If you're looking for a nice heart warning drama that makes you feel light...let me just stop you right there and tell you that you're not only looking at the wrong show but the wrong genre as well. Exit stage right immediately.
This drama was definitely good, I enjoyed it. Right away you fall in love with the story however it does lag a bit around some parts. I really liked it...I finished it in 2 days...HOWEVERR be warned that this drama has a love triangle of sorts and its not the casual one either.
One of the things I absolutely loved about this drama was although politics was obviously involved, it wasn't the typical continuous plotting and scheming and backstabbing and twists and turns...Don't get me wrong plotting and scheming occurred...just not on the down-low. In most cases, everyone was always aware of what was happening. Another thing I loved was the women weren't the villains who were plotting and scheming in this drama or whispering into their men's ear to control them. The men did their own thing and the woman had their own thing happening (I say this because in most cases when the drama did focus on the women it was in relation to their station in life for e.g the wives not getting along...but not in the extreme drama sense where they are always trying to get rid of each other).
Be prepared to cry or at least sniffle. I almost forgot...This drama gets a little dark depending on your preferences...but for me, those dark moments were some of the best scenes in the show...it just added to everything. You'll get used to the hair eventually.
I thought the drama was good overall.I saw a lot of people raving about it and decided to give it a chance but I wont say it was exceptional for me it was just good.
*SPOILERS BELOW*
1. One of the main issues I had with this drama was the love triangle. Initially, the main female lead falls in love with the 8th prince who is married to her sister. Them falling in love was so uncomfortable to watch for me (I watched this drama on Viki and I noticed in the comments a lot of people felt the same way). The female lead prides herself on being modern and she absolutely hates the idea of women sharing men...however, she still manages to fall in love with her sister's husband..it was weird to watch because the writers really explored their relationship it wasn't the usual oh they like each other but she's only with him because he's a rebound and always loved her troupe. They genuinely loved each other. Anyway, if things like that don't bother you then jump right into this drama because this was the only issue I had with it but after this storyline ends (ep 14) it really picks up full steam ahead.
