Story/Production: I always do consider the budget of the drama and imo this drama probably is not the highclass ones, but it had some money for sure if u look at the action scenes. The script is one of the worst I have seen, it's not entertaining and the conspiracy palace fights are awfully written. There's unexpected random couple change, I didn't mind the random but the unexpected part. I don't have anything against couple changes, BUT it was so badly written

Acting/Cast/Characters: All the characters are very flat and the actors are doing the best an average job imo.

Overall: Would not recommend this drama to anyone, even as a historical c-drama fan.
