This was a historical + thriller drama. I thought it was alright, it was a bit different from the historical Cdramas I'm used to, in terms of pacing and the story set up, but I think it was still generally a rich story.

It covered the story of King Sejong in his quest to create Hangul and the people who were for and against him.

This drama was good. It had compelling characters and some very thrilling writing. There were times when it fell back on cliches/tropes which was slightly disappointing because this drama shone when it was completely off the rails.

Still, I think a lot of people would really enjoy this drama. It was well made and well acted.

Messy write up ahead, with spoilers~

This was okay. The only other Korean BL mini-drama I've watched is Nobleman Ryu's Wedding and I preferred that over You Make Me Dance.

I found that the story and writing didn't make enough sense and they weren't able to convince me of the main characters' romance. Of course, it was full of tropes, but that's not an issue if they fit in interesting ways in the setting, which I felt this show did not accomplish.

So I would only recommend it if you're a BL fan. Otherwise, I don't think it'd be entertaining enough to someone who was not used to BL dramas.

This was the first Kdrama that I finished. It was alright. It was definitely fun, but there were some things in the drama that prevented it from being as tight of a story line as I'd expected from such a highly rated drama.

I'd still recommend this drama as the comedic bits definitely had me cackling, but I had higher hopes for the story as a cohesive whole.
