I began this drama expecting the typical cliches of a rom-com historical drama. Oh, how I was wrong! This drama had astonishing acting and a deepened story plot that kept me glued to my screen. I found myself falling in love with the king, crying my eyes out when someone tried to hurt the queen and laughed whenever the queen did the unexpected. This emotional rollercoaster helped me understand and relate to these characters more. I did not even fast forward on any ep because the story was just so entertaining. I cannot put into words just how amazing this drama was! I became confused on who to trust, who to like, and who to dislike. Only after, did I realize who were the good guys and who were the bad ones. I love how the king and queen joined forces to take down the corruption in Joseon! This will forever hold a special place in my heart as for 2021 kdramas.
