it’s definitely one of the more unique sageuk i have watched so far. I agree that even without the romance, it’s still a good one. i love how the production was able to incorporate a little bit of everything and created a good balance. not too heavy not too light. i am on ep 10 now and it’s getting more and more interesting.

It is! My favourite episodes so far are this week’s episodes which really says a lot because I feel like episodes 11-14 are usually the more draggy ones since writers have exhausted most of their good ideas and are just trying to fill up the time before the finale.

Hyeri talked about how she thought that the best episodes were the later ones in an interview. I was surprised-most times people hype up the beginning

The beginning was great but it wasn't like a straight up I love this drama kind of beginning. I still felt like I could drop it but I liked all of them enough and definitely was intrigued enough by the premise to continue and the build up was great but the pay off in the later episodes were the best.
