so this was released yearsss ago? i have been avoiding this due to the tragic ending until recently i watched a drama that has horrrible horrible cgi and production. i read from the reviews that this has superb production with huge budget, so to pacify myself over the previous drama i watched, i gave this a go

believe me, i have been avoiding dramas with tragic ending but according to reviews, there's no other way to end this drama but that

and true !!!

the acting was trully exceptiona!, when the FL is sad, she is not just crying a river , he cried her heart out convincingly that she will pull you to her plight. she is strong, playful (but not like FL on the dramas that they will look like kids) ,

the ending was (surprisingly, the ending i wanted it to be since the first part of the drama) satisfying, even without the scenes of the old ML, i wouldnt complain! It is the first drama/series i watched that has a tragic ending (not sad) yet it made me feel so happy it ended that way.

The production!! as in WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!! it is a feast for the eyes! the costumes are so well detailed even on close up, some even looks like real leather , the palace are like the palaces on fantasy dramas, very luxurious! it trully justified it's huge budget!


You will, im telling you, you will miss one of the well crafted asian drama if you won't watch this! i put this away for too long due to my obsession with happy ending, never realized that tragic ending can also be a happy ending for a viewer! i guess one of the convincing power behind that very satisfying ending is credited to the FL's superb acting that you yourself will even wish to die several times is you were in her shoes!
