Celina May 20 2026 10:52 am WOW... What a Drama!!! The storyline, the plot is so original, fresh, unique, and unpredictable. Powerful script, powerful performances by ALL actors. Well-written, well-directed, well-acted, well-produced. Enemies-turned-allies storyline is my favorite. A heatwarming story with Perfect ending. One of the best sageuk dramas I've ever watched in my life.

Zara May 03 2026 12:08 pm The best drama ever but somehow underrated? Lim Jiyeon is just insanely talented

Zaza Dec 10 2025 12:45 pm I’m just obsessed with Lim Jiyeon. She is truly outstanding hands down

Wade Manix Aug 02 2025 10:43 pm I got hooked on kdramas several months ago and have watched dozens of them so far. There have been a few I found memorable. This one will join that group. First, let me praise the writers for coming up with an original plot and developing it so well. The plot is really improbable, but they made it seem convincing. As in so many of these series, the acting is superb. These two lead stars should have been honored by their industry, and should be used frequently in future dramas. The idea of a young woman taking on the establishment at that time is commendable, but the introduction of homosexuality was a bold stroke that has to be praised. To conclude, the production, the direction, and the post-production are all excellent, but again, the writing and the acting, especially by the two leads, are to be celebrated. If you haven't seen this drama, you are missing out on a work of art.

April Jul 27 2025 1:14 am So good! I regret not watching this drama when it first aired last year. There wasn’t a single boring episode or plotline. The actors, script, and even the OST are perfect. This is now in my Top 3 best sageuk dramas.

Norik BC Jun 12 2025 3:15 pm Choo young Woo , first time seeing him in a drama ,I cannot stop my admiration ,by every episode ,as I watch , he becomes better and better developing his character . He is unbelievably talented actor ,even with his young age he has managed greatness . Korea get ready for another great artist in your midst. I wish that homosexual part was not included , this is a great drama about relationships . However just to see his acting please watch this drama , of course lim ji yeon , his female counterpart , had a great chemistry with him and others too bad she is 10 years older , and I’m sure the loving scenes were limited because of that , I don’t understand why they don’t pick leads closer to their ages . Every member has shown great talent , bravo to the director .

Norik BC Jun 11 2025 2:41 pm The acting of the leads and the supporting cast was excellent , specially some old favorites , as song dong II , oh dae won , Lee Jae won , and the new comers , choo young woo , Lee keuong hun . The plot or the storyline was not ever possible in historical times and it felt like a fake imagined scenario of modern day story .

Baeksang Check Apr 16 2025 8:55 pm Another surprising kdrama after lovely runner. Baeksang best drama nominees

Surprisingly good! I'm not a hardcore fan of saeguk dramas and i only like Under the Queen's Umbrella so far, but this series easily became one of my best watch! I'm impressed with the idea of fake identity for both main leads and i find it unique in way that its not the typical cliche story that goes a nobleman and a poor character getting involved in romantic relationship and the people around them trying to get in the way or whatever. Historical dramas are often filled with heavy corruption and violence, but this ones i think is a bit bearable. It is well written and i love how the people behind this series (directors, writers, etc.) along with the actors were able to give justice to this show.

Lim ji yeon really has the eyes of a villain that even tho she's the main protagonist here, her showing her feisty attitude whenever she's facing her enemies or fighting to get justice for her clients as a legal advocate scares me and gives me goosebumps.

Came here for chok Yeong Woo but fell inlove with Lim Ji Yeon.

gd Jan 30 2025 11:24 am It’s a good series, but I was hoping that Tae-young’s grandmother would have a significant role when the secret was revealed. At episode 3, they were talking about Tae-young and Yoon-gyeom’s marriage; but Tae-yeong is hesitant because of her real identity. Her grandmother mentioned that “If anything happens, I will take responsibility for it.” After that, her role/character just disappeared from the story.

Defie Jan 29 2025 4:02 am Dramaaa terrrdebessttt ❤️ Very good drama!

Dloo Jan 27 2025 9:25 am This is the best drama from 2024!

Nimi Jan 27 2025 4:39 am I can now This is the best 2024 drama. Thank you for giving us such a great masterpiece. No boring episodes and no plot hole at all. All actors and actresses tried so hard and it is so rewarding. Thanks to The real husband for coming back to give us a good ending. Thanks to the younger brother for growing up well. Thanks to the county village people for taking her back. Thanks to man seok for his sacrifices. Thanks to cho young woo for being such a great actor Thanks to Lim ji hyeon for being such a great actress. Thanks to the writer,casts and production team. Thank you thank youuuu thank you.

I want to say a lot but I’ll just say thank you so much.

OK Fan Jan 27 2025 3:59 am A beautiful tale and a wonderful ending...bless you, writer Park and all involved in this production.

EMMR Jan 26 2025 11:32 pm For real, I can also add this to my top 5 historical kdramas all time!

Chacha Jan 26 2025 2:31 pm Overall, very good. Loved the main characters. They did a great job.

Emil John Ababan Jan 26 2025 1:58 pm Decent series if you want to binge watch. I will give this 3/10

Kdrama Jan 26 2025 9:30 am Want to make comment before completing the Episode 15. I don’t understand the writer to make expose song seo in which can flawlessly escape lady ok accusation since no evidence that she is the run away slave.

Nimi Jan 22 2025 2:25 am The romantic scenes are shortttttt But I like it The scene where they kissed in episode 14 turned me on as well…damn?? I feel like only her real husband can save them now But only God knows if the idiot would

1st episode Jan 15 2025 8:41 am The first scene in episode one seems Lady Ok has returned to Hanyang and will be tried. She was stoned. The the back story has started. Based on the title, the Tale means she died?! My heart is really sad if this will be the ending. She has just lived her life in service and hoping for a happy marriage with the true love, the storyteller.

Nimi Jan 13 2025 12:21 pm So I finally got my kiss…yayyyyy I like this movie a lot but I’m scared of the woes to come. Lâdÿ ok has been winning since and am scared her unhappiness is near. Tears huh huh

Nimi Jan 12 2025 3:31 pm Please tell me why there is no kiss at the end of episode 11 also,why is the writer hurting me? I can feel the intense chemistry and the love only to be ended with a hug or just stares. It’s starting to annoy me.

Nimi Jan 07 2025 12:29 pm I was expecting a kiss at the ending of episode 10 I was disappointed!! I expected him to pull her in when she called him her husband. Why is the writer like that? Why can’t we get a kiss From those cute couple yet? I want a kisssas

Little Rice ? Jan 05 2025 1:25 am I'm never understand people craze over kdrama standard of love story, let alone I enjoy watching kdrama (especially sageuk). But Cheon Seung-Hwi & Lee Jang-Hyeon (My Dearest) really got me hooked & fallin. The length they willing to for their woman is- ahhh ??, not to mention the loyalty ??.

Yeoiju Jan 03 2025 7:42 pm Great drama, so many twists in a episode I think the FL is atoning for what she did in the Glory here ???

Nimi Dec 30 2024 6:56 am This would be one of my best drama this year. Love itttttt

Ok lady Dec 29 2024 1:32 pm My guess is story teller will step in to prevent Lady Ok becoming a widow.

April Dec 28 2024 12:35 pm Chu Young Woo! I'm now a fan! Currently watching ep 5. He is so good.

Candi Dec 28 2024 7:14 am .. I am not sure who hates whom but despite the high ratings of this drama.. there have been several broadcasting delays.. changes to the lineup.. its like someone wants this drama to fail.. its sad because I was enjoying it but it never seems to be a new episode..

Fizzy Dec 23 2024 4:42 pm This drama is so good. Was not expecting the plot twist at all. I hope the young master doesn't die, fingers crossed. That ended on a suspense thrilling note. Lady Ok has suffered so many misfortunes, I hope she smiles again and doesn't lose another loved one.

Nomi Dec 22 2024 8:29 am This is so so good…but expecting us to wait after different postponement is ridiculous

Kunkun Dec 21 2024 10:44 am really like this drama, the plot is not easy to guess

Belle Dec 18 2024 3:56 am I love this drama so much but every week they just release 1 episode got me bored and sick of waiting

Gery Dec 17 2024 8:15 am i liked this from the start but got bored for waiting

Nimi Dec 16 2024 8:12 am This drama is so goood but they’ll spoil it with the postponement every week

Aileen Pp Dec 16 2024 4:18 am This is soo good!! Are the 2 guys twin???

Kim Dec 15 2024 7:27 pm I gave this drama a chance although I am not into the plot nor know anything about the ML. It was my first time watching him, even at that as a lead, and I mostly tried to watch this because of Lim Ji-Yeon. So I watched episode 1 and got intrigued because of how they started the drama, and I envision that character development and improvements will come as the episode goes on. I was right, just episode 2 and it was a done deal for me. I will continue this and already added it to my weekly drama binge. I love following a FL's character and situation changes at just the right timing, the writer did well in writing her character and LJY is doing well in portraying her character.

Cheese Dec 15 2024 9:42 am Is it possible to upload 2 episodes every weekends? We cant wait for the next episodes. Please upload earlyyyyyyy ??????

Chaerin Dec 14 2024 8:15 am I'm loving the storyline so far!!! I'm so invested already!!

Jezak Dec 11 2024 11:02 am I'm loving this drama so far. The pace is good, all the actors and actresses are great, and the little comedy is enjoyable. I also like that even though it's love at first sight, the ML is not cringey or overwhelming to the FL and that he just wants to be there to help her. Each episode up to 3 is filled with angst but it is balanced out well with thrill, excitement, and just a hint of romance (for now). I also love that the FL is a strong FL character and isn't a damsel in distress. I cannot wait for the next few episodes because I'm very curious about Song Seo-In / Cheon Seung-Hwi and Sung Yoon-Gyum and how their characters will play out.

Thalia Dec 10 2024 2:05 pm Saturday come faster pleaseee. I need eps 4 right noww :(

bownak Dec 09 2024 8:58 am i think sung yoon gyum will die and sung hwi will replace him.

lala Dec 08 2024 5:16 am i hope this will end happily :(

Lovely cast Dec 05 2024 4:04 am Hey, they kept killing off the characters we like.

Okay Dec 04 2024 2:55 pm Why does this remind me so much of Mr. Queen?

Lili Dec 04 2024 12:35 pm Oh how much I missed this type of historical dramas ??

Angie Dec 03 2024 10:13 pm In this episode 2, Gu Deok-i assumes the identity of Ok Tae-young to hide her true self and takes refuge in an annex. To avenge Tae-young's death, she disguises herself and helps capture bandits. Lady Han grows fond of Gu Deok-i’s intelligence. Meanwhile, Seo In, now living as storyteller Cheon Seung-hwi, unexpectedly reunites with Gu Deok-i. The episode builds tension as the two meet under new identities, leaving viewers wondering if they will recognize each other.

bownak Dec 02 2024 11:58 pm good start can't wait for next episode.

moon&sun Dec 02 2024 12:31 pm The Double but korean version

Gb Dec 02 2024 9:22 am So choo yeong woo here having twin brother. They probably separated when they were young. Sung yoon gyum and sung do gyum are brother too since they have the same family name. This drama seems good it starts with interesting story.

Imel Dec 02 2024 3:55 am Great drama

Lulu Dec 01 2024 5:45 pm Great start. Everything was pretty well done, I've gone through all the emotions, from laughter to tears, from hope to anger. It's not a new subject but the writer and the Director did a good job. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

Ell Nov 17 2024 4:50 pm Which kind of cast is this i will just watch because of lim ji yeon

Bunshinsab Aug 29 2024 9:32 am Seated for mother Lim Jiyeon! Why is it so long? Is it not in 2024?

ysobelle Jun 11 2024 12:17 am They announced that Kim Jae-won and Yeonwoo will act in this drama too. So exciting.

Sam Dec 06 2023 5:15 am Interesting plot already. I haven’t watch any Choo young woo dramas yet but I trust anything with Jiyeon in it. I hope the writers do well.

king julien Dec 06 2023 5:12 am interesting..
