Don't be mistaken by the title thinking it is a period drama with royalty or basically just royalty. it's not. it's actually more of a chaebol drama where it's about a reallly rich family who is very powerful. thus in that sense, they're known as royal family.
it's not often that i enjoy these types of dramas as they have a lot of backstabbing, misunderstandings, tragedy, betrayal, basically mainly negative stuff.
and yes this drama had its share of those as well. it made me wish that our hero knew what was going on and hope that he'd still support the heroine and all. i hoped so much for that part to be over that i at times, forwarded some scenes just to get the angst over with lol.
it was that nerve wrecking. hehe the main draw for me was of course our hero, han ji hoon(ji sung) who played a prosecutor fabulously. made me drool. you guys might recognise him from the drama swallow the sun.
despite all the angst and drama going on, i enjoyed this show. something about it kept me going and not stopping halfway through. although a part of me wished there was a more confirmed ending but with open endings, you can always dream your own happy ending hehe and that's what i'm doing. i just wished i could see it. anyway this drama is fully up on many sites of course, but i watched them mainly on epdrama and dramacrazy, enjoy
