Delightful Drama
For the readers here let me share my bias - Nam Ji Hyun is my favourite actress and I have watched every drama she has starred in as a lead actress , so my review has a slight bias :)
Story : The story is typical of any period drama with politics, allies, enemies being killed, kids of opposition families ending up as lovers in the adulthood. But what differentiates this drama is the story telling, the cast and an extremely fiercely independent woman lead in the Joseon period. The drama has the typical tropes - childhood friends, destiny, memory loss, love triangle, breakup and reunion , but it is still an extremely endearing watch.
Cast/Acting: The 5 leads make it an enjoyable watch. Given that Kim Seon Ho is my favourite actor, obviously I liked him more than the male lead. Nam Ji Hyun though stole the show - and I loved her entire village squad.
Overall : It struggles in places with the pacing and like most KDramas a couple of episodes less would have helped the drama.
But if you are looking for a light hearted romance in a sageuk backdrop and two very handsome supporting male leads - then this is the drama to watch :)
