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

this movie stars kim tae hee(iris) as sohwa/yonhwa and jung woo sung(athena,a moment to remember) as yi gwak. this is such a romantic (historical at the same time) action movie, at the end my heart shattered againnnn at the open ending. sigh yigwak was so romantic, never forgetting his love. sighhhh i can only sigh and do nothing else, wishing it was happier.
the action was fabulous, all the fights made me drool, yes even the demons lol it was so cool hehehe i loved the plot. we don't see this type of plot much nowadays, such a simple and pure love, with so much action. he just protected her, even though she had already lost her memories, and she fell in love all over again.

this is one of the perfect food for me. it has the right amount of ingredients-action, romance, sadness and some slight touches on humor. sigh i definitely enjoyed watching this and i think, this role suited lee min ho perfectly. but maybe i'm biased cos i like cool heroes who can fight and all. hehehe there were some really sad parts too, parts that made me blink my eyes more often than not. sigh as for the ending, i had hoped to see a little more, it kinda felt open. with the romance, with his dad among other things.
but overall, this is a good watch which i definitely recommend for action and romance fans. not only that, it also has humor, so much revenge and twists. it's all complete and online. i watched it on epdrama. enjoy!!!

if you're not into fantasy, supernatural and romance, i suggest you skip this. i, on the other hand, was totally satisfied with what they were able to do in this movie. it was short but fulfilling...spoilers ahead...
i just wish that it was a happier ending instead of tragic. i can't belive song seung heon talked in japanese. he was good. all in all, it's a good movie to pass time with if you have nothing better to do. enjoy it on mysoju.
