I've just finished the marathon of this series, back to back for two days straigjt. The show was great, interesting. One of the downside of this series is Nam Ji Hyun's acting. I've watched some of her dramas before and idont feel that her acting shines in this drama. Her acting look a bit stiff if i could put it tht way, especially in sad/crying scenes . but Do Kying Soo's acting really blew my mind. It was impactful and memorable. Amidst watching, i kept comparing Nam Ji Hyun with other actress who have played similar lead characters like Kim Yoo Jung and others and kept thinking how it would be if the character was played by other actress.

Anyway, the story is entertaining and i like it a lot. The ending could have been better though. I meam, i really hate the whole extended drama of Hong Shim refusing to be with The Prince because of her concern of burdening the Crown Prince yada yasa. I would prefer to see her in the end confess about how she couldn't live without him too and how she love him too. I mean, the first rejection is okay, but i was expecting a sweeter reunion after their parting when they both realised they cannot live without one another.
but then again, it is a happy ending anyway so i can be okay with it.

The comedy bits are working to tone down the seriousness and conflicts in the plots. i especially enjoy Won Deuk 's funny antics as arrogant amnesiac man.
