Review: A masterpiece in every aspect, with stunning cinematography and soundtrack, to spectacular performances and a captivating story that resonates deeply within the viewers. While at times the story felt a bit slow-burn, the rich historical backdrop and the well-developed characters kept me engaged. But as the ending approached and I could predict the outcome, I became overly emotional in every episode, making it harder to finish. Nonetheless, it was an amazing journey that left deep impression in me.

Review: This drama transcended all my expectations with its compelling plot and characters. I finished both seasons and in my opinion, the first season was far superior, if they removed a few of the fillers and stretched to 24 episodes, the transition from Jung So Min to Go Youn Jung could have been done in a way better way. Because of this, since there was no proper transition, it was hard for me to enjoy Go Youn Jung performance as much as I enjoyed Jung So Min performance . Regardless of that, the overall story was still amazing and every actor involved did a fantastic job.

Review: I was captivated by a historical narrative set against the Goryeo-Joseon transition and the unbreakable friendships between Seo Hwi and Nam Sun Ho. But what will forever in my memory is Jang Hyuk's portrayal of Bang Won's cunning personality, his scheming to overtake the throne and desire to get his father's recognition. Even his skills with the lavish fan added an extra layer to my fascination with this character. Overall this drama was filled with stellar performances and an exceptional direction, especially in single-take fight scenes. The only flaw, the miraculous healings.
