All I can say is if the Emperor had a gun he would have shot himself in the foot, the hand, the head every where. No matter how he plotted against Prince Quin, it turned out bad for him. He is just one royal mess.
The ladies in this drama are dangerous, from Kung-Fu, to scheming to poisons.
The overall storyline was okay, I do feel it is a little draggy and could have been over 10 Episodes earlier but I guess that's what dramas are all about.
Everyone is someone else' ally or enemy or both.
The royal children needed to be reigned in and trained, in most instances they were just as murderous as their parents and one wondered what would happen to the Kingdoms once they took over.
The aspects of these plots, where some women feel that they have the rights to the hero despite him having a wife really gets to me.
The drama is overall a good drama to watch, not one that I would readily put in my rewatch cadre but it is worth watching.
