After watching this drama, I highly recommend that you check out Great King Sejong 2008 drama after finishing this drama (because it is a continuation of the story) if you haven't.

I would recommend this drama for those who are into political thriller, mature issues and excellent dialogue.

Simply a great story and suspenseful drama exceedingly well told through the characters. I like the way the drama doesn't have to treat the audience like a child where everything has to be explained (example you seen a lot is that character A will ask character B a question and the character B will explain to character A which is essentially to us the audience), just a few lines of dialog or through the action from the character I know and understand what's going on. I would have given the story 10 out 10 but episodes 41 - 48 is where I find the drama dragged and slowed down.

Seeing Jo Jae Hyeon as the protagonist kinda threw me off at first few episodes, some of drama and movie I have seen him in, he is always the scary bad guy. Looking at the casting list, it is an accomplished ensemble piece, thick with top notch acting performances. The weight of the subject matter combined with the intensity of the acting here will be more than enough for some people.
