[spoiler] tOne of my top picks for bests K-dramas from last year!
This is everything "Ruler: Master of the Mask" failed to succed and was mainly due to Jang Dong Yoon & Kim So Hyun acting, their best performances in their whole carrers if you ask me.
Jang Dong Yoon & Kim So Hyun won the Best Couple Award and the Excellence Award for Miniseries Male and Female at the 2019 KBS Drama Awards; also Kang Tae Oh won as Best New actor and Park Da Yeon as Best Child Actress.
First of all if you're looking for a historical drama with tons of fight scenes and action this is not your best choice cause even if it have some action scenes is more focused on romance and life of both of them.
All the cast was very good but I need to highlight two more actors, Jo Soo Hyang (Kim Ssook) as one of the strongest female characters I've seen and Kang Tae Oh as Cha Yool Moo, hes was PERFECT as the villain and he brings a new and better facet as an actor rather than just making comedy.
Glad the writer doesn't change so much and follow the story as in the web comic.
There are only two things I didn't like from this K-drama, the first, Jung Joon Ho as King Gwanghae wasn't the best choice and Jeon Hwang Tae's character as the dumbest character I've seen yet he managed to survive like what the heck!![/spoiler]

My score: 8.0/10
