I'm in a few episodes, and I feel like the story is a bit confusing, not because I don't understand the flow of the plot, but because I think the motivation of the characters doesn't feel like they're deep enough. Thus the characters seem a bit flat.
I was looking for the venomous political strife in the palace of the Joseon dynasty; the schemes, the twists, and of course, the whirlwind romance of the monarchs, but so far, the characters and events are yet to make a remarkable impression on me. They don't seem significant enough.
It feels a little bit lackluster for me. I see how things could've been better, but I personally think this drama is kind of dull. I'll come back when I finish it, if I see to it that it's worth it. I may just be impatient, but we'll see.
