I really like the story about the historians. I didn't know how powerful a historian can be. They have to be objective in writing to describe people and events. They cannot be persuaded to change the history because future generations will depend on it. Characters are great actors. Eunwoo and Se Kyung has great chemistry. I can't wait to see Eunwoo in more adult roles.

The introduction to the show's plot, all the background information and getting to know the characters makes up 25% of the series. Getting through that wasn't easy in my opinion. But when the actual story finally started (as in the prince and the historian meeting for the first time), I was HOOKED. The characters are great and really funny most of the time, yet it didn't feel ridiculous in any way because they were still dealing with some serious topics. I'm not sure how accurate the historical side of the story is, but it didn't seem implausible to me.

The ending was kind of rushed in my opinion, but see for yourself.

In conclusion: don't stop watching if you're struggling with the first few episodes and definitely don't let the somewhat ridiculous title of the show fool you. It's such a good series that deserves to be watched.

I loved everything about this show. For me it was perfect. Beautiful scenery, thoughtful plot, adorable leads. I know little of the culture, but I was transported into another world. A lovely historical fairytale.

Good plot, great characters, lovely romance, beautiful sets and costumes. 1000 times better than any historic Korean drama of the past.

First of all just treat it as fantasy. There were no female history writers of this time and an unmarried 26 year old woman would not have been allowed. Just enjoy the great sets and costumes, a story that zips along over 20 episodes and some really great comedy, Shin Se-Kyung is lovely and plays her self rather than acts as such. Cha Eun-Woo has the right sense of nievteand wonder. The comedy is spot on and laugh out loud. The story is preposterous but fun with a good ending. Enjoyed this a lot.
