Lee Joon Gi delivered his role of unwanted, abused, desperate-for- love Prince very well, and IU was very natural in her expressions. Their friendship and romance were slow in developing, but blossomed beautifully when they did, leaving viewers aching for more.

They say a story is only as good its villain. Scarlet Heart has no shortage of villains, all the actors and actresses playing their roles magnificently 'til the end.

Warning: This drama is not for the weak-minded and fainthearted.

Overall: Good acting, good story, good soundtrack, good chemistry between the leads, good fight sequences, good cinematography, based on historical events (but filmed with liberty).

I was hooked from start to finish, left with just one wish... that the director and staff have mercy and finally grace us with those precious deleted scenes!
