'The Red Palace' is a mystery historical drama with roots in Korean History.

The main character, first of all, is pretty interesting and lovable and I enjoyed her character development.

Also, I liked the ending as it was unexpected and original and fitted the story nicely.

However, I didn't like the mystery that much...

But, it was nice that the author uses real historical events in her stories.
