Historical, romance, political
I love
the choice of song used by this drama. It is lovely and suitable for this
drama. On the other hand, I love storyline of the drama.
In the
beginning of the drama, the queen mother instructed the minister to kill the
prince Eui Sang (King's half brother) in order to retain the King's power. The
incident was witnessed by a shaman who was trying to prevent the incident from
happened. Unfortunately, the shaman presence was noticed by the Minister. The
shaman Ari ran away and was saved by a
pregnant lady. The shaman Ari saw the future of the baby. She knew that this
baby will face a great difficulty in the future if she stayed close to the Sun
(King). Ari promised the pregnant lady that she will try her best to protect
the girl. Later, Ari was captured by the minister and tortured to dead. Before
Ari died, she met her best friend, shaman Jung. She told
shaman to look for the girl and protect her no matter what.
Yeon Woo
and her mother went to the palace to attend her brother's honor ceremony. She was later met with the
guy (crown prince) in the palace. She mistaken him as a thief who stole things
from palace. The crown prince does not want to reveal his identity, therefore,
she doesn't know he is the Crown prince. After that day, both of them fall in
love with one another. Yeom (Yeon Woo's brother) due to his outstanding in his
study, he was assigned to be the teacher for the crown prince.
After
knowing that Yeom was Yeon Woo's brother, he get to know Yeon Woo more better.
He also wanted to marry her badly. He asked the King to choose his bride fairly
so that the queen mother does not interfere his marriage (queen mother wanted
him to marry with Yoon clan so that they can retain their power in the palace).
In the end, Yeon Woo excellent quality has impressed the King and thus she has
become the crown princess. Days before their wedding, Yeon Woo was cursed under
a spell and fall sick. She was forced to leave the palace and surrendered her
position to Yoon Clan. She then believed to be dead. Shaman Jung who cursed the
spell (due to the order of the queen mother) saved her life from the grave. She then raised her and
protected her from any danger. She tried to avoid her from getting closer to
the King.
Eights
years has passed. The King (Lee Hwon) missed his ex-Crown Princess who is
believed died due to critical illness. He hardly smile nor happy all the time.
He even refused to sleep with the queen to produce heirs. Even though the
ministers and queen mother kept pressuring him, he still refused to do so.
While the King was on his vacation to countryside, he met a lady who resemble
Yeon Woo. Yeon Woo has lost her memory and she could not remember any memory in
her past life. The king thought that Yeon Woo was alive and at the same time he
always reminded himself that Yeon Woo has died long time ago so that he won’t
fall in love with other lady.
One day,
the queen mother kidnapped shaman Jung's adopted daughter as she wanted to meet
shaman Jung. Queen mother requested this lady to be human talisman to the King
to absorb all the evil spirits. They sent her to the King chamber every night
while the King was sleeping for a month before the King and queen to produce
heir. After shaman staying beside the King all night, the King become more happy and healthy.
However, day after day the King noticed something suspicious. He decided not to
fall asleep an[][]d monitor who was the one entered his chamber. He then found out
that the lady from the countryside shaman is in his chamber and she even
touched the King's forehead. The King punished her and at the same time save
her.
The King
was suspicious regarding the death of his crown princess. He decided to
investigate the case secretly. Yeon Woo who suddenly regained her memories also
trying to investigate who is trying to kill her. Shaman Jung told her
everything. It was the princess Min Hwa who madly wanted Yeom to be her
husband. She desire in getting Yeom has become an object used to amplify the
black magic to curse a person. After the King knowing the truth, he punished
those who are involved in killing the crown princess. The king also kill those
ministers who a no longer loyal to him in the end of the story.
I like
Kim Soo Hyun acting in this drama. It was legend. He has a great character and
quality in portraying the King. His eyes, his manner and behaviour have well
presented. This drama required a strong sense of emotion in order bring the
best effect for the drama. I highly recommend this drama.
