Im excited to finish this drama… I am hating the child from the start and Jank Ok jung being mean… She has inferiority complex bec of crime she plotted. Awwwww
January 26th, 2014 at 12:46 am
the ending episode drama very sad i was about 2 crying..she sacrifice her life for a true love n dont want the king got a trouble if she release..i love this drama even the ending episode not a happy ending..

Was the relationship between the king & joj love as “joj live in love” portrays or was it sort of business as “dong yi” portray?
According to history she harmed her son (crown prince) moments before she was to be poisoned!!! Due to that her son was sterile & ill through out his 4 year reign. When he died, Dong yi’s son succeeded him & reign for 52years. If that is true about her harming her son then I am more apt to believe her machinations in “dong yi” then “joj live in love”. But I am still confuse about the king’s love for her and/or dong yi. Did he love both or one of them (if so which one)

Very recommended drama watch it for 5 time never bored

The way it was portrayed, it was very different from Dong Yi. The same people, same era, events – but twisted completely. Kind of strange since it involves real history with real people in it. The king Suk Joong, the way Yoo Ah In delievered it, he was quite a mean, scheming, sly and unsavory character altogether. While in Dong Yi the king, played by Jin Hee I think, was quite a nice, patient, wise and righteous even…Ok Jung is portrayed as a kind-hearted but went wrong due to her love and devotion to the king – so it’s the king who is the devil here, not Ok Jung. And I have to say Ah In did it quite well, playing the devil, he did look despicable, downright mean.
Since it involves real history with real people in it…don’t anyone object to this kind of twisting – could be called slander? – especially if there are descendants of those very people involved…? Strange.

it’s a wonderful drama

Just finished watching this drama and I really thoroughly enjoyed it! One of the best dramas I have watched so far. The cast was really good and I especially love the 3 main characters Kim Tae Hee, Yoo Ah In and Hong Soo Hyun. Really great cast! The write must be congratulated – I love the plots and twist and the so so many OMG moments – just marvelling the way the story twist and changes. Absolutely brilliant. Watching these kind of dramas, I do keep in mind that historically, some facts may not be the truth as most dramas are romanticised and dramatised. All these great pursuit of love in these kind of dramas are sometimes in reality, far from it. Kings have so many wives and concubines. So, take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy the dramas! Highly recommended drama!

just finished watching ep. 9. there’s so much b.s. in their politics, and it’s always the same in the historical dramas i’ve watched. but politics is politics even to this day! nice series though. will see how the lead role will survive.

i’ve been postponing to finish the series – i can’t stand the meddling, b—chy queen mother, just in like most korean dramas i’ve watched. off to start another drama!
