    – JO JUNG-SEOK! This drama made me fell in love with his bodyguard character so hard, only to have my heart yanked out of my chest at the end. His bromance with LSG is beautiful to behold~ Worth all the pain, honestly.
    – HA JI-WON is always badass, and it’s no different in this drama. I freaking love her skepticism over being betrothed to a spoiled af prince and the continued refusal of his courting gifts. And the moments when we see her resolve starting to break, ahhhh yes. I was right there with her, swooning over love declarations.
    – LEE SEUNG-GI as a spoiled prince with a great character’s arc! He went from a pampered prince to a swoon-worthy king in the span of the 16 episodes. What not to love about that? I especially remembered the first official meeting between Prince Lee Jea-ha and Comrade Kim Hang-ah that involves a Dunkin Donut PPL that made me craved donuts for days. HA.

    No words can explain how much I love this drama! Especially the end (minus the Earnest Bot part) where both fought to defeat the villain and lead their happily ever after

    I have no idea if this show will stand the test of time but I remember it being wholesome and good enough for 2015. There was hardly anything I disliked (maybe HJW’s acting a little) but tragedy, drama, romance, everything was well done. Earnest bot is the best forever though.

      I haven’t re-watched it since 2015 either but also don’t remember anything problematic about it. I’m sure it might be a bit over the top, but it might also have to do with my own taste changing.
      The only thing I remember not liking was the weird villain? He was kinda cartoonish in his villainy. Lolols
