This drama is majestic, holy, astonishing, divine! It defines the word perfection! It will give you chills while watching. Every episode is breath taking, and there's always a surprise on ending that will give that "I want to watch the next episode right away" feeling. There were lots of twists in this drama. You will also have this "the main character will not gonna make it through their problems", but if you continue watching it you'll be surprised on how did they came up with a such a brilliant idea that made their problems disperse. This drama portrayed the story of Queen Seondok of Silla in a fictional way. You will find some scenes unbelievable and some scenes were just out of this world LOL but irregardless, this was still a good drama. The actors were good specially the antagonist, Lady Mishil! Go Hyun Jung portrayed her character very well. As a matter of fact, she won the grand prize in baeksang awards and daekasang awards last 2009 for her Lady Mishil portrayal. Funny because instead of hating her, you will love her. To be honest, she's the one who gave spice on the story, not the main character :D I love her and Bidam, they're my favorite characters on the show. Mother and son :D Other actors were also great, Lee Yo-Won gave justice to her role as deokman/queen seondeok. She fits the role very well. Perfect choice for me. The young deokman also did a good job! Very clever, funny, wise and cute :3 I also like the characters Jookbang and Godo. Their tandem was very funny! Also one of the reason why this drama is perfect. The background music was awesome! It was an additional excitement when the scenes were intense. It will rise you up from your sit and will give you a goosebumps! The ending was tragic, very sad, it makes me shed tears :'( but still a good drama! This is a perfect 10 for me! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
