Explaining this without spoilers will be hard, however I will give it a shot. The acting for this drama was amazing and for once I fell in love with the female lead and support characters, as well as secondary characters. Even the support characters did their job well, even if their role was a little undefined. Some of the characters had great explanations…then you are left with a huge handful of characters, not knowing who they are or what their actual purpose is.

As for the plot, I am greatly disappointed. This drama is one that had so much potential, but turned sour in just a few episodes. For the first 5 – 7 episodes, I sat wondering when something good would happen. Many elements of the drama were left unexplained and by the end, there were more holes than swiss cheese. There were some parts of the drama that had been done well and I quite enjoyed seeing the battle of the royal figures (can’t really explain…cos spoilers). But some parts just left you at a dead end.

The ending of this drama was also a little too disappointing. It could have been done a lot better and I feel as though that the drama was finished way too early. To put it simply, more episodes and a lot more planning in the plot and it would’ve been great. Explanations and character development was lacking.

I personally will not re-watch this and even if I did, it would be because of the music and acting. If you are a fan of historical dramas, supernatural and a little comedy, I would say give it a shot. Definitely a Major Miss or hit drama.
