This drama is such a great drama. The story-line is really good written. No dull episode. It has all reasonable moments. The drama doesn’t suit those who seek for romance. I really like how they portrait the two protagonists : not only kind, but also smart and quick witted. I myself prefer girl who smart rather than cute to be the lead. I almost stop watching ep 2 because it seems a bit lack and quite boring at the beginning but after ep 3, the story is growing up well. For the ending, I don’t find it bad. It’s a good ending. Some viewers find it bad for the co-lead to die, but for greater picture, his death is the best punishment for all bad characters and good turnover point for the two leads. Anw, this drama is highly recommended. I would give 99.9/100.

Woah finally this is the drama that ive been looking for. Ive watched many korean drama but didnt find it interesting til i watched maids. The sypnopsis is really good and the acting for the actor are good as well, it’s not all about romance, and what i like in this drama is when moo myong act so cool but secretly have a feeling for in yub and help her in many times, i think it’s more romantic than all those cheesy romantic words also i’m speechless with kim eun ki’s love. Till the end of his life, he still sacrifice for in yub! What an exellent drama. I totally recommend this.One of best saeguk dramas for me!! spent my sleep time till 3am for this drama just bcoz so curious ’bout the next ep…

One of best saeguk dramas for me!! spent my sleep time till 3am for this drama just bcoz so curious ’bout the next ep…
Feel sad for the tragic love story and I don’t like In Yeob being with Moo Myeong .. it’s like why would u have a feeling for him? for me Moo Myeong didn’t do anythimg based on his own will, he just looked like a puppet that couldn’t do anything on his own (he did what others told him to do, he just took an advantage as a prince) he didn’t deserve to get In Yeob’s heart.. he was using his position n power (chances from the king) to save In Yeob and he was just being selfish…
I thought why In Yeob thanked Moo Myeong for she’s being the noble back. IT WAS ALL BCOZ EUN KI NOT MOO MYEONG.. Who did ask King Taejo to write a letter about the secret task for InYeob’s father?!?! IT WAS EUNKI MANN PLZZZ!!
I’m pretty sure INYEOB LOVED EUNKI MUCH MORE than she did to MooMyeong… She gave some space in her heart for MooMyeong NOT BCOZ SHE LOVE HIM.. It was bcoz she pity him and felt like she owe him…

this is a series really worth watching, a little mystery, a little thriller, romance, etc. gutsy lady who faced all odds to resolve her family’s honor be restored. no loose ends at the end. it paid to read some history on king taejo and his son to understand the rift between father and son, but in here there was a twist, i think, to make the writing simpler. the official title should be ‘servants’ not ‘maids’, as the story involved how servants were treated in general – as chattel commodities – in those times.

let’s vote and support Maids

Daebak..!!! This drama is really awesome..!!! I couldn’t take my eyes from looking to the TV screen when watching it. But yes, this drama is not suitable for those who search for rom com type of drama. This drama is about struggle. I really love ‘Maids’.
