Who doesn't love Kyungsoo? I guess others too, the same as me, watched this drama because of him. And.. *slow clap*

The plot. The plot is not what I expected at all. It's not overwhelming or underwhelming. Everything's just right and perfect. Everything's timed correctly. I loved the emphasis on the chinese proverbs (I mean as it should be). I loved how unexpected and exciting things were from the first episode. The flashbacks were at the right moments. It was funny to watch as the story unfolded bit by bit, which was not only uncovering the past, but we got the present and some moments letting us know what the future will be for the characters of the drama. The only disappointing thing for me were the moments right before the ending. The battle between the Crown prince and the Vice-President Kim was underwhelming. I've guessed it all. However it was really nice to see that a villain who wanted all the power and riches even after death wanting only good for his children. This was a really nice detail to the story. I guess they wanted to show that even a monster like Vice-President Kim was a human being and cared about his children.

Acting/Cast. Oh let me tell you, the cast for this drama is amazing. I did like D.O's acting in Hello Monster. After that, I never saw anything else, any dramas or movies with him, so this was surprisingly good! I really like the aura he gives off, it fits the Crown Prince's character so well. Also the chemistry between Nam Ji Hyun and Kyungsoo was amazing. She's an amazing actress and I was surprised at how well she acts. From the other actors, I really liked the acting of Han So Hee, Kim Ki Doo, Jo Sung Haa and others.

Music. Spot on. I guess it's hard to miss with music since this is a historical drama. Keeps up the mood of the situations.

Rewatch Value. I already rewatched this drama as I'm writing this. So it's truly worth rewatching. I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I like to rewatch movies and dramas, so I watched it again and I fell in love even more.

Overall. If you're looking for a drama that makes you think, has a great love story and in general a plot with some comedy elements - this drama is for you. You don't have to like history to like this drama as it's more based on the relationships rather than the politics only (politics are included in the drama but not emphasised. However, social status is emphasised a lot knowing this IS a historical drama). Good drama to watch in your free time, amazing drama to make you fall in love with the actors, music and the story. One of the best ones I've watched.
