The action and the plot is really interesting, especially if it's your first time to watch about the story of slave hunters of Korea. I was just hoping jang hyuk and da hae will wnd up together but Oh Ji ho is not bad either. So many emotions on this drama and you need to pay close attention to their dialogues to understand the story better.

The slave hunters is a melodramatic historical drama with a lot of fighting scenes in a time of the rise of guns. A time when slavery was normal and escaped slaves were hunted, thus the title. It is somewhat slow despite the number of fights (excellent ones, but on times too many for me) because of the lengthy takes of melodramatic scenes. This is a show that might be better not to binge to fully enjoy. The dialogues are good and there are important ones not to be missed to understand the politics and tactics, but I often had to rewind and stop to be able to read the subtitles, as too much info was pressed into one scene while the next showed up before I could catch on. The romances and the love triangle are somewhat exhausting... do not watch the show for them, even though the love story set the cause for Daegil to become a slave hunter. Some parts are overacted, but not to the extent to be annoying. And maybe a bit of an epilogue about Daegil's bros would have been nice. That's about all for the negatives.

On the positives we find a lot to spoil the eyes. Well built bodies of our warriors get enough screen time in good angles to value their efforts, great scenery of Korea's beautiful nature, hilarious fights, jumps and runs over rooftops and other obstacles. The story shows a wide range of human interaction and life, humorous, funny, raw, cruel, dirty, bitter, sweet, naked, false, genuine, literate, dumb, intelligent... and shares lines of wisdom while pondering on deep questions: Is it possible to change the world for the better, is it enough to change the political system or do people need to change? Is a classless society possible or will the pursued become perpetrators when in power? Is it possible to have a society where people are not exploited? It shows the warmth in the rotten and the coldness in the seemingly pure. All this makes it stand out of other historical dramas and makes this show excellent.

No need to say it's well directed and well acted by all and Jang Hyuk excels in incorporating his role in every aspect.

Be in the right mood to watch it, as it's not a feel-good show.

I'm really impressed with Jang Hyuk's performance. I applaud the intensity that he brings to the character Lee Dae-gil. One really feels his pain and anguish. I was shipping him and Kim Hye-won more so than the other male lead. It's a very emotional and entertaining drama. I highly recommend it.

I am.so completely blown away by episode 10. The moment l.was waiting for. Finally. They hugged and kissed. How romantic. I haven't watched all of it yet but this series has stolen my heart. I am.keeping my fingers crossed the two love birds will continue captivating us with their growing love. What l loved was that both didn't even realize that they were in love. This series will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's worth watching. The whole series takes a different approach which keeps one hooked. The acting is on point and l just love the scenery. Beautiful, views that are presented. The costumes are on point. Well done.

This my favorite korean drama.Is an amazing and Jang Hyuk with action he does he's so good.I like the story.
