Kurome Nightraid
If you're planning to watch this show, don't expect too much medical/ surgery scenes after the first half episodes, or maybe after the first two episodes will do, lol.
Don’t expect a lot of action scenes. The first episode is thrilling but that's that, you won’t be able to see another scene as breath taking as that on the nxt eps since only few action scenes in this drama.
This drama is entitled “Yong Pal” but it didn’t really talked abt him. It’s abt waking up ‘Sleeping Beauty’, helping her back to the throne, and trying to stop her from her revenge.. It’s mostly about Politics, Revenge, romance. And just a touch of medical thingy…
As others have said, the story took a complete turn on the Second half so don't expect too much out of the Male Lead since he was overshadowed by the Female Lead.
And again, this drama gives us a little information Abt Yong Pal (at least for others, or so it depends on how we really view it).
And soo… There are a lot of reasons to watch this drama and whether we like or hate it depends upon our tastes.
Unlike others who got bored after the 1st/2nd episode, I find this drama interesting from beginning to end. But I’ll focus on the characters…
Often, I’d prefer dramas with Cool, cold, mean, rich, male leads who falls in love with a poor, naïve, sweet girl or in short, a Cinderella story but this movie changed it all…
I love the role reversal in this movie. The Male lead is a talented poor, kind-hearted, charming doctor who fell in love with the rich somewhat spoiled beautiful patient… I love how badass Yeo Jin is in this show, her mean demeanor, and cleverness got me cheering for her, she’s not your average female lead always getting saved by the Male lead because of her idiocy.. instead, she’s a strong woman who can protect and think for herself. She’s so sweet and loveable when she’s with KTH, but cruel and vengeful to others and yet, you can’t definitely hate her-- She used to be innocent, sweet little sister to her brother but she changed after the people she trusted the most betrayed and imprisoned her. (Think about Sleep Paralysis and experiencing it for 3 yrs, I find it frightening)
Tae Hyun isn’t your ordinary impatient guy who pulls tantrum when something goes wrong, he always try to be understanding and supportive towards Yeo Jin and does his best to stop her from doing bad things for her sake. Not only that, his relationship towards other is simply appealing as he cares so much about them—how he risk his life for money in order to save his sister is heartwarming, saving chief lee is definitely something, the way he treated the gangsters as humans to be helped earned him respect, and that saving the life of the police who was out to get him, he gained a friend.. and many other beautiful interaction.
Others would often comment that the Main leads don’t have any chemistry but the romance in this drama is admirable. Their relationship is unlike others-- its full of caring, deep understanding, and to see them separate is heartbreaking.
Chae Young … I like how she often tease her husband that she never fails to annoy him. She’s a happy-go-lucky, always full of energy, and often times playful,. Yet she too fall on the abyss of darkness and in the end got blinded by vengeance. I think on one way or another, she did love her husband at one point. Lol
Not only the Main leads are awesome… there are a lot of diverse characters in this movie and they all performed their role well that it’s often frustrating and disheartening to keep on watching the antagonists plot something on some point. But of course you’ll also love the people who supported KTH no matter what happened …
Why not a perfect 10? It might have been better if it ended when YJ finally got her rightful throne back since the extension of the show for another 2 more eps did disappoint me since many of the characters personality changed a lot you’d actually wonder wtf happened, and too much unnecessary scenes and flashbacks for the last 2 eps… As I said, I love how badass YJ is, yet her brilliant cleverness suddenly disappeared that she can’t even do a simple reasoning… And I’m fine with the ending but I don’t particularly like it, if only they extended that part rather than dragging too many scheme in the episode, but oh well, it can’t be helped..
OVERALL, I LOVED IT and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA... I Had fun watching and have re-watched it so many times, I can't just get over it…

Ahem... I'm not a fan of dramas with Married couples as Main characters but then . . . this movie changed my view. The story tackles obstacles we face at work, in life, in love, marriage, and divorce. It focuses on the reality of life that we face every day.
It's funny, it's cute, sweet and Bittersweet, it's also Inspirational in every way-- like how a lot of the characters grew individually and used their strength to rise as a team despite being looked down by others. Like how an Insensitive Boss turned to a true Leader. like how a broken heart can find true love, and (it sounds weird) a divorce leading to Happiness. It gives the viewer overflowing life lessons. And I swear its one of the best realistic dramas out there.
What makes it worth watching is that there are a Lot of Inspirational Scenes... like a lot I couldn't count. Really, a lot of scenes are heartwarming and full of lessons we all can relate to.
"A good man meeting and coming together with a good woman may not always result in good marriage life." ~Tae Hee and maybe the person you first thought you're going to marry may not always be your destiny.
