Yaksha (2010)

I really enjoyed this (all except for the first 15 or so minutes of the first episode - there was nudity & a sex scene and I don't like that in shows I watch) - The fighting was great, the only thing I didn't really like was it was a bit gory (especially when they slow-motioned the blood) but If you liked 'Ninja Assassin' then you shouldn't be bothered by this too much. I was hoping for a different ending - but I'm ok with this one and honestly it was probably more realistic this way. If you're like me you'll be captivated by the first episode - I was so drawn into Baek Rok's story! I enjoyed the fight scene, the brotherhood of the 'Black cloud swords' especially with Mu Myung ^^ and the romance story between Baek Rok and Jung Yeon <3

I LOVED Baek Rok (JDH) ^_^ <3 He was so loyal - even when it hurt him, he fought to protect the people he loved and was bound by a promise made to the king. I liked Jung Yeon - but she somehow got stupid towards the end which disappointed me, I loved her relationship with Baek Rok. I hated Baek Kyul - I don't care if his brother and JY still liked him - in my eyes he was an ASS big time!

Music: I loved the ost!!! 2 songs in particular ^_^ pt.1 & pt. 2 of the ost

I might re-watch this sometime in the future - if only to see the ruggedly handsome Jo Dong Hyeok again <3 He truly was a wild man in this drama!

"All that I protected up 'till now by my sword was in vain. I finally want to use it for what I really want to protect. (Jung Yeon) You have to live, so that I, who's lived like a demon, killing all my life...would have some meaning to my life as a man." - Baek Rok

Well , because I found other review, unfair , I decided to write a new review after watching this drama . I have not regretted at all to give it try!

Story: reminded me of " slave hunters \ Chuno " to some extent. I loved it, and engaged in events without any boredom , beside the young king who does not know how to distract things the nation , and his minister , who is trying to be commanding and forbidding , the minister and his followers who believe in Confucianism , and we can look at it like communism and democracy at this moment - Modern and Contemporary History -

Characters & Acting : Characters also done a good job , I liked the fight scenes that is different from the other fight scenes in historical drama, because it was HD\3D , this seemed to be realistic and to be honest I liked the fight scenes so much unlike the fight scenes I've seen in most previous historical series , which puts the viewer in the form of an asshole for being fake!

The OST: also reminded me of song from " slave hunters \ Chuno ", it is somewhat similar to the song of the end of this drama!!!


If you like historical drama, then you should give this one a try!!!!
