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.

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 !
Being only halfway thru the series, I almost waited until the end to write a review. This show is just too good to not have any reviews up though, so here's what I've seen thus far.
Many Korean dramas are based in the country's history, and this one is also. Not only did the writers pick a particularly tempestuous time period, but also father/son rulers. The story so far has grabbed me from the very fist show, and there's no way I would stop watching through the entire 50+ episodes. The story is written in such a way as to carefully craft each and every character interaction, to best acquaint the audience with all the players. Their stories are being quite intricately developed with many layers. I've found myself sad when some of the worst villains were done away with, because I enjoyed them so much. There are not so many black and white characters, as many shades of gray characters. The writers and extremely talented actors make each character so human, it's easy to forget this story is told in a different century!
The entire cast seem to be the best in the field, especially the young men and women. The Lee Bang Won character, played by Yoo An-in, has been absolutely astounding to watch. I've never seen such a young actor bring so much talent to a role. His scenes are some of the most compelling I've ever watched, in any movie or television show. All of the actors are superb in this series.
If you've ever been curious about shows from another part of the world, I highly recommend you watch this show. It's a work of art in every way.

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!
it's one of the best , the writing the actors , the director , the scenario and every single thing about this drama is the TOP , I have watched almost all of the Korean historical shows but this one is You Must See , it's about the people who change the continuation rule of Korea history .. the story is about a true and real people you can find them in the pages of the history and dates I think people who want to see an interesting , deep story with an slight action and thriller ... this is yours , it's not about comedy or good looking people or love .. it's about people have aims and they write a new history ... it's magical , ethical , heroical and extremely typical .. I'm just so amazed about how good it was , I've got drifted away with this show .. I hope there will be more drama like it .. six flying dragons is fascinating ..
