Storyline

On the wedding parade of King Lee Kyung (Kim Min-kyu) and Queen Kang Eun-gi (Jin Se-yeon), they are being ambushed and killed by assassins. However, due to some unknown reason, the dead king re-surrects. 

Meanwhile, the left state minister, Jo Heung-gyeon (Lee Jae-yong) presents everyone the exiled Prince Lee Jae-hwa (Do Sang-woo) to be the next king. They are both shocked to know that the king is still alive.

Eun-gi's father, Kang Yi-soo (Lee Ki-young) is accused of treason by political rivals and is sentenced to death by hanging. Yi-soo's friend, Baek Ja-yong (Uhm Hyo-sup) notices Kang Eun-bo (Jin Se-yeon) and reveals her true identity as twin sister to Eun-gi.

The Palace is looking for a new queen again. Determined to find out the truth of her sister's death, Eun-bo participates in the selection under the name of Hong Yeon, daughter of Gyeong-gi Governor Hong Ki-ho (Lee Yoon-gun).

Ki-ho, Ja-yong and Jae-hwa plan to overthrow Lee Kyung and Eun-bo is chosen as their pawn.

On the other hand, after his resurrection, Lee Kyung starts to have precognitions about Eun-bo. Whenever Lee Kyung tries to change the future, his health deteriorates.

My View

Quite a nice storyline combining fantasy with historical genre.

I must say Jin Se-yeon looks very beautiful in historical period dramas.

Rating

3/5 Stars
