I wish I had know ahead of time that Lee Jae Yong was in this series. If I had, I would not have bothered watching it. Although I am sure there are a lot of people that like him, personally, I cannot stomach the man. It is a shame, that I will not be able to watch the remainder of the series, but I refuse to watch anything that has that annoying man in it. I absolutely adore Lee Seo Jin, but not enough stomach Lee Jae Yong. In future, I will check the cast more thoroughly in advance before beginning any movie/ tv series.

This drama was very interesting as long as the crown prince later the king kept the romance with the love of his life. Killing her and then continuing with the drama removes that interest that kept us all watching. Do all Korean dramas end with a sad ending? I thing it was very wrong to put this sad ending to an otherwise entertaining story. I am very disappointed that i started watching it at all.

They should not kill Seong Song Yeon. It would be better to have her until the end. BTW who is the mother of the crown prince who later became the king.

August 16th, 2011 at 12:29 am
i dont like sad endings, song yeon shudn’t have died, thats the worse ending, she shud have stayed alive and the king shud have found the cure for the disease

Korean drama and especially yi san is really a film in which everyone should try to see it.we as a KORD a part of IRAQ in the south west of Asia really i can say love those dramatic and historical dramas as ,yi san ,dong yi , jo mong and all other.because most of them talk about the situation which is we see now in our region.i want to thank all the actors and the director of those dramas.

I really want to watch this drama but it seems like it’s too long. The ratings were amazing. But it was too long n oh long I don’t have the time to watch it

So many loopholes, twist not justified, characters appear to be stupid, very far from jumong, jewel in the palace, Dong Yi, the empress, king dae jong and others….but I still love korean novelas
