If this series had a poster it would be say something like "The story of one of Korea's greatest hereoes" But just as applicable would be a line spoken by one of the main characters, which went something like "Nobody remains a friend forever, and nobody remains an enemy forever. I'll divide my review into sections. Performances. I'll give names of characters, as I'm not very good at remembering actors names. It's too tedious to keep looking them up. Best performance. Li Geom. (blood son of chulin and Daejo young Usually I am more impressed by the older actors in korean costume/historical dramas. But this guy was excellent. I want to see him in more stuff. The last king of goguryeo, whose name I can't remember. Wu Zeitan. dae joyung's father Those for me were the best performances. Best character and look at me performance xui rengui Funniest moment. When Xui Rengui tells hongpei to take his purple cloak off referring to it as a curtain. Most poignant scene. The death of Geomlan. The dialogue. There are at least two types of dialogue here. Professional screen dialogue, and dialogue that sounds like it was written for a school play, or that youngsters might say when playing war games.

The battle/fight/violence scenes. Was all that jumping up and down really how they faught in those days. As episodes wore on, scenes became more graphic. At first that impressed me, but later I became unconvinced by how unlikely looking the blood was. It looked just too much like strawberry jam. Scenes that kind of grew tiresome. "Give me death your majesty" I was hoping that for once someone would actually get what they were supposedly looking for. Daejoung (mostly) in disguise and peeering up from under his big hat. Characters i found a bit tiresome, but I suppose I got used to them. Heuk sodol, and the guy with the weird voice. A fascinating story, that kept me enthrallled.

Being a historical film, the invasion of a country and how that country was reclaimed with difficulties, the struggle to protect the people, the strategies of great empires, statehood, everything is in this film. Supports him and sacrifices himself .. it is the best effective and historical film I have seen, I recommend it to everyone.

The drama was infested with cheap drama/melodrama tactics to keep it alive for too goddamn very long 134 episodes because otherwise it can't reach that milestone. Which turned it into a mind melting irritating watch. These details were highly unlikely to be historically accurate. Looking back at it I don't recall a lot of big events/moments happened during these 134 episodes, it feels empty for what it tried to achieve. The bothersome experience doesn't stop here but extends to its production also as if that wasn't enough. About +80% of the entire filmed footage were extreme face close ups. You're most certainly guaranteed to feel nauseous being subject to that for too long. My guess is that it was done purposefully to hide the background and cut on the budget. Cheaper to film and easier/faster to edit. The more I watch Choi Soo Jong the more I realize he isn't suitable for historical dramas.
