Really good historical romance

Story-wise, this was surprisingly good historical romance, with so many twists that I was never once bored. Actors were superb, and I am looking forward to watching more dramas and movies with Park Eun Bin in. But, there's always a but - it was hard to believe that petite slender frame and frail voice could ever be mistaken for a man. Also, so many people in her vicinity knew her identity that it was absurd that no one else knew and the secret was kept secret for so long.

The last episode was very satisfying, although I think the director had to choose that one particularly emotional scene over the explanatory one in order to keep the episode under the required running time. I loved that scene very much, so no complaints there, but some questions were left unanswered on the screen. After being spoon-fed with explanations over 20 episodes, that was kind of weird to have to conclude on our own what has happened in the between major scenes.
