Hands down to date in 2021 this is the most enjoyable well written and directed and superbly exciting historical K drama. Unlike many costume dramas it doesn't lose steam or get bogged down in repetitive palace intrigue. There is a wonderful blend of mythical creatures, a strong love story with plenty of romantic beautifully filmed magical scenes and songs sung by the actors, and meaningful and exciting fighting action not just filler action. The story starts off strongly with the romance of the parents of the main character played by Lee Yeon Hee and Choi Jin Hyuk who is a scene stealer here and later on. Later on the younger crowd takes over and they are appealing and charming. Lee Seung Gi has the personality that is so likeable he shows why he gets so many roles over handsomer actors. His transformations are good not Twilight over the top. Suzy Bae is just so sweet and feisty - never annoying. What a star. The supporting cast is good to with early roles of Sung Joon and Yoo Yeon Seok.

Even if you think you might be bored with costume dramas this one is different from those before or after.

The highlight of this series was the ending actually. It made me realize that this story was nothing more than an introduction to the actual story. Overall, the story of this series is great but you'll find yourself dealing with very uncomfortable situations in it as it doesn't shy from the truths of that time and they are as bad as it is today if not worse. An authentic look at Korea during the times when it was called Joseon mixed with historical and mythical elements. The love duo Lee Seung-gi and Bae Suzy were great and I enjoyed their relationship and how they see love despite what they have come to know about their fate.

There are many emotions that you will go through with this drama but I can guarantee if period fantasy genre is your scene, you will fall in love with Lee Seung Gi and Suzy's characters in this drama. They are such a lovely and sweet pairing. 24 episodes sounds like a lot but I was left wanting more at the end of it. I loved that the female characters were very strong.

The starting is very exciting and it's very unique. however at the middle episodes story moves slovenly but i think it''s same in every TV series. The plot is very good. and acting of Suzy is amazing.

I am completely amazed by this story, by this great series!
