Ngl I put off watching this show for ages cuz im not really into bl and this sounded like a bl. But recently I started watching it out of boredom and even tho I was a little bored in the first two episodes ( cuz they were mainly introductory and things haven’t really started yet.) I genuinely enjoyed this show so much. My all time favorite kdrama was alchemy of souls and nothing could be as good as that. I’m happy to announce that I found something just as good and on the same level.
THIS DRAMA WAS GENUINELY SO GOOD I CANT GET OVER IT. The chemistry between the leads was insaneeee it’s crazy how good they were together. I literally couldn’t get enough of them wtegdhdgsdgf.
All the side characters were so good as well and I love how everyone had their own love stories and love triangles.
You can’t really hate any of the antagonists cuz they even have this little sides to them that makes u kinda like them.
Did I mention how much I love the main leads together? I literally hungrily watched every episode without breaks just to see more of them. The relationship wasn’t too fast nor too slow paced. The amount of screen time for them perfect. I didn’t even care that technically that’s a man inside the woman’s body. I fucking loved them.
The ending left me a little conflicted and sad cuz I really liked the king and sobong. And it pained me to think about bonghwan living in the modern world alone now with the knowledge that cheoljong is dead. But after watching that little spin-off thing I saw how good soyong and cheoljong were together as well. And really bonghwan and soyong pretty much had the same personality just that soyong had to hold herself back. I’m sure cheoljong will help her feel comfortable enough to be her real self throughout their marriage.
In short I muss them terribly and I can’t move on from them at all. Literally nothing is helping and I keep thinking about them 24/7. I really hope I find something to get my mind off of them. I’ll definitely rewatch it again, multiple times at that.
