I Love stories in the Joseon Era, and this drama is absolutely fabulous! Wonderful story and cast. Joo Won and Oh Yeon Seo are so cute in their performance together! The humorous flair to the story really captures the dynamics of the two. Loved it!

It was so irritating in the last few episodes, mainly because of the poor storyline and very weak role of the lead actor!

...because of Joo Won. It had a lighthearted theme that tried to be serious. It was funny at times but the story wasn't remarkable. I was still able to finish it. To watch it again would be impossible.

This was originally shown as 32 episodes but has been rpackaged a 16 double lngth episodes on Netflix. The bad bits : the plot is sometimes too obvious and it wraps up without much tension. The acting is iffy and the leads have little chemistry. To my mind Yeon-Seo Oh also seems a little old for the part, though she plays it well. There are some obvious plot holes and the last twwo episodes are just daft. But the direction and cinematography are very good and the attention to detail is spot on. The costumes re the best I have ever seen and the small everyday details are really well done,

I enjoyed it but I don't think it will stay in the mind long. This is a remake and I haven't seen the original so can't compare. Not a waste of time by any means but not aclassic either.

A famous scholar is tasked with educating the feisty daughter of the king but ends up as her protector when a rebellion begins. An enjoyable period romantic drama with good performances from all the cast. It would have benefitted from a tighter script with less flashbacks and recaps.
