I really like it

One of my favorite Korean drama. Many episodes but the story is so amazing

Sad saga of two sisters separated at birth but fall in love with the same man.

People should watch this, it's outstanding. What a story. It going to make your heart stop. A love story with difference. I highly recommend it for your viewing. Me in Kaikohe, New Zealand watching this. Characters do what you never expect to happen. It going to make you cry. It a sad story of the two sisters separated at birth. The one sent out on the death boat stabbed in the heart with a hair pin, should have surely died but didn't. Many of her experiences should have killed her but she managed to survive to the very end. How did both sisters end up loving the same man. In his heart was only the one and this love ended killing both of them. So the end is heartbreakingly painful but so appropriate for the two of them. Be great for them to write a sequel so that they can get their happy ever after like the Legend of the Blue Sea. Ja-myung probably could have saved her people but being waylaid by her lovers ambitions and feelings. In the end they are the beach and see the Goguryeo soldiers approaching them. Prince Hodong who has been seriously wounded by his lover Ja-myung takes her tightly in his arms and slides his sword through both of them knowing they can not be together in this life. So romantic but so totally tragic, unable to be together in life so together in death.

Even thought the end is heart wrenching and I cried a bucket I just loved it so much. Is this why Asian love these tragic movies? I keep going back and watching that agonising, distressing and excruciating last episode. It is pitiful and sorrowful. I think I'm going to rewatch it and get some more pictures for my online review.

a story of love and hate. melodramatic, well-made, seductive for the delicacy of nuances and the drops of magic, work of the ambitious Korean film industry, it seems be far by classic series . not always convincing, it has the gift to explore in inspired manner the roots and the force of feelings. a love story, it represents a not bad story about the choices and their birth. story about political ambitions, it is a beautiful fresco of a great civilization . interesting , nice, remembering slices from childhood, it is not exactly great but useful as entertainment and as door to a special universe. the old themes in new clothes. that could be all. or, only the beginning because, like each series, it has as character the viewer himself.

Well, I had a little higher than usual expectations from looking at the cast members but at least it didn't take too long to realize what it had in store for us. The drama kicked off to a bad start leaving an ominous bad impression. The first 1/3 of the drama was set in the past giving us a ridiculously boring and generic backstory of the leads, starting with their parents and moving on to their birth, early childhood, and teenage years. These kids turned out to be the worst part of the drama, totally unlikable - both the characters and the actors playing them. And it didn't get any better when we were introduced to their adult versions. The romance and love triangle were downright despicable, filled with self-pity, sappy motivations, and a bunch of whiny kids. A wild suggestion, why not take the drama from the beginning of episode 39 into a different direction? Extend it with another 20 episodes, remove the romance, have the FL be the empress of her nation, and conquer neighboring nations.
