"This is the heartbreaking story of a Korean Prince who could never get the love of his father. You can see how the absence of love and kindness affects people, those in the King's cabinet and government, and how a legacy of unkindness dilutes sanity and reason. The actors are outstanding in expressing their sorrows, anguish, and frustration. This story is wonderfully presented, and the costumes and sets are beautifully crafted. Korean audio."
Errika Mason
"Set around the punishment of the Crown Prince’s act of treason as well as the flashbacks of moments between the father, son and grandson. Showing the folly of royal duties mixing family connections and not bringing there to comfort one another, when they should be on equal ground. Worthy watching though also heartbreaking!"
