"Love" in the heroine because the twin brother was killed, and forced to dress as a man to become Wang Shizi, "TENASIA" pointed out that this setting before the start of the broadcast, the outside world has a lot of worries, although there have been many female companions men's theme of the TV series, but for the "female dress male Wang Shizi" setting is still somewhat strange, the audience's acceptance has become the key to the ratings.

In addition, the 1st and 2nd episodes of "Love" rely on the excellent performance of child star Choi Myung-bin alone to play two roles, so that the audience can quickly enter the plot, in addition to the natural acting skills are the key, the role of childhood even if dressed up as a man, there will not be much sense of violation, but as the plot enters the adulthood, the heroine Park Eun Bin acting skills, although highly affirmed, are obviously disadvantaged in appearance, because of her relatively short size, plus in order to digest the men's clothing setting, the deliberately suppressed voice also appears unnatural, Standing next to Lu Yun, who is 190 centimeters long, he is even more unable to show the majesty of being a prince.

On the other hand, the male protagonist Lu Yun in the play, took on the "licorice character" supporting role to show the funny setting is slightly redundant, and the plot of the fight with the heroine also makes the audience lack of interest, the pace of the progress of the story is also slow, the delay in advancing the plot makes the two unable to play more charm, but the male second Nan Runshou's character setting is more distinct, the sense of existence is more prominent.

The slow progress of the plot, coupled with the audience's difficulty in understanding the setting of the male protagonist and the men's female Shizi, makes "Love" continue to show a downward trend after reaching 6.7% ratings in episode 2, which has become a considerable contrast with the "Dark History" and "Moonrise River" that are also KBS historical dramas, which show an upward trend every week and finally break the 10% ratings. However, "TENASIA" also pointed out that "Red Sky Machine", which is the same as the historical drama at the same time as "Love", ended this week, and the follow-up work has not yet been scheduled, as the only WIRELESS TV series in this period, "Love" still has the opportunity to turn the tide.
