Bloody Heart is easily the best drama I’ve seen in last 3 years. If you told me I’d be squealing over political machinations in a sageuk a few months back, I would not be able to fathom it at all. Even romcoms haven’t given me the same delight as seeing the palace politics in this drama unfold. This show is smart, characters deliciously grey, follows an exciting storytelling structure each episode, and has outstanding music. Plus you have the actors that all are microexpression experts. I’m not ready to bid it goodbye tomorrow. And as far as the show is going on, I can’t predict how they will end it in one episode. Hoping it catches up with ratings and hype because we need such shows.

    I was reminded of what you used to say about Tae in the earlier episodes, in this penultimate episode. A king wanting total power does not bode well for the citizens but Bloody Heart was already prepared to handle that.

    Not that I don’t like good political machinations but I haven’t seen that in many of the sageuks because I have been more aware of the fusion/fantasy ones. But I think in sageuks good palace politics that involves all leads and explains every move is my niche? I guess that’s quite hard to find so BH really is a gem.

    It is excellent. I don’t usually like palace politics but they are fun here. I think because there is no bad guy, per say, everyone is both right and wrong.
