What brought me to this show is a youtube short of the empress declaring new laws on divorce. The minute i saw that scene i thought i must watch it right away. I completed the entire show of 3 seasons in 5 days. I couldnt pause or stop it.
Its exciting because you do not know what to expect unlike other shows. The acting is impeccable, you will be drawn to all the characters and the way it is played will make you feel everything that the characters are feeling.
Its a period tv show that you must not miss. Classy, comedic, dark, gory, melodramatic, empowering, overall amazing.
I am extremely heartbroken that the show got cancelled after 3 seasons. Would have loved to see what the empress does next in her reign.
