I enjoyed this Historical drama immensly. I was engrossed in the pain and frustration that the Empress and her allies endured all because of politics. To see how people use others to gain power it sickens me, but how wonderful to see that there can still be a degree of goodness in some people. I will miss the characters...

Like uhh what the hell just happen all those death of the generals were so balls deep but it was also meaning less they could have just lived if they didnt fight and why did the queen just stop fighting or trying when she found the emperor.... the ending was good overall its an average and i dont think the GAY is needed in this drama...

Push past the cheesy, laughable attacking bears in episode 1, and you will be rewarded! Ok... also forgive the first 4 min of ep. 19.

I was hooked into this show, the acting was very real, haha. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this drama show deserves a high rating and a good review from me. So, April 25th I just finished watching this spectacular drama and it was amazing. The beginning and middle was this-and-that but the ending was really something. Highly Recommend this drama to others,although it might take a while to finish watching all 78 episodes.

Being a K-Drama fan & Historian by trade, I was very delighted with this Series. Very well done & even with dramatic license taken I was very impressed with how much story you got with the history available. That's great talent. hat's off the all the Acting & production crew who put this together. Thank-you

By far the best ending of any of the historical dramas that I have watched. Most all of the nefarious characters were offed , which is highly unusual. And those final two scenes were just beautiful. For a while I was thinking there were only 47 episodes and then when I saw there were 78 I thought how are they going to stretch it out. But those last episodes just flew by.
