The angst is already over-flowing in the teasers... T_T

This is one drama where I really wouldn't care for a bromance. There's so much politics that could be exploited and an epic love story to be told so I have bigger priorities lol. I do love the idea of the Crown Prince doing all the good deeds secretly for his people though. That's already an interesting story in itself!

I'm curious about Yoon So-hee's character. We haven't seen much of her at all. But I suppose this is also the first concrete thing we've seen of L so she's probably next.

This drama looks like it will be epic with a High quality production. So intriguing.

Me: i won't the teaser.
Teaser: why?
Me: it will only make me want to time travel to may 10, so i won't.
Teaser: you're kidding right, who cares if you watch, it's having a lotta views already.
Me: i still won't.
Teaser: *hisses* simply pack yourself at a corner and keep quiet..

I am so unbelievably pumped for this drama! I hope it's as good as the trailers imply

I'm really excited for this drama and so far it's looking good! Can't wait!

Guess I need to take a trip to the mall to buy dozen tissue coz its gonna be sad.... I hope so hee's character is not a typical evil second female lead.

I expect it to go epically wrong.. bring on the angst!

Looks like it has potential. Keeping fingers crossed the writing will be good with the romance and the bromance!

I've watched the video greet of yoo seung ho & kim myung soo (the one where they are both wearing king's robe) and it is where I noticed their similarities (height, built, facial features) now I understand why it has to be L.

I am excited for this, but mostly Kim So Hyun, she is a Korean national treasure and frankly she outclasses L as an actor and surpasses Yoo Seung Ho as an actor. I hope its good.

I'm excited for this! Kim Myungsoo let's do this!!

all that beauty. l cant wait

I'm sorry to mess with the comments section, bringing another subject, but someone PLEASE make a post about Lee Sung-kyung and Nam Joo-hyuk dating in real life because I need to fangirl A LOT right now????

It's like a drug of happiness, sorry guys!!!

Oooh I can see the similarity (height, built, facial features) when L and Yoo Seung-ho are dressed up and placed side-by-side in that shot. Good casting! I hope acting skills wise, they are also balanced enough so no one actor needs to completely carry the show. (And of the two, I am most concerned about L). The last show I saw L in was a few years ago in Shut Up! Flower Boy Band, where he was still super green and kinda overacted his angst. He has a much larger role to play here so I'm crossing my fingers that his acting has improved since then!

I just want a good story. Too many of the recent saeguks have had good casts but suck ass plots.

What's with the drama names these days... 'Ruler - Master of the mask', 'Master: God of Noodles', 'Master of Trade - Inn'...

Woahhh this just looks super interesting but I'm already watching 6 dramas *cries*

YSH really chooses his drama well --- he can play victim, villain, hearthrob, and every year he comes back maturely and strong from movies to dramaland.

Now seeing Yoo Seung and L side by side, for the first time I thought the casting made sense because they looked quite similar. I always thought that L is taller and has a bigger body built than Yoo Seung Ho though but I guess that isn't much of the case now.
It's interesting to see this bromance go all wrong and L turns into an antagonist. How will Yoo Seung Ho (I mean Lee Seon prince ofc) would feel to see his buddy betray him for power and the woman he himself love?
Can't wait to watch this drama out, feel this has huge potential, please don't mess up!

I love this!! The teases are getting better and better as we approach the broadcast date!! I quite like our main trio, so I'm excited for 5/10!! Bring on the angst and turmoil!! *rubs hands in glee*

This is looking more and more interesting.

Its look like a recipe for disaster-bromance. Heck can we even call it bromance?

On the other note, if L gonna act as pseudo-LeeSun and real-LeeSun gonna pretend he is not the crown prince meaning, KSH gonna hate the L-LeeSun not YSH-LeeSun? And maybe, maybe we'll have a longer fluff between YSH and KSH. Well before she learned that YSH is real LeeSun.

Just give me the angst one at a time please drama? My poor heart cannot take both angst from romance and bromance.

Ahh. This drama sound like it gonna be full of angst! ??

Well buckle my swashes. It's really surprising how much YSH and L resemble each other. Wow.

I'm definitely getting a MASQUERADE vibe, too.

PLEASE drama gods for the love of all that is holy, let L's acting chops shine through this time around... I've loved L since his idol debut but I cannot watch him act without cringing a little. PLEASE!!

Can't help but worry about L's acting. His co-star is YSH for crying out loud, his acting inadequacies would be magnified ten-fold. Can't help but wish YSH has a better co-star, Yeo Jin Goo for instance.

Please let this drama be good. *crosses fingers*

Gosh this looks like it's filled with all of the period drama cliches one could imagine but its SO PRETTY that I almost wanna watch it...
