I just don't really understand why this drama is getting so unnecessary hate?
You did not like it ? Then move on .
I am not saying that the drama itself is perfect .... there are flaws ... there are over the top advertisements put in the scenes ... a bit overrated production ...But here people are just demeaning it like anything !
I liked the concept with which it started ...a parallel universe and the monarchy system which made somewhat sense cause previously there were very few dramas with present day monarchy setting (ref Goong , Goong S , The Last Empress etc ). Many might even argue that the plot was somewhat like W ... so what ? Well for me it does not really matter cause it is watch worthy and the efforts of the cast , music production and the graphics was clearly praise worthy (In this context I just want to say I personally loved the ost maze it was sad at the same time beautiful ) .
Coming to the cast ... many are arguing that LMH is back with same acting style...guys just understand its his own way of portraying characters that makes him different from others ....he was great here and nailed his character too . The rest of the cast were great as well .
Now coming to my personal opinion I enjoyed it overall ... some of the dialogues were really great ! Don't pay heed to the negative reviews and give it a go ..... and finally be a judge for yourself if it was worth your time or not
