Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Lee Heon (Kim Young-Dae) is the king of Joseon. 7 years ago, when he was a crown prince, his beloved wife died. To this day, he has not been able to get over her death. For the past 7 years, the royal family and government members have tried to get King Lee Heon remarried without success. The nation has also implemented a geumhonryung edict, which is a ban on all single women marrying during this time when the king has not married. People are furious over the marriage ban. One day, King Lee Heon hears of a woman named Ye So-Rang (Park Ju-Hyun), who claims the spirit of the king's late wife exists within the royal palace.

Meanwhile, Ye So-Rang is a swindler and claims to interpret martial harmony signs. She is arrested and jailed where Officer Lee Shin-Won (Kim Woo-Seok) works. To get out of her predicament, she pretends to be possessed by a spirit in front of Lee Shin-Won. During her ruse, she mentions that the spirit of King Lee Heon's late wife exists within the royal palace. She is then brought in front of the king and he asks her if she can really see his late wife's spirit. To survive, Ye So-Rang acts like her body is possessed by the king's late wife. Ye So-Rang's lies get bigger and more audacious.

Comments

Gugu Mon Apr 26 2026 1:37 pm Very mixed. Some bits are nice. Main problem: The whole thing is designed as a drama-comedy crossover, and that almost never really works. A number of scenes are overly silly, or parody without intention. Overall, the series is saved from a total stall by female lead Park Ju-Hyun, who somehow balances drama and comedy by seamlessly shifting from one to the other even in the same scene. Quite a feat, and the series is worth watching, if at all, for this actress' remarkable prowess. Really a good actress. But summarizing, her talent is quite a bit wasted in view of the non-functioning premise of the narrative.

JLL Aug 06 2025 4:39 pm This could have been a great drama if the leads had some chemistry. FL acting was cringy at time. Would have been better if they cast a better actress for the FL role.

LGiam2011 Jun 06 2025 9:53 am @nanette: yes you are right, the girl is leeheon and sorang's child.. the boy is shinwon and hwayoon's child hehe.

Zed Apr 05 2025 3:52 pm Who am I? At this point I know as much as you, reader. I've always fallen short in articulation, however, I finished all 12 episodes in its goofiness and wrapping of fluffiness. It is strange, even to myself, that, after long years of lurking in the digital sphere, only occassionally letting those outbursts of a devotee, I have finally succumbed to being a wiki-warrior. (Please don't ban me).

My humble request to not be banned is for the obvious SPOILERS I spew. I do not wish for anyone to be dissuaded from watching since it is exactly what you might expect from a show like this. Brain rot, but cutesy!

My man Shin-won gets what he deserved. Hwa-yoon arrived as a deus-ex-m but gotta say love the girl's spunk. What she says - louder for the peole in the back - it is not the victim's fault! The wait seemed worthwhile (kinda forced but hey what can we do)... and I'm just happy my man Shin-won got the kind of girl he wants. Also, and I read about this somewhere, my man Shin-won with hair down looked as good as the other viewers stated! Gotta love a hottie with long hair! On the topic of hotties ... they didn't forget them even at the end, although fat lot of good they did for the story but I love this soft launching. I am watching this stuff for this exact reason! Gimme this service!

Is it possible to get the 'two hotties poster' drawn by Master Jung?

Zed Apr 05 2025 3:13 am Before I started watching the drama it felt the story would go in a direction and have FL end up with who appears to be the SML. Honestly, I was disappointed. I truly enjoy watching Kim Yong-dae, especially since I recently watched his show with Shin Min-a. But I digress. Anyways, once I started watching the show, I found myself rooting for Shin-won. Poor bloke has kept his bride-to-be in his heart (couldn't have done much thanks to the marriage ban); nonetheless he kept those emotions and managed to hone in on So-rang. Especially the first few episodes, their proximity and interaction felt very couple charged.

Yes, I know love is unpredictable and this is a fictional show but So-rang's audacity around the king and her deliberation of emotions towards the King seemed fallacious, even within the scope of this dramaverse. Like, is she truly in a position to demand the King's affection? All dandy that the King felt the same - and on his part it still made a bit of sense as he is in a position to demand certain things. Although the 7 year non-compliance in his role as the King should have been forced to abdicate! But I should not get too political about that fictional world. So far my poor man Chun-Sseok died from assassin's attach and the innocent gisaeng Cha Nyun, lookalike of the late crown princess has been murdered. This show better get them justice! Actually, I hope I didn't miss any justice as I'm somewhere in episode 8 after skipping bits, cause the villains are just too boring and feel like a waste time of time - particularly with the vibe of the show. I'm here for comedy not evil, pompous excuses of humans!

Getting back to dear Shin-won. He feels more dreamy than I'd have ever guessed and going against the King was strangely hot. Actually, both men seemed oddly alluring. Kim Woo-seok did a great job of portraying the anguish of love rivalry and unrequited love. Korean actors always do such a great job! His character upheld more overall seriousness and I'm feeling that he did really well.

I still have 1/3 of the show to go and although I know how it ends (spoil me always)... I find my heart fluttering off to like a butterfly to the garden of Shin-won.

Jillibean Jan 08 2025 12:43 pm After the first two episodes being interesting and funny the rest of it turned me off because of the immorality expressed in the script. If you're a moral person skip this bomb.

Rin Sep 09 2024 1:30 pm Can somebody tell me the title of bgm at the last episode @ 57:00 where So rangs old man(Gwaeyi) and chief secretary crossed path where it seems like there's romantic connection is going to happen?

BMR39 Feb 08 2024 1:17 pm Just watched again the final episode of The Forbidden Marriage. It is such a great and funny parody of a real sageuk. I could not stop smiling and laughing. Congrats to all! From the director to the most junior guy on the set. Bravo ! And thank you: i feel great.

BMR39 Feb 08 2024 11:59 am The Forbidden Marriage (금혼령) is the first sageuk (사극) drama and comedy I have ever watched. It does not pretend to be what it is not, but its 12 episodes are always very well done. The sexy dialogues are funny and the acting is great.

    The biggest surprise was Park Ju-Hyeon (박 주현). I did not know her before. She radiates a powerful energy, joy and generosity that will make you smile no matter how low you feel.  She carries the entire drama with ease and her prize as excellent actress of 2022 is richly deserved.
    If you feel low and in the blues these days, go and watch The Forbidden Marriage, Park Ju-Hyeon (박 주현) and her acting partners !  She will cheer you up ! 
  The timing of The Forbidden Marriage could not be better given the lowest birth rate in Korean history in 2023....

Co Jan 28 2024 2:36 pm It's okay.really nice. Looking like they copied (The Kings Affection) some of the kings roles looks similar to that of the kings affection 2021. But the story line is good though.

Park Min Jan 01 2024 5:27 pm The Forbidden Scam. A girl pretending to be the Crown Princess's ghost, a spirited leading lady, and a minor hiccup in the grand scheme of historical tales—the ban on love. It sold itself as this wild, carefree series, promising easy laughs and a blissful escape. However, the writers tripped hard trying to weave in melodramatic and political plots because the original concept was unsustainable for more than a couple of episodes. They birthed these laughable plots and pitiful antagonists in the process. The female lead, originally devious and witty, took this nosedive into becoming this sad, serious persona spouting profound but empty and hypocritical lines. It was hard to believe or feel anything she said or did after this drastic change in character. Again, forcing a systematic change across the board after a couple of episodes. At the end of the day, this is just another poor cosplay show.

Velle Nov 25 2023 7:27 pm all episodes were exciting and fun. I like the second lead male but I can't resist the charm of the king. All casts were perfect for their role. It's one of the best kdrama for me. The ending was perfect. Must watch!

Lin Sep 26 2023 2:59 am Who's said "there's no 2nd lead syndrome here" ? I'm here !!!

rona Jul 13 2023 10:40 am so sweet romantic and fun....hoping that joo soo min and Kim woo seok will have a series also

a must watch!! Jun 10 2023 8:36 am easily became one of my faves??❤️‍?❤️‍? don’t miss out any longer, like I did huhu it’s nicely done & it is so rare for a kdrama to have a perfect ending but this drama nailed it!!! I’ll terribly miss the cast, they all did well in bringing the characters to life? the Forbidden Marriage team, thank you?❤️‍?

Ya Mar 07 2023 7:29 am Poor writing. It was crass and vulgar from the beginning through especially at the end!

........................ Feb 05 2023 8:02 am I'm late jumping into the train hype but since park juhyun and kim wooseok are here I want to watch this..

and fall in love with minju's beauty.. she really fits the queen character

long time not seeing a comedic sageuk drama like this since mr queen

Yol A Feb 01 2023 10:22 am Such a great drama.. Handsome king & bodyguard.. Good luck everyone.. Hope there will be season 2 hehehe

jan Jan 29 2023 7:00 am there's no 2nd lead syndrome here because you will certainly be inlove with the king so hondsome and charismatic. And the chemistry between the FL and ML is so lit i don't want it to end the story is so refreshing and unique although there is some cliche but it will certainly make your heart flutter... I Lobe Park Ju Hyun and Kim Yeong Dae.

Nizar Sentosa Jan 27 2023 8:32 pm such a lovely delightful korean drama with a great actors and actresses! i highly recommend this drama to everyone who loves rom-com. but i don’t know why i don’t get second male lead syndrome like everyone else tho because i fell in love at first sight with the king xx

Mae Jan 25 2023 10:18 pm Did it really ended in episode 12....? I mean it cannot be!

KST Jan 25 2023 5:46 am I just finished watching this series. Its really amazing. The story was simple but nice. I really love to the funny mode of this series. Kim young dae and Park ju hyun had a great chemistry. Park ju hyun's acting was really amazing. Kim young dae looked so cool as the king. I really recommend this story to all korean drama lovers specially who like to watch rom coms. Hope you too enjoy watching this drama. Saranghae!!!

Dan Jan 25 2023 2:28 am The chemistry was bland the story didn't make sense kept of skipping had a lot of plot holes started well but lost its touch what a waste of good actors

David Jan 24 2023 12:52 am I really enjoyed this one. The actors fit perfectly for each role. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how the ending 2 episodes felt rushed. It almost feels like there should have been 16 episodes but they cut the series with 4 episodes. The plot was very good regardless and I suggest giving it a watch

Renwa Jan 23 2023 11:31 am Well I can’t stay out of the fray of reviews on this one. I just adored it! K Drama continues to grow showing its courage for innovation when a new fresh voice as Chun Zi-Hye can take the stage and show her stuff without apology. What to make of Forbidden Marriage? First off, follow rule #one as a viewer and suspend all your fixed beliefs and enter the world the artists have created without preconceived notions to categorize & criticise. Rule # two, allow some fresh air into our being. I think I watched an adult fairy tale with serious embedded elements presented in a fresh innovative witty hilarious sometimes naughty way. The chosen cast of actors is rock solid when it come to their acting chops…yes the entire cast. The comedic aspects of a performance they say is not for amateurs and this director, writer, actors don’t let up for a second in their quest to break new ground. The energy brought to this production keeps bubbling throughout and until the end. They all love us the viewers and keep reaching out to us in most intimate ways to include us in the jokes, absurd unbelievable characterizations and all ways creative to saying…stay with us for the ride as we create something new & fun. Are there spots where the performances or script can be tightened up? Probably. But these true professionals spend their lives always trying to improve & learn. So let’s celebrate the new gifts K Drama keeps giving us. Finally, I think we need a new definition for the usual best couples award during annual awards …in this case Park Ju Hyun, Kim Young Dae, and Kim Woo-Seok were the cutest bestest most talented “couple” we fell in love with. Thanks for putting up with, I guess, this lecture. And yes, do enjoy Forbidden Marriage.

Wenyeol Jan 22 2023 12:23 pm Jo Soo Min is here with a minor role. I ship her with Young Dae!!! Aaaaahhh but the ML and FL also has great chemistry

cynthia wang Jan 22 2023 3:36 am OK overall I was really impressed with Kim Wooseok acting! He can play Lee Shinwon character very well and how he shines throughout this drama. I believe he will become a big actor in the future, highly anticipating him as main lead in his next drama!

Jilli Jan 22 2023 12:54 am This is definitely a drama where the actors were better than the material they were given to work with. I really think it's because it's her first screenplay and she doesn't have the experience like, for instance, the Hong Sisters have, to create a masterpiece. I knew it was going to be a pat and predictable ending and overall this series was a disappointment. The first episode was hilarious but then the writer made the mistake of making it too morose and depressing. Her characters weren't admirable except for the second male lead character. The King was a space cadet. Making his whole country unable to get married for seven long years. Dumb plot premise.

Saranghae Jan 22 2023 12:23 am If you want happy kdrma y'all should watch this. 10/10. I laughed so hard while watching this kdrama. Lets Love Everyday!!!

Yana Jan 21 2023 4:01 pm I knew they was going to pull that 21st century "love is love" crap at the end of the last episode. The writing was on the wall!

Mediocre drama!

soranghae Jan 21 2023 7:55 am I find out this drama is really exciting. Do the marathon to finish this drama. And thankyou, 12 episode is quote good choice. Who said the fml and ml have no chemistry? Beg your pardon? Because i see both of them are cute. And for those who said, it is a predictable ending, then why? As i getting older, i choose drama with no stress, a light drama. I watching drama for fun not for overused my brain to guess how’s the ending.

Well, both yongdae and juhyun are doing great! Woo sik too, all the characters. Enjoying this drama sooo much! Thank you for this beautiful drama✨

V Jan 20 2023 10:55 pm The only reason that this drama is watchable is because of how good the acting is. Unfortunately even though the actors are doing their very best, they can't save the drama as the writing is awful. I wouldn't suggest watching it but if you don't mind spending 12 hours of your time for a mediocre drama then go for it.

suyeon Jan 19 2023 4:43 am I do really love Kim Wooseok acting here!!! He portraying his character really well~ hope he can be the main lead in next drama

cynthia wang Jan 18 2023 6:06 am it's harrrrdddd to chose because I ship So rang with both Lee heon & Shin woo ;-;

seina Jan 17 2023 9:00 pm well the story is fun and make me laugh.. but the main reason I watch this just bus of 1ML & 2ML hahaha Young-Dae & Woo-Seok really so handsome and cute!!!

A Loy Jan 16 2023 2:06 am Hope the ending will be happy for both King and the bodyguard.....

The story is light, funny, also sometimes romantic..

The king is handsome hahaha... So rang is energetic and fun... The bodyguard also handsome and more calm

Good luck everyone !!!

baby Jan 16 2023 1:04 am im a fan of koreans movie and series..i dont have any idol i just want to watch a good movie with happy ending,and the time i watch this i feel curious bcz the LM was handsome and the FL was good too funny and energitic..and anyway this love story is all about the broken heart of the ML thats why he forbid the marraige ,hope so rang can take care of the heart of the king and fight till end,for you so rang ah dont break the king s heart or he will banned the maraige forever..hahahha dont you know that the 2nd time would hurt him more than the first.and about SML that his fate hope he can meet someone who can love him dearly.

Jilli Jan 15 2023 8:13 am I looked up the writer of this story, it's a young female who also created the webtoon on which it was based. Her name is Chun Zi Hye and she has no other stories or screenplays to her credit. No wonder why the writing here has been disappointing to me, so lackluster and unrealistic. She lacks the writing chops to really do something outstanding and different with a K-drama. She's just going with a pat ending. The acting has been good, it's the writing that's been flaccid and disappointing. The first episode was so strong and cool but in truth it has disintegrated since then, making the strong female lead look weak and helpless and vulnerable. I much prefer when she looked and acted stronger and wiser.

Tasha Jan 15 2023 4:42 am it’s so sad that this delightful drama has only 12 episodes:((((( some people said that something about their characters are off but for me that’s the realest thing in this drama because when you read the webtoon you started to imagine every stuff and that’s not even real but when it comes to the drama it delivered things to be more real and not based on your imagination. so everyone in this drama is doing a great job its ending next week so sad tho:((

Yol A Jan 14 2023 6:22 pm It's good... Will stand until the last Eps.. Actors and actress are so good, working hard.. Esp the main leads.. good job everyone

Jen Jan 14 2023 1:30 pm Acting and story are so weird. ML FL have no chemistry at all. Personally don’t like FL and supporting characters’ acting.

Agnes Jan 14 2023 10:51 am Great main lead their chemistry is really good and theyr never once looks awkward to each other, really good casting for everyone here. I rarely watch this kind of romcom but i really love this drama here its really good because the comedy scene never felt strange whenever it popped up. Juhyun is a great actress shes again show her good skills to build great chemistry with every cast on her drama/movie, she fit in everykind of genre ?? her social skills is in another level!!! Im rooting for everyone and i hope we get great ending for every character?

Rainbow Jan 14 2023 3:53 am The love story between and the king and So-Rang is just too weird for me... So-Rang seems to have bigger built than the king. Park Ju-Hyun did a great job by portraying lost with no identity look character. She looks messy most of the time, and while only in palace she looks a bit tidier. When Kim Young-Dae and Kim Min-Ju walked together in the earlier episode, they looks so lovely and dreamy. Secretly, I wish they could work together next time.

Gingerbread Jan 12 2023 5:27 pm Omg at the beginning I'm sorry but he looked like seungho the painter of the night .. it's a smut webtoon but oh gosh that reddish make up on his eyes and the Joseph style. Jezus lmao . But the series itself is very good. It's the same maker of me queen so i knew it was gonna be funny as hell. Overall good drama . Kim young dae ~

Fatimah Jan 09 2023 3:46 pm No min woo wasn't expecting that appreance but he is sòoooòooo handsome how I wish he is the king

Gimbiya Jan 08 2023 5:23 pm People please did they change the writer and director for episode 7&8 something feels off! No something was differently missing. My least favorite episode honestly it'll take a miracle to get me to watch the rest of the drama or am I being too harsh??? I I miss the kdrama red sleeves ?it had everything I've always wanted in a historical kdrama where the king falls for the court lady he can't have

Zhee Jan 08 2023 8:57 am I really love the way things are going. Bal rang tan is really a handsome guy but Kim young dae will forever be on my mind. I also feel bad for lee shin won though.

Jilli Jan 08 2023 12:47 am Hopefully they extend this fun and delightful drama to 16 episodes from 12. 12 is too short to get every plot detail covered properly. Love the actress the most, don't really care who she ends up with, just want her to be happy and safe by the end, and for that King to finally allow everyone to get married. Happy Citizens = Happy Kingdom. Seven years is ridiculously long a wait for the common folk.

Ory Jan 07 2023 6:11 am No Min Woo cameo as Ban Ran Tan also his brother No Jeong-Hun as Ban Ran Tan's brother (a man who always stand beside him) ?

jennezer Jan 07 2023 1:39 am No Min Woo cameo as Ban Ran Tan ~ really loving this drama

Errica Lim Jan 06 2023 11:00 pm SPOILER ALERT! Another visual to behold, who is this village chief Ban Ran Tan? Seems like a 3rd knight in shining armour? Finally, ep 7 is in. Cant wait for the next feel good episodes!

Rose Jan 04 2023 7:41 pm If you want a good laugh, watch this drama. You wont get bored at all. Love the FL, and the two MLs. I shipped both of them, but I side with the King more. I am still at episode 4. I will dread having to wait each episode to air. Its been a while since I watch a funny and good Korean drama.

Yol A Jan 04 2023 12:08 pm Wow another great saeguk... Really entertain. I love the So Rang when she rolled in Detective Zombie.. good acting. good luck for you

Realin Jan 02 2023 4:48 pm I enjoyed watching the 6 episodes. Acting and directing so far is good. I'm glad that I didn't get bored all along. I think I will finish watching this series.

mae Dec 30 2022 6:48 am Why is it only 12 episodes? So far, I'm loving the romance comedy and the chemistry of the leads!! They look so natural! I hope it's at least 16 episodes! I'm sad

Blooms Dec 28 2022 3:13 am Jo Soo Min will come for Kim Woo Seok hehehe

Hanlie Murphy Dec 27 2022 10:34 pm Love this drama hope she end up with the king feel sorry for the kings bodyguard as she was supposed to marry him

Ni Dec 27 2022 12:13 am This drama is unexpectedly so good! Kim young dae doesn't give that "king vibe" but he's doing a fairly good job here. I have always loved park ju hyun's bubbly character and it's good to see her back on this drama. Anyways this drama has an interesting plot. So bad it only has 12 episodes

Nabi??? Dec 26 2022 5:18 pm I wonder why this show has a LR like why!?? It really deserves a hype and it’s definitely interesting. Again I like the SML I want her to end up with the second ML?

BallerG Dec 24 2022 7:29 pm I feel bad for Lee Shin Won? I want him to have So Rang instead

sf Dec 24 2022 8:38 am She has to choose between two guys. Who will be the winner?

Park joohyun legend Dec 24 2022 4:40 am I've been watching a lot of park joohyun's work lately and she is a versatile actress...

Noonim Dec 23 2022 9:54 am Hilarious drama! Love all characters! Must watch!

Jeni Dec 23 2022 3:30 am Guys, I've fallen in love with this drama and i recommend this to reach and every Korean drama fan. There is a love triangle, but it's not as frustrating because you will love them both and will cheer them both. Please watch this. Kim Young-Dae is super handsome as a King and super cute in all light-hearted scenes. Do not miss this.

Fan from Philippines Dec 22 2022 8:38 pm I saw clips of this in Tiktok so i started watching yesterday. I esp like KYD facial expressions,fine acting. Cant wait to watch future episodes...

laraazhari Dec 22 2022 10:34 am so does Princess really alive or not? omo

jr jr Dec 19 2022 3:01 am watching this for Giriboy , saw he's in the line up, and I just remembered in "my manager" episode it's his dream to be in a drama and he was still learning that time, and he's here now!!! so proud of you Giriboy .

mia lalaland Dec 18 2022 11:37 pm funny and fresh, I like it

Ems Dec 18 2022 8:22 pm Love Young-dae. Light and refreshing drama, especially for a period piece. So far these 4 episodes have made me laugh and enjoying it.

Loren Dec 18 2022 8:10 am This si amazing i love you all ????

Golden Dec 18 2022 7:45 am Giriboy acting?? Maybe got some mistake.. But this drama is very refreshing.. Love all the 3 main characters

lulupancika Dec 18 2022 1:49 am Second lead syndrome but still love the first lead ottoke??

Btw this drama is really recommended! ♥️ After long time, with all heavy drama before, finally kdrama released this kind of drama which I can enjoy the whole plot! ♥️

Shyboy Dec 17 2022 9:55 pm ..the female lead is awesome . & need more micro facial expression for male lead. Overall fun and relaxing.

rara Dec 17 2022 9:33 pm It was hard not to smile and laughing out loud in episode 4, I was soo funny especially the books part ?

Winter gunj Dec 17 2022 6:54 pm Really enjoying this one! Haven’t been able to find light funny kdrama for a long time and this one is the perfect one. Kinda similar to Mr.Queen as its light and funny with gunny female lead . Love jt so far.

Huali Dec 17 2022 2:03 pm Love it

Your 112! Dec 17 2022 1:09 pm The dialogue is very fresh, the story of this drama is very fun. I laughed and enjoyed the comedy scenes that were presented, as well as the simple romantic scenes. This is because the story is well packaged and the extraordinary chemistry of the cast. Even though I've seen the cast in dramas before, I really like them in this drama.

Park Ju-Hyun and Kim Young-Dae with changing character expressions, and Kim Woo-Seok who completes their characters.

Very good acting, wish them more success after the good effort they showed in this drama.

Once again, thank you to the scriptwriter, director, and team on this drama for choosing the right cast for the character.

I can't wait for the next episode and other fun works ♡♡♡

junejia Dec 17 2022 11:32 am It's freaking awesome drama and funny. If you're done watching heavy kdrama or a tragic one. Believe me this Kdrama is very light and refreshing. Make me laugh rolled over my bed with unexpected humor. They'll good actors. The plot was also amazing and I hope a lot of viewers notice this kdrama cause it's worth watching.

Ar Dec 17 2022 6:11 am Recommended!

Only first episode bit slow, then episode 2-3 is awesome!

Kim YD doing great here. Funny, handsome and intimateeeeee. His eyes!! Actually im not his fan, even not watching his previous drama but this one must watch❤️❤️❤️❤️

AH Dec 17 2022 6:08 am This drama is really good.. I like how the actor and the actresses play they're role.. I am enjoying it..

Sans Dec 17 2022 4:45 am This drama has the cliche plot (from what I assuming with 3 ep out) but it’s entertaining and really funny. If you want some good laugh, this drama is a must. Personally love the cast so there will be biases on my view on their performance but for me, so far it’s an enjoyable , light hearted drama. Literally can’t wait for the next episode!!

sy_faa Dec 17 2022 12:57 am I think kim young dae did great in this drama..i personally think nothing wrong with him.. i love this drama so far.. it's really enjoyable

Luv Romance Dec 16 2022 11:24 pm Not sure why these ratings are low because this drama is moving and funny. It draws you right after the first episode and the actors are doing an outstanding job!!!!!

nurul Dec 15 2022 7:32 pm for those who want a break from heavy kdramas, those who like to watch a lightweight plot, comedic one, I suggest you to try this one. don’t expect it to be very very good like your fav kdramas, but it sufficient for those who just wanna sit back and relax, watching and laughing for the scenes, got some sad moment too, at the end of the day before you sleep or anytime. lol. I personally love this and looking forward to next episodes.

anna Dec 15 2022 12:20 pm i dont know … park ju hyun is amazing but kim young dae on the other hand … he doesn’t have that aura for saeguk dramas. He has the face of someone who knows what an Iphone is. I think he’s better off with other roles that arent in historical dramas.

His only redeeming quality is that he looks like Kang Dong Won …

anana Dec 15 2022 11:47 am i dont know, park juhyun is always amazing. I tried to keep watching for her but i really dont think kyd fits this role since he looks like someone who knows what an Iphone is. He lacks the saeguk aura to me.

The only thing good about him is that he looks somewhat like Kang Dong Won.

Inmo Dec 15 2022 10:59 am Don't be discouraged by the negative comments. Of course, everyone has different taste but anyone interested in this should also enjoy rom-com, right? Tbh I didn't expect much but this drama surprised me. First episode was made brilliantly with full of captivating elements. The total contrast of the beginning and ending is fascjnating. First scene seems ridiculous and funny that it gives you the vibe this barely has serious plot but the ending was magical and heartwrenching. Male lead is very suited with his role as a depressed young king. But the female lead portrayal is a bit unrealistic - she looks too pretty & well kept for a vagrant, even with the ragged clothes. It makes her whole appearance looks weird. But that's all, no complaints about her acting skills (loved her in Love All Play & A Piece of Your Mind). TLDR; Nice cinematography, good directing & fairly intriguing story. Hope the following episodes has the same quality.

RONALD PARK Dec 15 2022 4:00 am Quite like this series...very entertaining and enjoyable. Usual villains...but good will prevail....thumbs up

Nabi??? Dec 14 2022 5:43 pm I’m loving this movie. I’m definitely going to be waiting for every episode ??

Namj Dec 14 2022 12:15 am Im weird why rating so low? Honestly kyd drama before this is so boring so even on first episode i drop.

BUTTT

this one is okay! Seriously recommend to add on your list watching drama. Try watch till end of episode 2, the latest one, i think for me im enjoy this drama so i will watch till the end!!!!!.

Im not person who will watch the drama if it's still make me boring but this drama from episode 2, it got me hook up! Im honestt!! I not kyd fan, and i even dont recognize the female lead, but no worries this drama already fun to me, i will know the three leads and watch till the end. I hope its happy ending ya!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Typical007 Dec 13 2022 5:36 pm IKR.. I think he is not ready for a main lead role

.... Dec 13 2022 4:59 am kim youngdae.. let's' be honest who is his sponsor?? his acting is literally song kang level..

poor my girl park joohyun will carry this drama on her back

kai Dec 11 2022 7:38 pm Was anticipating this so much but the 1st episode was so boring... I understand they are setting the plot but it was still 0 interesting scenes..

Da-Knee Dec 11 2022 2:15 am Daebak! the first 2 Episodes got me hook up. Gonna put this up in my watchlist. And yes in every historical drama there's really one evil court minister that will go around the plot and funny that minister Jo Sung-Gyun is a funny character in Cheer-Up but here he is an evil minister (his facial expression is kinda off for an antagonist- I find his facial expression funny tho I cannot feel an evil vibes from him).

I love the chemistry between the King and So-rang but...... I'm rooting for Shin-won if he won't be able to end up with FL well it's okay because I'm here lol

Anyways, Looking forward for the succeeding episodes

mye. Dec 10 2022 9:02 pm Idc what anyone says, this drama is literally already one of my favs. Shin won also has my whole heart omd

daive Dec 08 2022 7:44 am I didn’t even have to watch the previews just reading it was enough for me to know my heart and soul is purer into this.

P7 Nov 19 2022 12:55 pm Read plot synopsis..similiar with moon embrace the sun

mery Nov 18 2022 2:09 pm Oh yeess ! I've read the webtoon im so excited to watch it in a serie !!

Cristina Belyeu Nov 15 2022 1:34 pm I am very overwhelmed with the story plot to this whole show. It takes my heart captive with suspense and I didn’t even have to watch the previews just reading it was enough for me to know my heart and soul is purer into this. Not to sure I would truly want to watch something so near and dear to my very own heart strings in a very different culture I suppose type of way. Kind of like Little Women

Tam Sep 08 2022 7:56 pm Juhyun i can't wait
