The story line: I really liked the storyline they didn't focus too much on the side characters story and they stuck to the main plot of the drama. It did not drag what so ever. I know in some mystery dramas the story ends up being craggy and people start to lose interest but in this drama it doesn't. The directed and the writer does not go overboard with it. It was fast paced too, I didn't feel like the drama was fast towards the end I felt it went at the right place which was good because most dramas finishes the drama with a fast pace.
The storyline itself it nice and I also liked the side stories they were fun. As the main plot of the drama is kind of heavy the side stories makes you appeal more to it which is weird that I don't know how to even explain.
I would date the storyline: 9.0
Acting: Needless to say the acting was on point. Everyone did well the main cast, supporting cast etc. I really loved Song YoonAh. She's really amazing and I love her works. It was my first time seeing Kim So Yeon and she did an excellent job made her character live. Those two were the highlights but of course song Jae Rim and Kim Tae Woo did well to. Song Jae Rim is just so cute, really loved him in here and Kim Tae Woo did a good job as the villain in the story. I really hated him which means he did a good job. Wish to see them all in newer projects in the future. Acting was;10/10
I don't think there was anything I disliked apart from the title because once you watch it you will start to think about the title like "who is the secret mother" "what does the title mean by secret mother" it could have been titled with something better that suits the show more such as "mothers secrets" in which if you had watched the drama then you would understand what that would have meant.
This drama is underrated and it shouldn't have been. You would definitely enjoy this drama if you give your full attention/concentration. One of the 4/5th drama I have liked and enjoyed so far for 2018

This drama isn't too fast paced nor too slow paced. Each episode is important, each scene is important. The cinematography in each episode is breathtaking. The storyline is simple as , set in joseon time.
Story line : I will honestly give the storyline a 10. As I said before the storyline is different, the script the dialogues is well written and each epusode really captivates you. The romance in this drama was done well not too fast nor too slow. Both main leads were pleasant to watch and as their love grows we all really do crave for more. The love story in this drama is very much different than other drama love story I am telling you now. This drama is about the war between Japan-korea and it really does educate us if you're into historical dramas lol.
Acting : EVERYONE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOBBBBBBB. They really did drop main casts to 2nd main casts to supporting casts to minor casts. I am very well impressed with them. Plus the chemistry between all was really different and intriguing. Lee Byung Hyun honestly never fails to impress me, I'm glad KES picked him for the job. He really done a great job as expected from him. Kim Tae Ri has now gained a fan ! Ha ha. She did wonders with her acting! Her facial expressions were great her dialogues her accent she did it well. Not one once of awkwardness. The chemistry between her character and LBH character was extremely good. You can't feel any awkwardness or any any gap between the two as you're too immense into their love and their adventures together. Kim Min Jung I watched her previous drama didn't like her role much but her acting here was awesome!!! She is one of my favourite characters so fearless. The actress did a amazing job at it and it is really hard to portray the role well but she did it and she also gained a fan! Yoo Yeon Seok is God damn attractive!!! He never fails to impress me and his chemistry with all the casts was pleasing to watch YYS really mastered his role well, he makes you want to hate him and love him at the same time. Last but not least Byun Yo Han - you'll end up just loving him he's really funny. The actor did a good job at it too and I'm glad KES picked him. Nethertheless everyone did great. The supporting cast did to (I would write their names out and talk about them but it would be too long lol!) Thank you KES for choosing them.
I gave music a 10 as well because the music really did go well with the drama overall. It was soft and slow and I do actually listen to the songs in YouTube. Really soothing.
Rewatch I gave it a 10 because I will deffo rewatch this drama later on maybe a year after or so. This drama is worth the rewatch.
This drama will not bore you.

The drama consists of, love, heartbreaks, anger, laughter and many more. It kept on getting me going on and going, i binge watched this 2 days straight. I am actually sad that it ended.
Story: The story was beautifully done, i loved it so much. It was different than the other historical drama's i have watched. Majority of them would be similar but this is by far different. What i liked about this story is that for me it did not drag at all even though it was a 58 episode drama, they kept going straight to the plot, not dragging it out which made the drama not boring to watch. each episode consist of either happiness or sadness, which craves you to watch more and more. There was nothing for me to dislike about this drama, as i loved it from the beginning to the end. Another thing i liked about this drama was the ending, ha. It is not like any other historical drama's i have watched it was different and very satisfying. I was pleased with it and could not have asked for a better ending.
The drama overall was mind-blowing. The producer and directer did an amazing job. The story line rating i will give is 10/10
Acting/ Cast: The acting and cast was amazing! I loved every actors and actresses who played a role in this drama, they did really good carrying the emotions, i even loved the actresses who played the villain, just by watching it i would not be able to act like they have. I have never seen them in other drama's which made me want to watch them even more, and hopefully they are soon main casts in other new dramas. I loved Yang Mi and Mark Chao, they had an ASTOUNDING relationship, i loved watching them so much, and i hope they are main lead couples in other dramas too, because i would not get bored of watching them. The side cast, i also loved them too and their side stories it was beautiful, as it went into details but not let it get in the way of the actual main story. The actor/character i went truly sad for was Li Jing (Vin Zhang) i just wanted to hug him so much, he was so cute! The acting/ cast rating i will give is 10/10
Music: I loved every songs/music they played, and i still do listen to them. I had to download it as soon as it finished the music/songs suited the drama so much. The music gave me the Princess Wei Young vibe, i hope im not the only one who thinks that here lol. The rating i will give for the music is 10/10
Re watch: I don't usually re watch dramas but i would definitely re watch this drama, as it was beautifully done and this drama will always be in my head. So the re watch value i will give is 10/10
Overall, the drama was good, you'll love it and will never regret watching it. If you are thinking "58 episodes is soo long" trust me it really isn't because you'll end up wanting more episodes, i thought the same and i am happy and lucky to have watched this drama and to finish it.

Storyline: it did get draggy one point but it was well put together, you wouldn't get bored with it instead get too invested in it! It can make you laugh cry and lost important get angry!!
I loved every bit of it.
Acting: everyone's acting was on par, the chacarters were portrayed well. My favourite was Kim So Yeon and Uhm Ki Joon, I do think they deserve a daesang each because they portrayed their character so well that it made the viewers disgusted and angry but also pity at the same time?
Amazing.
Music: I like the BGM the suspense sound makes it better but no songs background which not mad about. This drama doesn't need it.
Rewatch: I would most definitely rewatch this while waiting for S3, I always find different things I didn't realise in the drama in the first time. I did it WITH S1 and will do with this drama. It's amazing.
Overall: great drama

All the acting here is really good, the cast take you to a journey and you will feel like you are at Hera Palace ?
The drama can be Heavy and emotionally draining but it's a must watch.
Story: 10/10- this is because it is fresh and the writer doesn't long things out and gets straight to the point.
Acting: 10/10 - the cast done a good job portraying their characters. They will make you feel sorry for them, hate them despise them and like them again. The acting is sometimes OTT but that the just the character and how they are suppose to be which is different and fresh.
Music: 8/10- there is not many OSTs but I like the music background. It is just right and dramatic
Rewatch Value: 8/10: I would rewatch this but it will just make me upset. Best to rewatch when you want to feel sad and angry haha
Will recommend this drama

I loved everything about it.
story-line: The story line was really good, it was different and unique. It was about the Korean political areas, and how prosecutors and higher authorities get away with anything. The show bought different people together to help fight against the antagonist. So i rate the story line 10/10 because it was different.
Character/ Acting: The acting and the actors were awesome, i am glad that he production team picked the leads cast because they bought the show alive. A per usual Lee Si Young and Kim Young Kwang did well in this drama, loved their acting and how they developed their character. Key also did a good job, first time watching him acting and loved it alongside with Kim Seul- Gi. There was one person who stood out for me, he was not the main character but a side and that was PARK SOLOMON!!! lets appreciate his marvelous acting, and how he got into his character. This actor can do anything, hes amazing he bought his character a psychotic maniac alive, and made people hate and despise him. He was also well suited, i really hope he wins an award this year. He truly deserves it and love to see him in more dramas as a main. I would rate the acting: ` 10/10 because i loved everyone
Music/OST: I loved every single OST, it was different original. As soon as i heard it i fell in love with it and knew i had to download it! It just suited the drama, and its story line very well. So for that i will rate it 10/10
Ending: I didn't really like the ending, it was different but wasn't what i was expecting, i mean they all got what they wanted but it didn't satisfy me. However i did love how they remembered and talked about that one person who was the purpose of the show. I was expected much better ending. SO for that i will rate it 9/10
Rewatch value: 10/10 because i would deffo watch it again, because i like to rewatch dramas i am interested and like.
