Kkotpadang: Joseonhondamgongjakso

An absolute TOP favorite of mine. Especially now that I've seen many, many dramas I can truly rate this 10 stars 🌟 Watched it right after getting hooked on kdramas and found it fabulous but my other streaming service doesn't have ability to write a review.

Why I like it is the characters are diverse and well written. And all the actors chosen presented their roles beautifully. This story held my attention immediately, even though at first , female lead wasn't to my taste but once I got into the thick of the story she owned this role!!

Truly a feast for all your drama senses. Dialogue, humor or serious, costumes, story, plots and back stories, Soundtrack, cinematography, ... everything!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! And I've watched it more than 3 times.

The start was pretty good, however, it was not something exceptional. The character developments were good, furthermore, the romance of main couple who were in a love triangle was okay. There is also a side romantic couple all along the show which was also exciting to watch. Overall the show was good but there are better k-dramas out there so I suggest you watch them first and keep this option somewhere very low in the list.

Set in the Josean Period, this is a story of an unlucky woman whose fate changes along the way when she meets a matchmaker. The woman is a hard worker and ends up having to choose between her growing up boyfriend who became like her family or her new boss who she has feelings for as well. But, then the story changes to the acts of forgiveness between lovers and friends ultimately giving everyone peace and happiness in their life. The music was superb. It reminded me of theater music from an orchestra and there are many songs throughout the show. Each one, revealing the feelings going on the show. It's overall, very happy with family dynamics and politics of course.

For early episode were so good. But from ten to latest episode really bad

I really enjoyed watching this romantic comedy. While some of the plot was predictable, there were enough twists in the storyline to keep this viewer watching the drama to the very end (without skipping).

I thought the cast did a great job with the script they were given. I especially enjoyed the main male and female leads. I empathized with the young king, who turned out to be both wise and benevolent to all of his subjects.

Kudos to the director, set designer, wardrobe designer and screenwriters for doing a marvelous job in bringing this historic fictional drama alive. Kudos to all. Watch it!
