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.
I was really scared and hesitant to watch 50 episodes drama but I couldn't hold back from watching yoo ah in as amazing actor... And oh boy I wasn't not disappointed, as someone who gets bored pretty fast I couldn't find one boring episode or one unrequired scene, that's how amazing the drama was.
Three of the dragons are real historical people and three were fiction(mo hyol, le bang ji, booni) but as I read later on about the foundation of josen... The drama was REALLY close to the historic events. It was a valuable lesson on the Korean history and they made it really interesting to watch.
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.
Non-stop excellence, each episode was engaging. Fifty episodes was not enough! The writing, the acting, the visuals, the sets, the characters, the action, the music, the costumes are all stunning. This is a classic for so many reasons.
This is a telling of thee life story of how Lee Bang Won became King of Joseon, by the same writer of. Another sageuk classic, "A Jewel in the Palace." The story is compelling, even with the complicated politics, relationships and ideology about how a nation struggled to reinvent itself. King Taejon's complicated rise to power and lead the new nation followed actual history.
This drama is so entertaining and educational; a "must-see" for fans of sageuks, After seeing hundreds of K-dramas, this tops my list.
