience who to root for. Besides how can a nice kind person suddenly change overnight. not possible. All in all I found the character of Su very fickle and indecisive, switching princes..its annoying. Just not well written, to top it off the actress although better here than her previous works, is so expressionless. I don't know about others but I had very little sympathy with her and found her choices annoying.
The end was kind of incomplete. Lots of things are left for the audience to figure out themselves. I would have liked it better if they had some parts of the present day life between characters.
Overall I liked it but not as much as the other sageuk I have seen earlier. Don't expect too much but deserves to be watched atleast once.

I just dont know what to make of it. I feel bad because so much effort is put into the making of a drama, the actors, production teams, music etc etc, but guys it didnt work for me.
I love teen dramas, BOF, Hana Kimi, Dream High, Shut Up Flower band etc. but I dont know whats wrong here.
The actors are cute but the story so predictable and forced comedy.
This first love thingie is also getting too out dated.
I wont stop others, as so many of you out there love it. This drama is just not for me.

This was short sweet and totally adorable show. I wish they would make more like these. There were no extra fillers, the story was focused, cute and interesting.
I really liked the grouchy bad tempered hero and for a change an innocent and lovable heroine. She was naive yet not dumb or stupid.
This was definately a feel good mood boosting drama. I finished it in one go as I could not stop.
Overall a must watch for the romantics and people who are feeling low. It will certainly cheer you up.
