so many characters to follow in the story, quite complicated and looks like lady mi shil was such a fertile (or is it virile?) woman – mating with many and producing many offsprings ! wow …hahaha… whatawoman !

great drama, I even learned some Korean words, hahaha …but to the very end I was hoping Bidam and Deokman end up together…such a sad ending, I enjoyed it but try not to think about the ending and what happened to Bidam because it makes me depressed…
August 15th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
my most favorite Kdrama ever.I thought it will always be jumung but no. not any more.I felt like someone stabbed a thousand knife in my heart in the last episode when bi dam died. but the death of the queen made the tragedy less. because you know that she would not suffer and they will meet again in a better place and this time they can finally put suspicions aside and trust each other with no fear

Queen seon duk she look preety
August 24th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Very good show! I would prefer if deokman died beside bidam holding his hands or what. At least i won’t feel so heart ache for Bidam. First time i cried for a show. Love Bidam so much. Feel that Deok man is not worth his love.
August 25th, 2011 at 1:29 am
already watch 3 times, still shed tears. i prefer kim yushin, he always faithful for deokman. really like watching when deokman become his namdong, they’r perfect lover…. his devotion brougt deokman be d’queen, eventhough toying his wedding with hajong’s daughter. Uhm tae woong did great job BRAVO oppa, but looking gorgeous in Dr Champ. But Bidam?? how tragic u’r ….Kim nam gil 2 thumbs up! QSD had d’best director, screenwriter, actor, music, etc. afterall QSD d’best historical drama ever after….

I read some comments by other viewers from other sites saying that bidam was like mishil. I do not agree. mishil was cruel and cold-hearted. she even left her own child. but bidam was desperate for love. he wanted his mother’s love.his master’s love and dukman’s love. he was scared and lonely and he wanted to be good person and that’s even more important . there is this part where he says: I want to give without wanting anything in return. honestly is it any like mishil? and dukman actually did fell in love with bidam. if getting comfort and calmness from someone is not love then what is it?
