Review

This has to be one of my most favourite historical dramas. I love everything Woo Do-Hwan acts in but this one especially.

As I always mention, historical dramas always include a political plot. I believe the story line and execution of this drama beautifully portrays the relationships between friends, enemies and the complexity of family who exist in a political setting.

The betrayal, the gore, the yearning, I wish I could go back and watch it again for the first time.
