"Since We are Alive, there is still Hope. No matter what happens do not give up hope"
(As long as we breathe, there is always hope around the corner. Hope is not just for our lives, for our dreams but for the whole world as well. As this pandemic rises, we don't know what's going to happen in the future, to believe or to hang in hope is something that could be painful to experience or a happiest moment that could occur. No matter how hard things may be if we hold on to our hopes, everything will land on its place, and everything will be okay. There is always hope, believe. I hope that this pandemic would really end. )
Grand Prince tells a story about two brothers who fell in love with the same woman and their battle to the throne. Another tale of two brothers fighting (why can't they be a team!) While reading the plot about Grand Prince the story had some historical facts like Lee Hwi is based on Grand Prince Anpyeong and Lee Kang was based on the future king of Joseon King Sejo. So as I was reading how it's loosely based on historical figures I am 100% that this drama wouldn't end happily, given the fact about it's history :((((((
(Again this drama may have spoilers or may have spoilers lingering along the way)
Lee Hwi/Grand Prince Eun Seung played by Yoon Shi Yoon is a gentle, warm, brave, and honorable Grand Prince who is third in line to the throne. He knew that his role as a Grand Prince would be a support to the future King of Joseon and he doesn't have the slightest desire for the trone. All he wants was to live the life he wanted and to fall in love to woman he truly love.
I guess, Yoon Shi Yoon will always have a place in my fangirl heart! hahahaha He always had this charisma that whenever he gives a smile "I don't know" this is just me, it feels like he's too kind that you wanted to just stay next to him and confide in him hahaha... but this drama gave us a Manlier and tougher Yoon Shi Yoon! It was another new thing for me to seeee...
Overall, Yoon Shi Yoon always conveys his message to the viewers, from his love, his pain, to his warmth and decisions.
Jo Wang Suk is Prince Lee Kang. He's the second to the throne and was the opposite of Lee Hwi. Ever since he was younger or as he was growing up, his desire of getting to the throne was his main priority. As I was watching him, I still don't get why he was raised outside the palace walls. He longed so much for love especially to his mother, for a second I thought he wasn't the Queen Dowager's son but he was, I just can't understand why the mother and son relationship was floating. But the Queen loves him but I guess the way she raised him made him the way he is and I kinda felt bad for him, but gosh I hate his antics!
It's the first time I have seen Jo Wang Suk and the way he was as Prince Lee Kang was really intimidating and a bit scary. But just like how Ja Hyeon describes him, despite of him looking tough and madly bad, he has sadness in his eyes that seems beyond compell. But that doesn't mean he needs to be bad. His eyes speaks as well as his actions!
I love Jin Se Yeon, she's just so beautiful to watch. I can't even help but to say she's really pretty and I really felt the love she had for Hwi. Whenever she says his name, her eyes sparkles with L O V E.
Yoon Na Gyeon played by Ryu Hyo Yang is just like Lee Kang, her character gave a strong willed of aiming to be on top. If she supports Lee Kang on his way through the throne, she could also fulfills her wish to become Queen. The two of them could be a powerful couple if only they had made their way in the good path but they were both greedy of power. That's what the drama had showed for 20 episodes but in the the Queen did it so she could have a space in Lee Kang's heart. She love him and until the end she does. If only she said it in the beginning of their marriage. Lee kang would know that there is someone who loves him no matter what.
The lovestory between Ja Hyeon and Hwi is like a definition, LOVE CONQUERS ALL. In love you needed to make sacrifices, in love you need to make choices, and in love its also all about faith and trust. Their relationship also tells us destiny could really happen. Ja Hyeon said that if they meet three times in a row it means they are destined to be in love. Definitely Star Crossed Lovers. :) <3 kiligs!
The drama wouldn't be a good time to watch if it wasn't for the supporting characters. They blend the drama that they are like the glue to it's drama. I love Eunuch Park, Roo Si Gae, Jahyun's Oraeboni and Kkeut Dae, they're like the spice in a viand, they complete the menu of love, fun and bickering in the most fun way.
I also loved how Lee Hwi told Cho Hyu Kung (the Gisaeng who had tried to help Lee Kang but ended helping Lee Hwi)"You should find meaning in your life too, even though you are a low ranked individual and a woman with an injured eye, you will become a precious person. No, this is all incorrect. All people are precious". I guess it's the first time Hyu Kyung had heard someone telling her that she is a precious person too, not just someone who makes music or a gisaeng but someone precious.
This drama is also a happy ending. It did change the course of a drama that is loosely base on it's historical figures. If you guys want some historical drama this one may be for you! :)
