Jang Young Shil (2016)

The story line was outstanding, it almost kept true to the actual historical figure "Jang Yeong-sil", except for a few parts. This drama also follows the life of one of the greatest Monarchs of Korea, King Sejong (created Hangul, the Korean alphabet) fourth monarch of the Joseon period. The character development from the beginning to the ending was excellent. All the actors were outstanding.
According to actual history, Jang Yeong-sil was imprisoned for a long time. However, historians do not know how or when he died. Nothing about his life was recorded after he was thrown out from the palace. With this being said, out of all the Monarchs of Korea "Sejong the Great (Unitary dynastic period: Joseon 1392 – 1897), is my favorite. This is one of the best historical drama I have seen. It provides the viewer with actual Korean history and is very educational. I strongly recommend this drama to all viewers and those who are interested in Korean history as well.

I started watching this drama because of the cast mainly and i got to tell you it didn't disappoint me at all.

So let me start with the story, well the plot in this drama is one of kind because instead of adding action elements to the political part this drama has added a scientific element and i have to be careful when i say scientific element because in big part of the drama it's the main thing.

while the scientific part was brilliant and you can see how much effort the directors and the producers put in it the political part was kind of flat, even boring sometimes but honestly this didn't bother me that much, i still enjoyed the story and the plot plus the comedy moments in the drama were really funny ^_^.


How about the casting, well as i said before i watched the drama because of the cast and honestly all the actors were great starting with song il gook, kim sang kyung, lee ji hoon and my personal favorite kim do hyun who did a great job as lee chun and made me really like this character a lot.


Going to the music i have to say it was really nothing special, there's no Osts in this drama so don't expect much anyways there were some tracks which i really liked when they were played and overall the musical arrangement was good.


In the end i want to say that i really liked this drama, it wasn't perfect or epic but it was really fun and amusing to watch.
