Really enjoyed this drama - Kyungsoo deserves the hype, since he drew me in as Crown Prince Yul and Wondeuk. Nam Jihyun's character can frustrate you every now and then, but don't let it stop you from watching this drama. I'm not fond of sageuks - they're too politicky, too many characters with their hands stirring the pot and in the end I can't keep up. But if you're looking to start watching them, I think 100 Days My Prince is a good gateway drama - it just has the right amount of politics to keep me interested but doesn't take over the story, and also has plenty of fluff and comedy.

The romance also kept me going - I love a good fluff to balance out angst. The only things keeping me from giving this series a 10 is: one, Mooyeon and the Crown Princess' story had me rooting for them, but I can't say Mooyeon didn't have it coming. He had too much blood on his hands for him to escape from his life as an assassin cleanly. I just wish it hadn't been so sudden or tragic. Two, I CAN'T WITH HONGSHIM AND HER RELUCTANCE TO BE WITH YUL AFTER THE DEATH OF THE VICE PREMIER. Like I get you're thinking of him and his future, BUT YOU DESERVE IT TOO.

If you feel like the beginning drags a bit, I'd say power through it - the drama really does pick up towards its latter half, when Wondeuk/Yul starts regaining his memories and the small village world of Wondeuk and the palace life of Yul start to mix.
