Park Hyung Sik does it again!
As a fan of Park Hyung Sik, it is to no suprise that I was hella excited to watch this. This drama was full of excitement, and i finished it in less than 3 days. It's sooo good. The plot is interesting with little to no plot holes.One thing I disliked tho was the ending. Ofc I'm happy they got together in the end but I felt like it was kind of rushed a little. Maybe 1 more episode to show how things ended would have sufficed. Nonetheless, the actors did a spectacular job, as did Park Hyung Sik (as always <3)
Totally recommend !! ?

A very good sageuk / investigation with Park Hyung Sik
PLOT: on her wedding day, the FL, daughter of a governor, sees her entire family die. She decides to flee all those who accuse her, with her servant. She ends up with the Crown Prince (the ML) who gives her a position as eunuch and searches with her for clues about these assassinations and the strange/troubling affairs that are shaking the Court... Conspiracies, influence games, revenge, etc. .The story also highlights the vulnerability (internal and external) of the royal family at this time, and the weight of the great families/clans.
PROS:
- good balance between investigation - humor - action scenes
- The story is carried by Park Hyung Sik (no wonder he received an Award for this role ♡´･ᴗ･`♡) and by FL (Jeon So Nee, actress I didn't know but who is remarkable ).
- Fortunately there is the CL2, excellent, which brings a touch of lightness to this rather dark climate.
- The production is dynamic, the clues are placed in the right place to keep the permanent attention of the viewer.
- The settings, the images are beautiful and some shots are really superb.
- The OSTs are excellent.
CONS:
- A beautiful chemistry between the 2 leads, but really no intimate scene, just a final kiss. It's not enough!!

Un très bon sageuk / investigation avec Park Hyung Sik
PLOT: le jour de son mariage, la FL, fille d1 gouverneur, voit toute sa famille mourir. Elle décide de fuir tous ceux qui l'accusent avec sa servante. Elle aboutit auprès du Prince Héritier (le ML) qui lui donne un poste d'eunuque et cherche avec elle des indices sur ces assassinats et les affaires étranges/troublantes qui secouent la Cour... Conspirations, jeu d'influence, vengeance, etc.
L'histoire souligne aussi la vulnérabilité (interne et externe) de la famille royale à cette époque, et le poids des grandes familles / clans.
PROS:
- bon équilibre entre investigation - humour - scènes d'action
- L'histoire est portée par Park Hyung Sik (pas étonnant qu'il ait reçu un Award pour ce rôle ♡´･ᴗ･`♡ ) et par la FL (Jeon So Nee, actrice que je ne connaissais pas mais qui est remarquable).
- Heureusement qu'il y a le CL2, excellent, qui apporte une touche de légèreté à ce climat assez sombre.
- La réalisation est rapide, les indices sont posés au bon endroit pour éveiller l'attention permanente du spectateur.
- Les décors, les images sont beaux et certaines prises de vue sont vraiment superbes.
- Les OST sont excellentes.
CONS:
- Une belle alchimie entre les 2 leads, mais vraiment aucune scène d'intimité, juste un kiss final. Un peu juste!!

Actually I get mixed feelings about this drama
First of all, the story is interesting. I watch a lot of drama and in this drama, I didn't guess the culprit until episode 12. They didn't give a hint. Also, I didn't expect the woman plans everything just to sit in the palace. No one realizes what happens in the place. Sorry, but I think this is a little bit silly. I know the king is scared of politicians but he doesn't do anything in the end. He knows the queen came from his enemy's family, but he never doubts his wife. Everyone is very kind and naive in the king family -_-I love female characters. They are strong. Their fighting scene is very funny and active. They are smart. They don't wait for a hero and take their own revenge. They always say what they have in their mind and believe their own way. I really like their independent soul. But in the end they accept everything easily. They kill her all family and she just lets them go. I don't like it.
Romance scenes aren't enough. Prince never shows his feeling very well. We see that the second couple express their feeling more. Ga Ram and Myung Jin show their feelings better.
This drama has humorous. You can laugh a lot. Especially when four people (Crown Prince, Mİn Jae, Ga Ram and Myung Jin ) gather together, they are very funny.
Also Crown Prince's guardian Tae Gang, I see an actor for the first time and he is playing two roles at the same time. I think he has the potential to be a good actor. The first time he played in a very big project and two roles. Everyone cant do that. Respect:)
I know villains lost their home and their family. But also they kill a lot of innocent people. I can say they are right. They are also bad people and don't deserve a happy ending.
Have a nice watch:)

Not much romance but interesting enough
I really like both leads, especially the FL. She had a certain aura about her, no need for overacting, and there was a very calming and peaceful beauty about her. I thought PHS also did well as Crown Prince Lee Hwan. I would have liked to see more romance, a few cliches perhaps ;) but there was that undeniable intensity, attraction and care for one another. The romance was very slow burn, but we do get a sweet kiss only on the final episode. So if you’re looking for romance per se, you won’t find it here.What kept me going was the crime & mystery solving storyline. Found that intriguing and engaging. There were a few different plots and storylines which were interconnected and blended well together 1) the murder of Jae Yi’s family and how she was framed for it 2) which led her to find the crown Prince to help clear her name. That in turn developed into their love story 3) the slaughter of the people of Byeokcheon by Cho won bo 4) the revenge of the people 5) cho won bo’s greed for power of the throne
To watch or not? I would say yes! There was a fair share of fighting as well. The side plots were interesting too. The only parts I didn’t fancy were the ones with Myeong-Jin and his (stupid laugh) hahaha found him annoying. Other than that it was a good solid 8/10 for me ;)

Only the ending part disappointed me.
Many characters are equally important in the story.Crown prince had been wrongly accused of killing his own brother ,he is fighting for his way . On the other side his teacher's daughter also wrongly accused of killing her family . She thought the murder somehow connect with the crown prince .so she had faced so many hardships to reach to the crown prince and to win his trust . On the other hand she is fiancee of crown prince 's best friend . Whole drama revolve around to find the actual killer . The last episode disclosed the murderer.
The only thing the drama didn't show any romance between the leads . Not misunderstand with my words ,I am not talking about romantic scene , both of them have affection towards eachother but neither of them had told to each other about their feeling .
Same thing with the love story of female lead's apprentice and the doctor . Here story was little different they didn't realise that they like each other . Then first she fall in love with him . In the second last episode he realised that she liked him.
Then there third story too which I expect to be fulfil but nothing happened here only one sided love .
All acters were good ,thumbs up to their acting . Story was good but can't be better.

Park Hyung Sik is back with a bang!!
Whooey!!!!!! :D After a LOOOONG wait finally a kick ass FL.LOVED how role has been written and the actress fits to a T.
And of course Park Hyung Sik amongst the MOST talented actors who can hold his act taut and without missing a beat.
He shone in HAPPINESS, Bong Soon, Heirs, and YES got second lead syndrome in Hwarang, stole the show inspite of being the second couple.
He's right up there in acting chops (and yumminess) with Kim Woo Bin / Park Bo Gum / Park Seo Jun / Lee Jun Ho / Nam Joo Hyuk.
And FL we can expect her to make her mark with this show.
Something about her is almost Kim Tae Ri.
How I wish I could have binged on this (all 20 episodes).
The fact that the writer of this show also wrote Romance is a Bonus Book / Discovery of Romance / Because its the First Time each with STRONG WOMEN roles I think this will end up with VERY HIGH ratings. Predicting a mydramalist rating of 8.5/9.0 at the least.

Park Hyung-sik really don't miss
I trust PHS with his drama choices as the dramas he always chooses are great. his acting never misses either. him and so nee are such a visual pairing that though only 2 episodes have aired so far, I'm loving their chemistry with one another. the story is another one of those historical dramas that has the higher ups being wicked and twisted trying to take advantage of the people below them. But the writing in this story elevates it to an even better story. first you got so nee's character who is trying to avenge her family and also trying to clear her name. then you have Hyung-sik's character just trying to get rid of the "Curse."The costume department did amazing as well. The Hanboks the ladies have is genuinely majestic and they are so beautiful to look at. so nee is a strong and resilient female lead and I always love kdrama female leads who don't let themselves get walked over. I believe the romance is going to blossom into a beautiful and intense love story as the show progresses and I'm excited to see where it, and the other sub plots will go. with 18 episodes remaining, y'all should start watching now and get caught up frfr

Our Blooming Youth is a strange title for a clunky drama. The purpose of this drama, despite ghostly flourishes and dramatic Dum Dum DUM music, seems to be to throw two people together and make it look like an epic love story. So we have the crown prince meeting the FL, a suspected murderer, who appears to have shot an arrow at him. He ends up dragging her to his tent for questioning. By the wrist, naturally. That’s after she performs the usual fall off a cliff into water trope and sneaking into town disguised as one of a group-of-(VERY unobservant) soldiers thing. Sigh. When the Female Lead later pulls out a big dagger, cuts herself free of her bonds, and attacks a guard I think we’re supposed to be impressed by how badass she is. But all I could think of was that the guard must have flunked Introduction to Bodyguarding where they teach you to search somebody for weapons BEFORE you tie them up. It all feels contrived and formulaic and Park Hyung Sik seems to be sleepwalking through his role looking as bored as I feel. There are the usual scheming old ministers, including Jung Woon-In playing the baddie as always. Nothing new to see here. Was this review helpful to you?
décevant
Je n'aime pas écrire une critique lorsque j'abandonne un drama, sauf si je visionne déjà la moitié de la série. A un épisode près, je vais dire que je peux me permettre de vous dire ce que j'en pense.Le premier épisode était prometteur. Un zeste de surnaturel, un prince héritier qui avait une certaine prestance et … c'est tout. Dès l'apparition de l'héroïne, je pense que tout est parti en fumé. J'ai tenu 11 épisodes. Dans l'espoir que cela s'arrange un peu. Si le schéma classique ne dérange pas, bien au contraire, la logique et l'enchainement des épisodes y laissent un goût amer.
Les enquêtes ne sont pas très intéressantes, voire ennuyeuses. La trame était un tantinet intéressant mais le parti pris de centrer l’attention tout autour d’une protagoniste manquant d’attrait et de ses acolytes non moins attrayants a rendu l’intrigue lourd à digérer.
Les protagonistes? Si le prince m'était bien sympathique, l'héroïne est quant à elle dépourvue de charme à mes yeux. Si elle nous est décrit comme un personnage fort, intelligent, malin et débrouillard dont la seule présence requis aurait le don d’aider le prince, malheureusement à la lumière un peu crue de la réalité, elle devient tout le contraire. Ses compétences de détective ne nous sont jamais réellement démontré, et le peu d’étalage de ses hauts faits n’impressionne guère. Quant à son bagou et à la force de son caractère? Maladroit. Passant le plus clair de son temps à pleurnicher, elle ne cesse de se plaindre. Sa douleur d'avoir perdu sa famille n'est nullement clairement illustré, j’aurais aimé plus que quelques flashbacks entre elle et son père afin de pouvoir compatir à ses malheurs. Nous sommes donc loin de la douleur de Ye Tan lorsque cette dernière perd sa soeur
( The Starry Love) ou de la vengeance implacable de Lin Bu Yi (Love Like The Galaxy). C’est aussi un peu la même chose avec le prince héritier, où il nous est difficile de vouloir le soutenir. Sa relation avec son père ne nous fait pas ciller et celle avec son frère disparu n’est que suggéré. Je ne mentionnerai pas les personnages secondaires où sans surprise, ils se révéleront sans substance.
C’est donc un drama décevant et qui n’aura pas réussi à me garder intéressé jusqu’au bout.

Esperava mais
Tive muita expectativa em relação a esse drama por causa do Park Hyung-sik, e talvez por isso me senti um tanto decepcionada com a série. A história demorou muito pra se desenrolar, tanto que a trama principal foi resolvida já bem no finalzinho da série. Acredito que 16 eps teriam sido mais do que suficientes pra contar a história.Apesar de tudo isso, o elenco foi muito bom e entregaram atuação de milhões! Vi muitas críticas sobre falta de química entre os protas, mas na minha opinião eles conseguiram entregar toda química e tensão que os personagens precisavam demonstrar sem contato físico.
