This drama is just soo well written,well acted that it will make you go on a roller coaster of feelings, 50 episodes may appear as if it's a lot,i swear that it is faar from being enough
This work of art only explores the multitute of human emotions laying bare the complexity of human interactions and the unpredictability of life in every possible way that it feels wanting for more even after 50 episodes.
My brother who never watches Asian dramas, not even a two hour movie, let alone 50 episodes. I convinced him to watch only one episode in exchange of beers and snacks lol. He couldn't stop after episode one and bing watched it for 3 days straight! :D
This series is my all time favourite followed by "Mouse". The plot, the tension, the acting. Everything is phenomenal and makes you get carried away until the very last episode. I have watched all popular kdramas and western shows. Nothing comes close to this. Just one thing you need to focus though. There are many characters and names. Don't be confused. The quotes in this series are also life changing for me. I couldn't get over this series even after a month.
Extremely well written series. I loved all the characters with their good and bad. You get to see an amazing story and character development, you will get to love and hate the same character multiple times. Game of thrones is nothing compared to this!
This was exceptional beyond words. I don't like subtitled films let alone 55 episodes of subtitles but this I was just immediately immersed into. There's something about the History and the dynasty that is so captivating and intriguing you just need to watch more. The storyline is unpredictable and the twists and turns take you on a journey you won't forget. It's an education watching it understanding is another facets to this beautiful story. I wish it never ends ... I feel I'll watch it again as I'm sure you will find out more second time around !

The flight of the dragons is the Joseon dynasty's rise in accordance with "the Mandate of Heaven."
