pikachu23 Anyone here knows, where to watch this show? Thanks!

Laura Well this is a fictional story based on true historical characters & incidents . After watching queen Inu I understand whu this is just fiction . Real history was so tragic . Lee Kangs Character who was written with King Sejo is not really that brutal and both are biological sons of queen that little king is a teenager instead of a baby little king & main leads character get executed while king sejo survives. In a way its nice they protrayed another way of reimagination how it should happen. Rarely grand princes really act as their role . Even they dont want throne officially they are pushed for their survival & by society

Hafsah Currently on ep 6 and I had to pause to check the review of this drama, because I was getting doubtful abt the queen being the real mother of the villain prince, like this prince is screaming loneliness!!! He just want to be loved, I actually like all the cast , but I find myself getting drawn to the villain prince, like there shouldn't be favouritism among ones kid, see the way the queen is protecting the first and the last son over the second son is too much, and she's so obvious abt it, if she had shown the affection towards the villain prince, he wouldn't have been easily swayed by the uncle...I'm more interested in the bromance and motherly affection of this drama compare to the romance and I hope to get what I want by the end

Fine This drama is not bad, chemistry is on point. You will never see a perfect drama but this kind of plot is watchable especially it's a happy ending. I love Jahyun and baby King ❤️

Park Min The spoiler/teaser introduction and that first episode in general left a bad taste in my mouth. There was no need to show moments from 10 episodes later this early, if their intent was to try to hook the viewers by showing spoilers then they failed. And don't even get me started on that loathsome love triangle that seemed to stain the entire drama. The pacing was all over the place—slow moments that dragged on forever and irrelevant sidetracking. The whole sibling rivalry angle was given a generic development. The not so good brother tried to justify himself but the writer didn't put an ounce of effort into that. On another note, Yoon Shi Yoon looked weird with his baby beard.

Nina Although I still can't move on in Jin Se Yeon and Kim Min Gue team-up but I will try to watch this drama for Jin Se Yeon because I enjoyed her performance in Queen: Love And War, and it suprise this drama and QLAW is same director. This director seems to trust Jin Se Yeon, no wonder she is really good in sageuk. Honestly not familiar in the actor male lead in this drama..I think he is not popular, but I know the second male lead, I saw him in Borah Deborah.. I saw the comments below but I don't care in the criticism because whatever kind of Se Yeon character in this drama she is really suits in sageuk, it proves that in the good rating.

jezzie I love the female lead actress because she is loyal and lovely. There is no point if I listen to the haters here, JSY is the best actress, I like her performance she's the main reason that's why I watched this drama, if she's not a female lead here, I wouldn't be interested watching it, because I haven't watched any male lead dramas.

Shane The worse character in the drama was the female lead she was very childish and stupid

anzal love this drama, story, acting....

LightShine I only watched this drama because of Jin Se Yeon, no doubt she really suits the historical genre because of her precious charm this drama is one of the highest rating in TV Chosun she is really Queen of historical drama same as her other historical project. Oh, wii..here again nothing has changed the bitter commenters are still spread negativity in FL and they always target the weaknesses just like in other dramas, don't mind them guys it's still up to you whether you like the drama or not, don't hesitate in bad comments maybe this drama is not cup of tea of others but this is highly recommended and have a happy ending...

cherylthommo Commander Do. Very charismatic. I do have a soft spot for the palace soldiers, especially the youngish generals.

Bunmi I love the main actor The drama is interesting

Yumi I like the male lead but the female lead is a total disappointment. Her mouth is disturbing.

Yourfavcommentator This drama is like "my country" mix with "Queen for seven days", cant hate the lee kang even he is a main villain ,but why roo shi gae have to die thats so sad she can be "corcubine" :p, overall good, thanks

Lalallalllla Sorry but the female lead role is so irritating and somehow childish also the story is outdated , nothing new or interesting about it that I had to drop it at ep 12 Feels like historical kdramas are dragging down with time unfortunately!

Ujinaaa So many weak points in the plot , slow rhythm .. the only thing i liked about it is yoon shi yoon he is a good actor as always.. If you are looking for an average romantic story & you love the actors then it is for you , but if you are looking for a real strong historical drama then I don't recommend it..

princeM The ending is just like an action film, man to man battle. It is not anywhere near a political drama. But overall, its great 7/10

dee one of the best historical drama, plot is really interesting and ending is happy, I really liked the main love story :)

Jojoanna Am watching this drama now and really find Lee Kang very disgusting. Very happy he is paired with Yoon Na-Gyeom who is on the same par as Lee Kang that is to do what they want in order to get what they want. Must say Lee Kang and Yoon Na-gyeom a perfect match. Rooting for Lee Hwi and Sung Ja-hyun to be together. Cannot believe and imagine Sung Deuk-sik is Sung Ja-hyun brother. Sung Deuk-sik has no consideration whatsoever for his sister. He is the type who will sell out his sister if it means he will get an upper hand in getting what he wants from Lee Kang. Still at early episode and rooting for Hwi and Hyun to be together no matter what

Doris Ang I love this drama that i watched it over and over again. Shi Yoon and Jin Se Yeon had a great chemistry. Love both these great actors. Looking forward for another project for both

SageGrace The story and it's execution, the actors, everything ... stellar, phenomenal !!

Ismail Issa I love this drama

Mariam I'm only through episode 5, but I'm in love.

Guren i dont know why but i hate kissing scenes in Historical dramas. i prefer hugging

ichichi Their Chemistry was so goooood!!! And because they are always separated by destiny ( Is it really destiny??? HAhahahaha), you'll always wait for their reunion!! it will satisfy your expectations on how they will meet! It make me cry (tears of joy) every time I watch those scenes :) I wanna watch it agaaaaain!

haru Okay, So I've been looking for a Saeguk drama to watch.. coz sometimes i'm tired of watching modern day dramas with the same old plots... and never i imagine that I will like this one! For real, i was never bored watching this..as we all know watching saeguk will sometimes make you bored right, but here I was not..

there are just few saeguk dramas that never got me bored.. the moon embracing the sun, Moon lovers, moonlight drawn by clouds, scholar who walks the night and princess man.. I will add this to my list! hahahaha im glad I watched this despite the some negative reviews...

after watching this, i became fan of Yoo Si yoon with beard :) He looks so good with it.. he became more manly. And Plus points for the Kissing scenes :)

And of course, Jin se yun is so pretty and i like her acting.

Iyabo Very interesting drama with brilliant actors/actresses. Unfortunately the drama should have English translation for millions of English speaking viewers. Too bad!!!!!!!!

Ryu Shin Since this drama finished airing, so many time that I keep thinking whether I should watch this drama or not.. Based on the synopsis, this drama have two elements that I least like in Kdrama which is historical and love triangle.. But after almost 2 years I was hesitant to watch this drama, at last I give a try because of the lead actor and actress is my favorite.. After wasting 20 hours of my precious time, my reaction is WWWOOOOWWW, this drama really superb.. Their love story really WOW( I don't have any word to describe because its so amazing)..

p/s: If I can travel through time and meet myself during this drama finished airing, I'm gonna smack my head and say "이 바보같은 자식"

Kimmy This drama was beautiful to be honest.it was never boring or dull. The relationship between Lee Hwi and Ja Hyun was also really beautiful and sweet, though i felt it was a bit rushed and became too deep without much development. I must also admit that throughout the story my heart bled for the villain more than for the main characters. Joo Sang Wook played his character very well and he was the charming bad guy who only just wanted to be loved and was very lonely. I felt that no one understood him until of course at the very end when it was already too late. Nd i loved Roo Si Gae like crazy so much that at times i even loved her more than the lead actress.. that being said, i didnt completely fall in love with the leads,especially the female lead as i felt her character just didnt have much purpose except for the love line, but i love Jin Se Yun i guess this disappointment was because i watched her as a strong female lead in flower in prison so to see as this girl who only cared about a man and wasnt strong enough was kind of disappointing.. overall, it was a good show with one of the best romances in historical dramas.

The answer to Gita's question Because the real attitude of the second lead actress in accordance with her character in this drama. Alike devil characters...

Lidya Novi Allow me to go straight to the point. actors make up were too overwhelming ! .The Prince lipstick at early story can be much more related to him who has free-spirit as an artistic painter. The story itself is nice, so at the next project there will be relatable make up character

Julie Amazing excellent production and superb acting! Can’t help but watched this drama several times absolutely on top of my list. Hwi and ja hyun love story is over the top beautiful!

Gita What was the reason they hired a bully as their second lead actress ?

June I hesitated watching this because of all of the negative comments - but finally decided to watch it because of Joo Sang Wook. His acting in this is so GOOD! I didn't know how well he'd do as the bad guy - but wow! His performance in this is absolutely riveting! Plus, he's still beautiful.

tinsanity i had high expectations with this drama, and it didn't work out.. something is lacking as if they rushed the ending but well, still a happy ending tho'.. i love the kissing scenes tbh hahaha, and im fricking jealous of jin se yeon,lololol

good thing donggu has a new drama, that would really fill my ysy drought lol

(spoiler)

im just mad they killed roo shi gae like wtf?!??!?!?! i was expecting a cute ending for her with eunuch park.. :(

Esraa Hello, I’m from The Middle East. This drama was the most beautiful drama I had ever seen in my 6th years of watching korean drama. The cast and the story was really great , everything was good from the beginning till the end. I really want to thank the writer for this story which contain a beautiful wisdom. Everyone act as real . Thank you for this drama .

Kimac Just finished rewatched this drama. Missed the cast, especially Jin Se Yeon and Joo Sang Wook. Waiting to hear their next project. Hope its soon!

S.N Im reluctant to watch this drama because from the description it seems as if its all about a love triangle and i'm tired of love triangles in kdramas.

hwihyun couple:) I love this drama, we have differents comments but if the other enjoyed this drama it means they hooked up in storyline, it's good to respect each other if the other viewers love this drama, for me even this drama is not that perfect but not bad because this sageuk have good lessons, successful ratings and they earned a good results, good teamwork of the cast and good drama for 2018.

Wanies I think this is the worst script and plot ever tht yoon shi yoon or jin se yun taking part in it.... Pity the actor n actress... They will get criticsm because of this one... N im truly want to say tht this drama is not great at all... I dunno wht happened to the plot of the strory.. Tjere are so many lacking in there n not showing macho at all toward the male lead... Huh.... Totally not daebak!

happydrama A mediocre series with predictable action. Joo Sang-Wook does not fit with historical drama.

CutieKR every episode is successful even the hurt I feel and also loved...Lee Whi and Sung Ja-Hyun best relationship as a boyfriend and girlfriend, it is not as a simple of the struggles in love but also in their own self..I Love their tandem, even their failed many time but they strive more... Lee Kang are best also Yoon Na-Gyeom as a antagonist they are good tandem... Ggeut-Dan & Sung Deuk-Sik are cute tandem... Jin Se-Yun best acting and also Yoon Si-Yoon In the Historical Drama I watch This is excellent, not just the ending but also every episode you will learn about it... i vote for best dramas in 2018 this Grand Prince drama...


I loved to watch this again in every episodes you feel life you there on the scenes ..

Dana To tell you the truth I watch this drama because of Joo Sang Wook . I`m a big fan . I used to watch him as the perfect gentleman even if he was poor. In this drama he showed another character that i hated, loved, Sympathies and cursed at him. I was realy touched when he was strong in front of the world and very weak in front of his love

Loved this drama and i`ll watch it again

fallingstars I read all the comments and it makes me want to do one. Everyone has a right to have their own opinion and I think this drama is really good. Not without flaws, of course, but really good. at first, I was kinda doubtful with Jin Se-Yun after watching her work in DS. But in this drama, I can see her improving much and actually has a great chemistry with Yoon Shi-Yoon. The two main actors are fantastic. Their deep emotions are perfectly conveyed in each scenes. The other supporting roles are superb and make the drama more amazing. The musics are wonderful. Especially the opening theme. The main flaw, though, the plot. It is kind of dragging. Some dialogues are even repetitive, made me skipping some scenes. The romance (the main romance) needs to be longer especially the courtship, in my opinion. I feel like SJH has more screentimes with LK rather LH. Some scenes also dont support or help the development of the characters' character. Yet, I really love the banter beetween SJH and LH when they are in the light mood. I love how SJH made LH flustered so many times with her wit and curiousity. I love her stubbornness and straightforward action. She is strong yet delicate, honest and loyal to her feelings (to the point near to selfish)yet so kind-hearted, brash yet educated. I love how LH characters remind so much with Peeta M. from The Hunger Games. He started as a "perfect" pretty boy character with all his kindness, innocent, and delicate personalities. But after going through the hardships and almost dying second times, he changed. In the end, though, he was still the same guy with his too kind heart. ♥♥ I ached the interactions between LK and the Mother. It exposed the problem that many families and children struggle with. I ramble too much but let me to say this... This drama is worthy too watch for me.

Benjamin I really love this drama a lot. It yearns me a lot of lessons in life. I learned that not everyone can express their love to others properly due to misguidance. I also learned that favoring one another can lead to unfathomable greed of seeking attention. The ost's are amazing and the actings are solid. The last episode made me cry. This is the reason why I like kdrama so much, because they make us understand the antagonists, not only we will love the protagonist but also the antagonist. I salute this drama.

hwihyun couple:) This is such a wonderful drama from the first up to the ending of this drama was so good, the otp lovely hwihyun were so great with all the team even lee kang. I recommended this drama because this is a good drama of 2018 and I love the relationship of the cast they love each other hope they all have a chance to reunite in their future dramas, reminders don't listen to the unpleasant comments please watch this drama as you want.

Lee I found this drama a bit lacking.

In the first half of the drama, it was like watching a puppy get kicked around by the Joo Sang Wook character.

In reality, in those times, the Joo Sang Wook character was probably a better fit for that particular time period. You had to be pretty Machiavellian, in order to survive those times, as a royal.

And then, throughout the drama, I had the sense that the MC (played by Yoon Si Yoon) pretty much lost every single battle with the Joo Sang Wook character. He was pretty much outwitted and outplayed by the Joo Sang Wook character, in every confrontation.

And even at the end, it wasn't much better. The MC wins, not by skill or outwitting his adversary, but by some weird deus ex machina element, where he somehow wins in a situation where he should, by all rights, have been utterly defeated.

I think the fundamental problem was that the script was very weak. Again, it was like watching a loveable puppy get kicked around for most of the drama, and somehow miraculously win at the end, for some unfathomable reason. Acting, I would give solid A's throughout. For the script, I would give a C-, as it seemed like the writer didn't know how to plot the drama in a way that engaged the audience, and yet was basically believable.

And that royal v. royal sword scene at the end was just ridiculous and silly and strained credulity.

Agus Wahyudi The worst ever!!!!

Mayfair Phoenix This drama’s plot is so juvenile I dunno what more to say, comparing with those cdrama.

Brown Sugar In ep 20, Joo sang wook you make my tears flow. You are the best.

Sushma Never was satisfied with historical dramas climax but this was an exceptional. I totally loved it.

Jac Enjoyed the drama wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end. What is moral of this story do not separate your children and favor one over another.

The two lead actors should get award because of their drawing love that over came greed and hatred.

Khim Two more episode.

Jac Now we know Idiots King and Queen are both insane. Fighting for the two leads.

Jac One down and two more to go in the family. King, Queen, and brother needs to be be headed. Love this drama.

Yue I wasn't sure how I felt about Joo Sang-Wook being the bad guy because he tend to be the good guy in most of the things he had been in and that I've seen. But damn... that was some brilliant acting on his part that I can't help to just hate the character. It also played a good contrast to YSY's character who's the polar opposite, though at the same time you can see the similarities between the two characters as well. They definitely play off each other well and that was good. And as someone who went in not sure about JSY, I'm happy that she proved me wrong. I like the quite strength and also the bullheadedness of her character as well as how it played off the male characters. She wasn't completely hopeless and that was good.

Sofia It's getting better and better. Totally love it the way JH is now fighting alongside Hwi. She doesn't turn into a full-badass-mode which is really story-wise, in my opinion. Te pace of the story is also going smoothly...it hurts me to see Kang's current condition. The scene of him and his uncle in episode 16 breaks my heart. I don't know why..it is not even a sad scene XD

ayoniseyo i am a super fan of yoon shi-yoon and this drama made me a fan of joo sang wook too. He's such an annoying villain.

Jac It is down hill for the nutty king who wife, uncle, and indiot follows go to war.

Like the connection between the two leading actors. Fighting for you two

Jane The Kang River (Joo Sang Wook) play really good

peppermint i see there so many people hate Lee Kang...but its a proof how amazing Joo Sang Wook..He is a really great actor....

Jac From ESP 15 it looks like The King and Queen are insanely nuts. Does really give either actor stars for being idiots.

Jac Finally a Kdrama that’s from the female perspective. I have enjoyed viewing Grand Prince.

Hopefully there will be a rebellion against the king.

Amal @rskdrama ,, are you serious??!!!

rskdrama @Yun - their acting is that good that you have to hate them. Joo Sang Wook has done a good job being a bad prince. From hero in other drama's to a villian here is amazing. On the other hand, Yoon Si Yoon and Jin Se yun acting is very weak, even though they are the leads of this drama.

BR39 This drama has some good actors but their efforts are wasted by a poor screenwriter who does not seem to know where she is going. She give us one choppy and simplistic episode after another. I dread the thought of the final episode, which is where otherwise very good k-dramas can disappoint.

Still, there are good actors. Among them, actress Kim Mi-Kyung is particularly good at making the best of a weak script. She consistently delivers strong, warm, moving, believable moments from episode to episode. She has a sense of humor too.

This drama is not a good use of my time.

BR39 This drama has quite a few good actors, but their efforts are wasted on very weak screenwriting, choppy scenes 'rescued' by simplistic moves and an often frozen development of characters.

Many actors make a valiant effort to rescue the drama. They can't be listed onen alllhere. I find Kim Mi-kyung particularly good

Yun It's the first time that I really hate the antagonist in kdrama. I really hate lee Kang and yoon nam gyeong. Nam gyeong is her friend but she betrayed her due to her greediness. Lee Kang also blind due to his greediness. The protagonist that I don't like is the king's mom she knew that hwi doesn't want the throne, but she force it. Poor hwi.

MF This drama has caught my attention,it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.I hope it won't be a disappointment due to last drama i watched somehow it started so good and lost the plot right at the end. I was so gutted.

rskdrama Anyone but Jin Se-Yin would have done this character justice.

오틸리아 I totally agree with Kimac! This is the best 2018 korean drama aired until now! If you are wondering if you should watch it, if it's a good one, well, believe me, just when you are going through angst and you are crying, you know it's a good k-drama. Others can say it's boring or lacks chemistry, but only you can decide on your part! Don't let anyone interfere with your decision!

Random People who don't like you will always find a reason to dislike you, no matter how stupid that reason may be. this haters will broadcast your failure but whisper your success. they like crickets who make a lot of noise but reality they are nothing. i like this drama & all the cast. the writer not only show us romance but they show us bromances, womance (JH & KD), sistermance (JH& RSG). i pray this drama will have happy ending and successful.

Just ignore those haters. if 1% hate you, there are 10% willing to love you..

Kimac This is the best drama for 2018. Perfect casting and songs. The chemistry between the male and female leads is such a joy to watch. The sisterhood (mistress, maid and protector) is just what I am expecting as they have to depend on each other to fight against the traitors in order to save the prince. Cant wait to see the ending, and hope it will be a happy one to make their endless parting worth it.

hwihyun couple :) I like hwihyun or whistle ysy and jsy sweet couple, I'am not bother to bitter trolls out there, actually this is the first time I like ysy donggu to his partner, I appreciate ysy and jsy have perfect chemistry they like husband and wife, if you want to watch their GP drama bts you feel their comfortable touch to each other, about for acting of jsy like other said jsy is really improved in this drama with donggu that was true :), for dear viewers if you appreciate this drama don't bother to listening the unpleasant comments because that is false observations, I admit this drama is not fully perfect but all actors and actresses i mean( casting)are good and the scenery was great and our otp lovers are perfect.. for haters or bitter forever pathetic:( more success to GrandPrince drama and GP team fighting!

Ngr Jin se yeon :))) she is great actress <3 ı love her

AB To be honest, the weakest part of this drama is the love story. It is completely unbelievable. Be it between the 3 leads, or with any other characters. Romance? Newsflash! Romance is not just skindeep.. whoever thinks kisses indicates chemistry cant be more mistaken! Yoon Shi Yoon have more chemistry with Kim Sae Ron who is half his age in Mirror of the Witch, and they didnt even share any kiss in the whole drama! Here, despite so many kisses, hugs, skinship, completely unlike a normal sageuk, yet i still cant believe that Hwi truly loves Jahyun! He has the least chemistry with Jin Se Yeon when compared to all his ex-costars, to say the truth. Though i dont think its because of him, but more because of Jin Se Yeon who is just mostly expressionless.

The second truth of the weakness in this drama is Jin Se Yeon. No matter how many ppl say ‘she is improving’, well, she is still weak, still expressionless, still cant act. Her ‘fainting’ act was so laughable.. turning your head in a round? Man... an amateur could do that. If not for the director’s smart maneuvering of the camera angles, it would’ve been even worst. Totally couldnt understand how she ever become lead.. the harsh truth is, many people skip this drama soon as they see her name. She should just never act again. Period! Stop spoiling dramas and do something else!

The third truth is this writer’s work is weak. Her characters are not fully developed, mostly one-dimentional, except for Hwi. I dont know if its the actor who added depth to the character in their portrayal, but other than Hwi who shows growth and room for more developments, the others are mostly one-dimentional. The worst of all is Jahyun. She is actually just a spoilt & selfish character who only cares about her own desires, her own happiness. I find nothing to admire in this character. Every decision she makes, every action she do, is for her ownself, without caring if it affects other people. If she is shown to be kind to less unfortunate souls, like distributing food to the poor, or doing some charity work, i might like her more. As it is, she do nothing for other people, but rather make demands as if she is ‘entitled’ to it, completely inconsiderate. The worst character i ever encounter. Definitely not ‘Queen’ material.

It’s just sad that this drama ended up this way. Had so much hope for this drama and was excited to see the collaboration of Joo Sang Wook and Yoon Shi Yoon, who are both great in acting. But the center of their conflict, Jin Se Yeon is not believable as the core of their rivalry, making the romance lacking, and the story losing its main plot. However, both guys look great in historical costumes, and Yoon Shi Yoon showed some great action scenes.. worth a watch if you can stomach Jin Se Yeon, and dont mind the weak romance, or just keep your eyes on the two awesome male leads.

mimi When I read the summary plot of this story, I hate reading this " Lee Whi and Lee Kang both fall in love with Ja-Hyun". Why some writers' stories are go like that. Brothers fighting to each other because of love? Greediness within the family? But still I'm watching this because of the oppas, hmmm so cute indeed.

Florandy Cabrera It is a good drama over all. But too much greediness going on. Grrr... I am beginning to hate Joo Sang Wook.

kinkin i never hate the antagonist character this much. I really really wannna kill Jinsang Daegun so much. i felt tired because of his character, i used profanity word so much while watching this drama :(

ÁMÂL I love episode 10 the drama is going well, for those who blame prince Hwi and think that he is stupid!!! First of all lee kang is his brother and he still loves him and wants him back to the right way, he even ready to forget everything if kang shows loyalty to the little king , but what kang done in Hwi’s wedding day un predictable , whi cant conduct his brother even if he sure 100% that was kang made , where is the evidence then the plot will not sense,, what happened is the perfect script actually and I really like this drama ,, it’s my tea cup exactly ??????

Angry I hate episode 10 ?

Brian Worth to watch..ilove this drama..Yoon Si yoon fighting!

Moonvhe I think Prince Eun Seong is a bit stupid, he should know what his brother like, but he still behaves and trusted like his brother will never harm him

Ella This drama is so good, I'm so impatient for see the next episode. I love Yoon Shi Yoon :)

favi finished watching episode 10, cried so hard...im so disappointment.I want it to be a happy ending for hui and ja hyun.Please.......

ZZZZ The basic concept of this early Choseon period drama had genuine potential, but by the 10th episode my interest is gone.

I can give many reasons, but I will follow the advice of Thumper's mother in Walt Disney's Bambi: "If you do not have anything good to say, don't say anything at all".

I am only sorry for some actors I know and like who are caught into this show.

Vio Yoon Shi Yoon (Yoon Dong Goo) new drama is so good, love him :*

desukedo Just finished ep8, and it was hardcore sad. I am now a fan of the leading lady. Everyone was complaining about her acting early on, but she is superb in this episode. The characters are likeable, and the females are badass - good and bad ones - in which they won’t back down to any male characters. The secondary characters all bring in fun and complexity to the story. Of course, Donggu, you never cease to amaze me with your acting!

Sania Mahem Everything about this drama is on point. Yoon Shi Yoon is at his best. The story, characters, etc are so good that one can't wait to see what's next! It Grand Prince, fighting!

Tiyah Great Chemistry Shi Yoon ? Se Yun....

Iilly405 I read some comments below about the possibility of King Sejo's story-based...do you guys mean the Grand Prince Suyang? The last time I watched his story base was in The Princess' Man...another amazing drama as well, indeed. Apart from all the guess, this drama is a must watching one. I can't agree more with the comments about the fast-paced plot and story-wise, the intense moments, beautiful romance, amazing OST, everything...And of course Yoon Shi Yoon's superb acting..I think he's one of the few actors who look amazing as Joseon fine men beside Lee Jun Ki, Park Si Hoo, and Yoo Seung Ho ? Joo Sang Wook here also looks so handsomely badass wewwww

DramaLover Strongly recommended! I like everything about this drama - actors, actress, the pace and the music.

Grand Prince Things are going fast in this drama, so I believe It won't last more than 20 episode. Usually, I like long-term Sageuk, but I hope it won't be a disappoint. I tried to link this drama with true story events but doesn't seem like it based on any.

Ha na Last drama with yoon shiyoon ive watched was kimtakgu. I have to say I was mesmerized by his acting in grand prince. Storyline-wise, well saeguk drama mostly revolve around issue you'd expected, power, love triangle etc. I think I like the pace of this drama. Not too slow not too fast. I read somewhere viewers are worried of the main actress performance. I must say, its not so bad and with yoon shiyoon as her pairing, you may rest assured they manage to balance each other. 100% recommended. Do watch grand prince.

Jasmyn Based on my research, I also believe that the second son is King Sejo, while the third son (Donggu's character in the drama) is Prince Anpyeong, who was a brilliant painter. Prince Anpyeong supported his young nephew but was later killed by his brother on the supposed conspiracy act of treason.

If this drama does follow this storyline, I will cry so much.

Ellabear I'm really curious about one thing.? i hope someone can stop my curiosity. ?everytime i watch a historical korean drama, i end up searching in google if it's a true to life story. And this kdrama is giving me a headache. I read a comment here that there is a possibility that it may based on king sejo' story. Upon reading the life of sejo, i can say that there is really a similarity i wanted to prove that it ia not, cause my two favorite leading couple here might not wnd up together.

Hope someone can answer me. Please.

Diana Great acting and story lines so far what I seen I’ve been hooked I want more please keep me hook on it I miss drama like this one great job

kunieyun I hate it when people compare it to QF7D and they go complaining even it's been only 4 episodes yet... it's different i tell you... anyway the drama is good, I love how the pacing of the story is on track...not to fast and not to dragging... promise my self to finish it's airing first before I watch it on the net... but I can't help it. The story is good and both male leads are doing a fine job portraying their characters ... Now I need to wait every week and it's killing me *ughhh ... GRAND PRINCE FIGHTING!

Kpopfanboy I Think this drama is about the life story of King Sejo the Second Son of The Great King Sejong, A king who stole the throne from his nephew. And in the end of this Drama Prince Lee Kang will be the King. That's what I think.?✌ So excited with drama because of DONG GU .

Migs Pants I love this drama. I think it will give a valuable impact in the televiewers. I like 2 grand princes and the hooked in 1 girl . Im so excited of what will happen soon.

anne I just love yoon shi yoon in this drama...he is such a good actor...i hope he will be nominated for some awards...the 1st ep. And the 1st scene of him walking in the snow was so good...no words were spoken but his face tells it all...hope the dramas story will get better and better as the romance was fast paced.

Elif This drama has me hooked. It's just so good! I love the chemistry between Si Yoon and Se Yun! :D

Shwesin I like this drama ❤️❤️ Becoz I love Jin Se-Yun She is good actress,Fighting Jin Se-Yun I always support you

Chochinshwesin I like this drama ❤️❤️ Becoz I love Jin Se-Yun She is good actress,Fighting Jin Se-Yun I always support you

Lee So much addiction for this drama,i cant wait nxt episodes!!! All of them are good acting,thumbs up??

Lily Lee Kang Prince (Joo Sang Wook) has the best charisma and charms.

val wondering where the haters come from or from what fandom. can't your idol stand a chance by not having fans throw dirt and fake review on another actress?

Jin Se-Yun can act and she fit the tomboy character. and the storyline here isn't the same as 7-days. 7-days is a story about a seriously insecure king

Ginaddict People are nitpicking and nitpicking, I guess we all have our differences.

I just enjoy the storyline. I love the conflicting feelings Price Hwi makes whenever he thinks of older brother. The chemistry between the characters is also great. Obviously the production team had selected really talented artists. Joo Sang Wook is absolutely fitting his role as a jealous greedy monarch. Jin Se Yun is wonderful in giving different reactions to the Princes. They surely established who makes her heart flutter and who creeps her out.

I personally like this drama, it's arrival is just right because I have been craving some sageuk drama for some time now.

ÁMÂL? I really like the drama sooo much , main male lead cast are talented and add a special flavour to the drama ,, start is amazing ,, keep going guys .. fighting ??

Cherry Wow!! Thought I was the only one who cannot appreciate this drama.

1. the female actress has exactly the same look whether she is angry or trying to act cute. I cannot decide which is which. 2. the music accompaniment was nauseating. Some parts I almost puked out when the producer put a VERY dramatic piece of music for a simple and uninteresting dialogue. I was like, "Was I supposed get EMO over this???" 3. director lacks development for many scenes. Like I don't even know at what POINT in time the princes fell in love with the female lead. 4. It's like a copy of Queen of 7 days, Saimdang diary and My Sassy girl. Except that the feisty girl has every rights to be a spoilt brat in My Sassy Girl cos she's THE princess. This one goes around pissing princes off without considering she might have her head chopped off. 5. Lastly, if one professes to be artistic, at least show you have the sophistication in manners as well.

Sorry if l upset anyone here BUT I was really really looking forward to this show and hung on up to the 4th episode. Seems like my mind has overcome my dedication for Kdrama and won over ......

Random Among all the character,i love ja hyun character. she cute and adorable. for me JSY do a good job as jahyun. not amazing but good for me to understand her character. love her amazing chemistry with moon ji-in (her maid). i laughs alot when she around her family and her maid. JSY, until now you improved a lot and keep going to became better actress. you have amazing senior around you and keep learning and gain knowledge from them. go go fighting!! JSY fighting!! Grand Prince fighting!!!

Cams I love this drama! Love the story and super love Yoon Shi Yoon! :) I think the lead girl improved compared to Doctor Stranger in which I did not finish the drama because of her.

Bennie While this is without doubt a riveting and well-made drama and I do love the actors, episode 2 had me seething with rage. How they were abusing emaciated horses with no obvious care just has me speechless. It seems rather noone noticed the prominent ribs and hipbones, which should not be visible especially in horses with a thick winter coat. The saddlemarks on the horse Yoon Shi Yoon was riding were by no means insignificant but rather the result of continuus wounds from the saddle over a long time. It is just disgusting they would get away with that on national TV.

Stevens Seriously!I see comments like it's a really really (*infinity) good drama, so I gave it 2 more chances from the 1st episode to the 3rd,this is one of the most pathetic sageuk's ever produced,JSY I really loved her in the flower in prison and I waited so much for her premier inn the drama,but seriously her performance on the carriage as she was 'pretending' to sleep,I Don't think I should even comment on that. Am sure it's a great overall story but the presentation sucks,the drama just sucks. I miss seven day queen and dramas like Don't You,so good,this drama is just a joke. But we'll I guess to each is own.

mikan Yoon shi yoon is such a great actor!love the first scene in the snow...no words were spoken but his eyes tells it all...i cant even see donggu here...he fully transformed and so into his character...joo sang wook is also a good actor...makes me hate his character a lot,very effective

gongshim uhm the story line is just the same like queen for seven days??

baekhyun oh my god .i love it . Grand Prince is so good.Yoon Si-Yoon oppa fighting. i support u

Cyan Yoon si yoon..you're so cute ?

Kimac Love it! Especially JSY after her wonderful award winning performance in her last drama "Flower in Prison" She looks so beautiful in another historical drama. Her chemistry with the cast is so good to see.

Leslie Agggghhhhh! WHY?!!! Why do they do that on the first episode?! It ruined and spoiled everything! Now I don't even want to watch cause there's no suspense. What love triangle?!

Leslie Yoon Si-Yoon! You're back! I love you since The Baker King. I've been waiting for you to come back and been waiting awhile to watch historical drama. Please let this be great! Cause I have find one that kept my interest since Chuno (my all time favorite). Let's watch!

Ann Been looking at dramas to watch and as there havent been many historical dramas lately, Ive decided to give this a try. Only seen first episode but this already seem right up my street. Hopefully it unfolds into a nice and logical drama, not with many of those unnecessary plot twists and plots that dont make sense in the end.

The young Prince Eun Sung is so adorable!

JaeOh Grand Prince Team Fighting!!!!

Miles Omg.. nOw i won't miss you anymore my Yoon ???? i love you since the baker king until The besr hit and then now Grand Prince

Hwang Great acting by the main cast. All the best!!!

Kim The drama had a good start. I hope it goes good .Looks like jin se yeon acting really improved!

Simo @Elisa Jung Yoon Si-Yoon has already been the 1st lead in some drama for example ( Flower boy next door. the best hits)

Ellie So excited for this except for the fact that I don’t like the female lead. Haha I hope she excel this time! Fighting

Elisa Jung Yoon Shi Yoon as 1st lead?

Judy Can’t wait to see Grand Prince. Such a great cast of stars! I just love Joo Sang-Wook!❤️

Yo xiao Yoon shi Yoon . Good luck for your drama. I know you will be the best. Your acting is impressive. I love you

Sarah The prince staring at the camera like a flower boy the king looks more manly buy she always in up with the prince

ameni yoon shi yoon is the best Can't wait to see you Oppa. big kiss

Kim Lily for your information Joo Sang Wook already act in historical drama before, Queen Seon Deok and Huntresses.

Lee Seohwa Similar drama to God of War and Flower in Prison mixed together lol!

Juicytheatre YSY is the 1st lead, not the 2nd lead cos he's the lead protagonist. JSW is the lead antagonist. If u watch their latest trailer, YSY's face came out first and his face came out again at the end saying he will return alive. His name is also out first. So obviously the story is centred around his character, Lee Hwi. :)

Lily I am surprised to see Joo Sang Wook in saeguk. May i wish you every success in your new drama.

Angel Wow! Hurray...Joo Sang wook new drama...ive been waiting for it...wow also to Jin Se Yun...love her..she is beautiful in saeguk drama even in modern drama...cant wait!

Tieu Yen Yoon Shi Yoon is a male lead. So he can get the girl at the end

liri The network is not well-known and the production looks outdated.

Gail This is looking like those old historical korean dramas

ridwan172 jin se yun in saeguk drama again??? why? she is really good in high-end crush. i want her in romcom drama again

nicole reminds me of queen of seven days which is the bets historical drama i watched last year i cried laughed and screamed at my tv. but anyways i am here because i love this cast fighting.

Woo jin Why do I have to wait too long just to see you JSY, i just hope that this drama will be a hit. And don't mind those who say you can't act, your acting is great and it's getting better and better??

Miso Can't wait to see you .Joo Sang Wook Oppa.

Liri A difficult love triangle.I have a soft spot for ysy, so I probably won't be able handle it if he doesnt get the girl.

Mhotz My fave ahjussi JSW????????. Cant wait 4 his new kdrama??

Lee Seohwa Good! Jin Se Yun finally have another Joseon drama like Flower in Prison!!

JSW-JSY Joo sang wook and Jin se yun together....can’t wait to see this couple...I hope they both will the lead couple...love JSW

2d1n fan♥ I am really waiting for this coz of Yoon Si Yoon... Hope i will not be 2nd lead syndromeeee :) ♥ and the plot looks good too♥

drizzle when people said "Jin Se Yeon can't act", its obvious they're didn't watching Flower in Prison, her acting is really really growing better and better, shut up and just leave us in peace dear haters ^^

Guglis Seems like JSW will play an antagonist role this time.. The part he planned to kill YSY will be a smackdown for me..kekeke Hope JSY just fall in love with YSY only in tht drama. Dont be like a girl tht loves everyman.. I really dnt like it. Just stay with YSY only till the end.. Hope this drama will hit an award later. Cannot wait to watch it...

Taenthusiast Ryu Hwayoung in saeguk. Will watch it for her. Finally???

momo Yoon Shi Yoon. OmO. Cant wait ^o^^o^^o^^o^

Zus What's so good about get the girl at the end? LOL Let the 2nd male get the girl because JSY can't act kkkkk

hoe I hope the girl would end up with yoon si yoon, I love joo sang wook but it's looks like he'll be playing the antoganist this time

Yuki Finally, we can see JSW as a king. Can’t wait to see!

Brown Sugar Congratulations to Joo Sang Wook who has been cast as the king. Support you forever

dongu Donguyaa finally hehehe 2nd lead is Ok but his character will surely get the girl and I bet that the lead guy will die in the end hahaahahah

Sekar Waiting for you Jin Se Yeon Fighting dear.... Love You

Sri lanka Jin se yeon ... thank you for accepting the drama

dany yoon shi yoon we miss you. i hope your drama will be great. love you

Lily Joo Sang Wook oppa .Excellent at melodramas, romentic comedy and in variety shows. Can't wait to see you " Lee Kang Prince "

Jashik Been waiting for yoon siyoon comeback but the female lead already make me drop this drama. She is so bad at acting

Linda lee kang (joo sang wook) willing to kill his younger brother (yoon shi yoon) to get ja hyun? Does tht mean joo sang wook will play antagonist male lead?? And yoon shi yoon will play protagonist eventho he is a 2nd male lead? Then there’s a possibility that jsy will end up with her and not joo sang wook right?

p/s: @asianwiki apparently that girl in the middle of the pic is not jin se yeon ✌?

Sarang @Mikey you should try to watch it:) Sageuk drama aint that bad and believe me you’ll fall in love with sageuk drama once u try to watch any of it. and jin se yeon have done quite a good job in her previous sageuk drama, so tbh i kinda happy that she chose another sageuk drama this time. and if i were you i’ll watch anything with her on it regardless of what kind of drama it is if i miss her that much:):)

kimac Finally get to see our Princess on the small screen again. I love historical drama and hope she has plenty of actions in this new drama.

Rukia Finally, welcome back Jin Se Yeon. I hope to see you in modern drama but this traditional one is ok. I hope this drama will be successfull.

Mikey sigh. I just can't get into saeguk dramas. Im a big fan of Jin Se Yeon but looks like I'll have to wait longer to see her.

pavan Donguu second lead nooo don't do this

iva YSY as second lead? OMG I CANT OH F NO He better get the girl.

ren oh my god yoon shiyoon as a second lead i can't do this

Rya Please be a good drama!

kennedy rose well.. shi yoon accepted the offer..hope the drama will be a good one. donggu fighting!
