This is not your ordinary Kdrama. The storyline and cinematography are well-thought. It's a breath of fresh air from the typical kdrama. I was personally not into LMH. His past characters were all the same to me. I wasn't really impressed with his acting. But I think LMH gave justice to his role as an emperor in this drama. His acting skills have massively improved and they way he puts emotions is not overly done (unlike his previous roles). KGE, on the other hand, is an excellent actress. She got me started with this drama. :) her ability to control her emotions, her acting voice, facial expressions are just superb; very natural. Oh and her crying scenes! When these two actors try to build romance, no words needed. Their eyes say it all. I just wish they make the product placement a bit more subtle. So if you like cheesy drama with a boring plot, this is not for you.
