Kkotpadang: Joseonhondamgongjakso

Set in the Josean Period, this is a story of an unlucky woman whose fate changes along the way when she meets a matchmaker. The woman is a hard worker and ends up having to choose between her growing up boyfriend who became like her family or her new boss who she has feelings for as well. But, then the story changes to the acts of forgiveness between lovers and friends ultimately giving everyone peace and happiness in their life. The music was superb. It reminded me of theater music from an orchestra and there are many songs throughout the show. Each one, revealing the feelings going on the show. It's overall, very happy with family dynamics and politics of course.

For early episode were so good. But from ten to latest episode really bad

I really enjoyed watching this romantic comedy. While some of the plot was predictable, there were enough twists in the storyline to keep this viewer watching the drama to the very end (without skipping).

I thought the cast did a great job with the script they were given. I especially enjoyed the main male and female leads. I empathized with the young king, who turned out to be both wise and benevolent to all of his subjects.

Kudos to the director, set designer, wardrobe designer and screenwriters for doing a marvelous job in bringing this historic fictional drama alive. Kudos to all. Watch it!

Romantic drama with small bits of comedy relief. I would love to see another season! The costuming is wonderful and the sets appear so realistic that I feel like they filmed it all in real period buildings. Casting seems mostly dead on, with most having a well rounded range of acting skills.

It is sometimes confusing exactly what time period we are looking at, as some things conflict with the costumes, such as sunglasses. These things are easily overlooked, though.

I also really appreciated the well-done subtitles.

And if Park Jihoon ever wanted to give ME a manicure, I would certainly not say no!

After 30 minutes of watching, I already know who will end up with who. Sadly, I root for the king and I really like him. It is like a bad case of second lead syndrome that I can't sympathize with the lead or like him until the end. The rest went downhill for me and completely lost interest in the story. my rating is for the king and the other two flower boys.
