There's no telling how much faulty impressions you'd get if your 1st sageuk was MLSHR or Hwarang or Moon embracing the Sun, because then you'll have it on high pedestal, comparing the other Sageuks to your 1st one for some time for all the wrong reasons. I watched the first 15 minutes or so and knew how they would treat the king's character that I couldn't stand to watch anymore. I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). I found the ending a little stretched don't get me wrong, I always want happy endings and in this case a life as commoners for Ha-Seon and the Queen, but it seemed to me that the story was wrapped up that way to create suspense about Ha-Seon fate (and, I think, to give us assurance that his life will be safe in the future). From shock and tension through to sadness and bittersweet goodbyes, this 75 minute episode encapsulated everything Ive loved about this show since I begun covering it 2 months ago. Jang Gwang. The end was quite disapointing, I mean the jump in the future was useless. Sheesh. It really speaks out my mind almost perfectly why I did not really enjoy watching this drama, especially after Yi Heon's death. Anyway, overall best Korean drama ever! He says that even if he stepped down and one of them took the throne, the country would be okay. Anyway, this was my first sageuk and I'm really glad I watched it.

(link to my Episode 8 write up because it wasnt letting me do it as a word hyperlink: http://www.dramabeans.com/members/sicarius/activity/709687/ ). What a lovely ending. I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. It wasn't surprising. Because it seeemed that he was a good Crown Prince until his dad died and made this stupid discour before. We the fans who stuck with MLSHR to the end instead of MLDBC, did it simply because of the lost potential that shone through the mess time to time, not because it was a better drama than MLDBC. Gotta watch the final episode again.??? It's taking all my concentration, too. Unnecessary death of the officer. Irrelevant time frame.

What if she had killed herself in that field and seeing him was an illusion? But Ha Sun states that he has committed no crimes, because the secret letter was his way of protecting the nation, which is his duty as king. If they had planned to make Ha-Sun abdicate the at the very least I wish they could've introduced his successor before so it didn't feel like he came outta nowhere. Both Moo-young and Eunuch Jo advise Ha Sun to have him come to the capital to protect him, but Ha Sun says that people will be killed if Aisin Gurun attacks. Though the family seems fine, their pet dog, Sadie, refuses to enter the home and continues barking frantically. I cannot believe that Lord Shin would have allowed himself to walk into a trap.

While there were memorable scenes and dialogue, I feel like the overall message the show was trying to convey got muddled along the way. That too, out of desperation I would have taken as some sort of poetic justice, because Yi Heon died so Ha Seon could be king, and Ha Seon died because of Yi Heon's crimes against the Queen Dowager. there could have been a slight nod to MASQUERADE by perhaps having Ha-seon and So-woon leaving on a vessel pulling from shore with maybe Moo-young on shore making a bow; :) The fact that he did it on his own, without Minister Lees help, was sad but also impressive, and he proved to himself that hes capable of anything despite his low birth.
