I'm tired of counting how many times I did "rukalitso" in the final, but I'm still going to miss this addiction.
The ending with ghosts/visions and the dialogues "You are my first friend" were very touching, but Lee Son's death was not. Predictable and ridiculous.
Briefly about the drama: we started for health, finished for peace.

At the moment of the coronation + the ghosts are already goosebumps.

I watched the drama only because of Gon, surprisingly he survived (Khwagun - my favorite character - was killed, I thought the same fate awaits him), I am very glad.
I didn't like watching the chemistry of the main characters. In the Scarlet Hearts, as for me, everything was much better.

Oh! I forgot to mention it! The logic of the king is gorgeous! I am a good and kind king, I fought for 5 years to become king to save my people from the suffering of tyrypyra, but I don't care about the fate of the peoples if there is no beloved! What is the logic of a real ruler!!! * sarcasm* And does not even think about the benefits of marriage for the country

@Mariya_Tkach: yeah) sits on the throne and starts the old hurdy-gurdy "I don't want to be king" Virgo, for the first time in the last 8 episodes, acted wisely, did not interfere. But here, in the worst traditions of Hollywood films, a beautiful knight / king / billionaire (underline)he runs after her, pushes a long honey speech about eternal love. I didn't listen to the speech, because this couple became sick at the end, but just stuck to the beautiful royal face in beautiful royal clothes. The stylists coped with the task perfectly.

The ministers are like, "according to the law, you can't marry this woman," the king is like, "I said I'm getting married," and those are like, "Oh, OK, che." That is, they didn't even show a single normal conflict, everything was so easily resolved by itself. Boring. If he had to choose, then any choice of a hero would raise the drama in my eyes many times. And so it's too sloppy, from the emotions of the finale - only disappointment.
Honestly, I love Yoo Seung Ho very much, it was clear with what dedication he played his hero, they wrote that shooting brought him to exhaustion (it can be seen in the frame). But even his talent was not enough to make the cardboard hero memorable. Or maybe such roles are also needed by the actor for comparison, given that his previous images are all very colorful and ambiguous?
And yes, I watched the first half of the drama because everything was interesting, including the main love line. The flashback with the chicken reminded me that I really liked dorama. And then everything and everyone was leaked, and I watched mostly for the sake of Gong, Hwa Gong and the hope that maybe the action would unfold by the end.

everything was said from the middle
, the snot outweighed common sense and it became completely unbearable
the king came out too chivalrous, already reduces his teeth
at first adequate ga eun was drained, or rather filled in, with the same snot
they simply forgot about all the high ideas of the prince, and the dog with them, better a pizza of sugar declarations of love and suffering faces of a couple of gg
Anyway has no complaints about the actors: son ho is a great fellow, and seo hyun is already an experienced young lady, a separate bow towards ela 💛 I won
't say that the dorama is quite a bottom, but it was not possible to keep the bar to the end 😕
3/5

The first episodes were difficult, I didn't even think that I would be able to watch the drama in the near future, but, surprisingly, closer to the middle, the plot began to capture more and more.
The love line somehow reminded me of "6 flying dragons". Still, there are cool main characters like Hwa Gun from time to time, it's a pity that they always stay in the gap.
Comparing with the last viewed sagyks, this one is not inferior to them in any way, in some ways it even surpasses them. The very idea of giving the Crown Prince a mask so that no one could recognize him by sight is quite original. And Pensuhwe, controlling people with the help of poppy balls, brought variety to the world of familiar villains, which I also liked.

The idea is interesting, but at some point the plot turned the wrong way. At first, the crown prince made plans, acquired connections, prepared to fight enemies, and something epic and intriguing was expected, but then it evaporated, and everything came down to jealousy and the confrontation of two for a woman. And the denouement was a bit boring.

I'm boiling over again.
What has been going on with historical dramas in general lately? Why do the channels have original stories, but they just trash them?

I was very attracted to the idea and the actors. First of all, I was glad that Son Ho and Chol Min (Wu Bo's teacher) are playing together again. And my expectations were not in vain, they fit perfectly into the frame again)

I liked all the women in the series, except the main character. Koreans are very fond of innocent girls who need to be protected. That's not my type. So Ga Eun, the tears and vanilla around her were one of the biggest downsides of the series. And the extra drama around her self-sacrifice made me laugh. Seriously. Although at the beginning of the series, I even approved of the prince and Ga Eun couple.
The main character is also not a gift, even if he is played by an excellent actor. The false king, played by the idol, did not catch on in any way. I'm sorry, El.
That's why the Mock was cool, yes.

The main disadvantage is the plot. It would be possible to finish this drama in 12 episodes, just throwing out the middle, where the creators delayed the prince's return to the throne very much. The plot turned out to be very primitive, and very often led to a facepalm. Like, say, in this last episode, where Lee Song was killed. Well done, what to say.

The only thing I liked about the plot was that they showed different kinds of love between people. Hwa Gun, who, despite her affiliation, loved her family's enemy with all her soul, even though she knew that he would never reciprocate. She gave her all. And Lee Song, who seemed to love, but turned out to be an egoist who forcibly wanted to take over the woman he loved.
Although we often meet such topics.

I kept a few skeletons from the drama, which I really liked. "잠시나마" I'll be listening for ages. That's for sure.
But I'll give the drama 3 out of 5 and go watch something else.

I liked the drama. There was a lot of flushing in it, for example, "the government changes or spoils people." Indeed, not every person will be able to manage power correctly. Love is a strong thing. For the sake of their loved ones, the heroes went to their deaths. Good will always defeat evil. I really liked the cast, everyone did a great job with their role. It's a pity for Hwa Gun, Lee Song and other heroes who died, but it was worth it. I liked Ga Eun, a sweet and strong girl. But most of all, the Crown Prince, who is full of justice and confidence, has endeared himself to himself.
It is determined that the drama will remain in the heart

It's a pity for Lee Son, he's kind of recovered from drugs and power and that's the end... And in what sense did the name appear? Did his parents not give him a name and he lived for 17 years (or skok there) without a name?
It's beautiful, colorful, but damn, in the end it's just kind of stupid 🤦♀️😔
