The Three Musketeers Episode 1

Amusing

I am a big fan of the original materialThe Three Musketeers I've read the original BOOK, I grew up watching the anime version and different movies and TV movies. I just love the era, setting and the characters. Now that this is out of the way, I gotta say I was impressed.

While this korean version owned the story with its own setting and characters, it still retained its original feel of it that I always feel when watching any version of this story. Honestly I was as amused my it as Lee Jin Wook's character Prince So Hyeon was.

Also even Jung Yong Hwa who is lacking in many ways, can be fine here, since his character is more straighforward. Its always been the way "D'Artagnan's" character has been portratyed as the country bumpkin and it works, although in the original BOOK I always found him less innocent (and gaining Miladi's wrath lol I always found him silly tbh).

My favourite in the book and what looks to be my favourite here is Prince So Hyeon. I just love how he handled things here and I mostly love his interaction with Heo Seung Po (Yang Dong Geun). I feel that his character includes both Porthos and Aramis. I feel that Jung Hae In is just too young for the role and his character Ahn Min SEO too serious.

This episode is more about introducing us the characters and did so successfully since I already like them and they're already bringing me onbord ;) Can't wait till Jo Mi Ryeong's character shows up :D
