I enjoy your drama first was great but the ending, you should make 1
more episode, the ending was not to good, you should show what happen
to the war and what happen to the other country.
I give 4 1/2 stars.
To the director make one more add on episode.

There’s something wrong with the culture in this drama.. its too melancholy or its like just putting on costumes for the sake of this drama.. the hairstyle, the acting.. I dont know.. I cannot feel it as well as I felt in Jumong or Dong Yi, or Jewel in the Palace where traditions really reign and you could feel into the story itself.. the ending is also too abrupt! But glad the King and Queen both lived to ripe old age.

Its an intresting film,but its ending looks a little bit incomplete,show us what happend to suk tal,the great merchant, other nation and how it really happend
and let the film show more of the queen and sooRo as in their instinct relationship and siblings.
And honestly speaking,the queen or princess from india really make the film especialy intresting.

i enjoyed this. JS and SJH look very good together. SJH is a very beautiful and versatile actress.

This was not the worst kdrama I have watched but it’s pretty bad. It probably is offensive to the memory of the actual people depicted. For that reason alone the production people should atone for this atrocity and have professionals redo it, as the story is pretty good and it is supposedly historical.
