Even though this show only has 12 episodes, each episode is easily an hour 5 mins. While I appreciate the show being shorter than usual, thus forcing the writer to be concise and succinct, when you add up the excess 5 minutes from each episode, it adds up to another episode. Just a thought.
Surprisingly, I’ve actually never watched Lee Jin Wook in a drama, only in a movie. Besides just being generally handsome, he did a decent job. I’ve watched Seo Hyun Jin in Let’s Eat 2 and she’s one of the reasons I decided to watch this drama. She is really good in this show too.
Yonghwa doesn’t have a great reputation as an actor. Although it was really obvious in this show that he’s still a newbie at acting, he definitely showed a marked improvement. I’ve never watched Yang Dong Geun act, only in Return of Superman, and I was greatly entertained by his character in this show. Park Hae-jin is good but really he doesn’t have that much material to work with.
I’m not that familiar with Korean history but from what recaps I’ve read, it seems like the writers did a good job. It is a really stylish sageuk. The filming style is sleek and impressive.
Overall, the show is an entertaining saguek.

The Three Bores
The drama made my skin crawl from this godawful screenplay. Yikes. No wonder why it received poor broadcast ratings, honestly well deserved. It was infested with problems too glaring to ignore. In addition, a general distasteful feeling was always roaming around. None of the characters and their interactions felt natural. The romance was too embarrassing to even call it a romance. The sound design was poor in general, from the OST to the mixing and dialogue. Although it was 12 episodes, the story barely moved; not much was accomplished.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
