Absolutely gripping, but needs a second season desperately.

I am an avid kdrama watcher and I cannot even make it through this ridiculous mess. Why associate this with The Count of Monte Cristo?? I am totally offended for Dumas. This show does not show the brilliance that is kdrama. It is redundant and pointless. Very serious crimes are committed and brushed off and in the end the villains win? I understand that Penthouse made this kind of villain victory popular but it is not entertaining or relevant. I am disappointed in the writers. Do not waste your time.. not worth it!!

Kim So Hyun did a wonderful job and she had such striking chemistry with the whole cast I was blown away. Though I rooted for Ji Soo as On Dal, and he seemed to fit the role perfectly, Kim So Hyun smoothly transitioned the change in cast with elegance and ease. She just got a new fan through this show. Great story, great plot and everyone did a great job.

This show gave me many headaches. It's very hard to watch if you have a heart. It depicts villains as always been rewarded for their evil ways and the good guy always finishes last. I don't like the ethical message it give people, of do your worst and all will be well. The world is already hard enough to have to sit through this disappointing story of spoilt princes and princesses always getting their ways while stomping on good people. Ugh! I couldn't finish it, I just read the recaps to see if it got any better only to realize there is no end to the injustice. Hopefully they rectify this in season 2, if not this is the most ridiculous show ever.
