I would say that this drama is kinda living proof of what's called 'the danger of romanticism' and that's how such an idiotic excuse accepted as logic, spread like a virus then became a common ground.
Honestly, the story is good, the act is top notch, though I can't exaggerate Jisoo's acting as outstanding but indeed for her first act project she did well done (maybe should not start as a main character).
Thumbs up for the cinematograph too especially in the first two eps. It's just the lies intentioned here, the way the production faces controversy over the drama, and how they use a real sensitive historical figures and events where the survivor still alive and the story not yet enough to be told as a tale like Roman war or even the WW for the 21st century born generation, shielding behind the wall of 'fiction' is pure ignorant!
For people that care enough to through the fact and learn the history, it would be fine, we mature enough to accept it as fiction. But, how about those who are born in less than two decades ago and fed their knowledge through the drama, concluding that's the truth? Man, such people does exist! And their ignorance preserved! It's not enough by just let it be, why bother burn the fire?
If wants to make such sensitive historical-political based story, then make it a pure fiction.

I didn't see any humor delivered here, most of the time I wouldn't laughed. The romance indeed touching and tragic as expected, but what's intentioned as a romance drama was dominated by political agenda. The political scene that's started ambitiously and vanished like a cotton candy towards the end. The story is indeed good, only if it respect the history!
