Joseon chongjabi

It was so long ago when I watched it and this is what I wrote. This is a hard movie to watch. So much tragedy. Watched ages ago Lee Joon Gi my hero. Must watch again some day. The his is one of the first dramas I watched years ago.

JG reunion with nam sang mi, I really love their chemistry. The strong plot , the whole cast did an amazing job.

The drama fell flat in so many ways. The whole idea of a sharpshooter tackling the Joseon era should've been thrilling but the way they pulled it off was dull. The characters were generally dislikable. Their emotions and connections felt about as deep as a puddle after a sprinkle. And that forced romance was cringe central. No spark, no real chemistry between these characters, making it hard to care about their lovey-dovey moments. They tossed action, romance, and politics into a blender without a recipe, which resulted in a messy unattractive artificial mix. It's hard to recommend this one...

This drama started well, good acting and directing and soundtrack, but over the course of the 22 episodes it degraded till it felt like a student attempt at writing.

This show is great and one of the more original Korean dramas.

I watched it on drama fever where it is called the Joseon Gunman btw.

The story is about revenge. The best swordsman in Joseon gets killed while on a mission for the king to catch a mysterious masked gunman who uses a Western style rifle. He is the victim of a broader conspiracy and after he is killed, the kind declares him a traitor. His son is then sentenced to death and his daughter is sold into slavery. The son (who is the star of the show) runs away to Japan for a few years and comes back as the best gunman ever.

Once back in Joseon, he pretends to be a Japanese businessman while he hunts for the people who killed his dad. He helps poor people n stuff while he searches and becomes a masked hero gunman of sorts.

There is tons of action and drama although the main story doesn't really start until episode 4 so give it a chance. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind subtitles.
