Story: If you're a fan of Dong Yi and you're secretly a fan of the villain aka Jang Hui Bin, here's the drama for you. Kim Tae Hee offers you the different Jang Hui Bin from the one in Dong Yi. For many years Jang Ok Jung (Hui Bin's real name) has been potrayed as one of the worst female fatales, and this drama potrays her from the different side.
Her relationship with King Sukjong, and the tragedies.
I think, the villain here is Choi Suk Bin beside Heo Jeok/The western faction/Ja Kyung. hehehe.. Have been waiting to see Suk Bin's bad side since Dong Yi.
Acting/cast: One word. Awesome. This drama got Kim Tae Hee (IRIS, My Princess) and Yoo Ah In (Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Fashion King) as the main lead! Also Hong Soo Hyun (The Princess Man) as Queen Inhyun. The other cast were already experienced too in kdramaland so you will recognized them directly (if you usually watch historical dramas)
Music: It's not bad, but not so good too. I found the music's so-so
Overall: Actually, I found this drama more interesting than Gu Family Book. I don't know why but I just feel like that. The storyline's interesting and the main lead seems more love-birds-like. Kim Tae Hee did a very good job on potraying Jang Ok Jung.
