This is what happens when you value individuals above the collective.

                 It’s called love, you son of a bitch. It’s why Dev turned.

You told me that instead of regretting, it’s better to try, even if you ruin everything.

Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung

Nobody died, there wasn’t a ridiculous “return of the true King” plot, the two princes still liked each other in the end, and and the main couple got to stay together! I also loved how, instead of glorifying the monarchy and the brutality of the past; the show emphasized the importance of modernization, social equality, education, truth and building a better future by learning from the mistakes of the past.

I was glad to see Yi Jin become King instead of Yi Rim. (Both princes are good people, but Yi Jin actually knows how to rule and is willing to put the happiness of the people of his country before his own. Rim didn’t even want to be royalty, he just wanted to live a life where he can be free with Hae Ryung. If he became King he would’ve traded one lonely life for another.)
