The Story

 

A talented and respected fortune-teller and face-reading physiognomist falls in love with a beautiful young shaman.  But when they realize that both their own destiny and the fate of the country are dismal, they band together to change the future by replacing a corrupt ruler with an unlikely young man who shows great potential to be an honest and fair leader.  But those in authority will stop at nothing to maintain their power and influence.  And their dangerous game could cost the couple everything they have ever wanted.

Should I Watch

 

King Maker: The Change of Destiny -Full Review

"King Maker: The Change of Destiny" is a historical drama that does include a love story, although not much actual romance.  But the main focus of this drama is on the political intrigue and an interesting twist on the historical events that led to the end of a royal line and the gradual decline of the Joseon Dynasty.  The lack of popularity of this drama has little to do with the story itself, and more to do with a scandal involving its lead, so I have no comment on that aspect.  Though the drama comes on strong, with a lot of detail in the first couple episodes, I did find it slow in parts later on.  But I enjoyed the complexity of the plot and the consistent threads of the main storyline through the whole series.  The supernatural and scientific representations of fortune telling were interesting and well-thought out.   I give "King Maker: The Change of Destiny" an 8 out of 10 ramen.
