Ji 13h Best historical drama about the young king, never laughed so hard and cried so hard in the same movie before. See more SK 5d Not worth the hype at all. I went against my better judgment. The trailer did not draw me in but I was duped by the high ratings. See more Susan K 6d Wonderful story. Loved the actors. Beautiful scenery. Highly recommend! See more Loan Mar 31 The movie was wonderfully written and directed. Park Jihoon and Yoo Haejin acted beautifully in their roles. There were moments where there were laughter and tears. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. See more Sooji A Mar 30 Great casting & a beautiful story telling. Heart broken with a tragic history but it was really good!
