What a drama!!!
From mystery to anticipation to angst — DAMN, this was INSANE.
The acting?
Jo Bo Ah — I didn’t really vibe with her in past dramas, but wow, she absolutely slayed here. Her performance was next level.
And Lee Jae Wook? As always, serving looks. Honestly, I feel like he shines the most in historical action dramas.
Story-wise?
Surprisingly solid. The whole family's journey to find the long-lost brother had me hooked — and then boom, a wild plot twist connected to the king??? Chef’s kiss.
OST & cinematography:
GORGEOUS. Just look at it. The visuals and soundtrack? Pretty damn good! The action scenes were breathtaking. No words. Just wow.
Noteworthy episodes:
Ep 9: THAT ENDING??? When Hongrang's shirt got cut and the drawing was on his back — the same one the king’s been obsessively searching for?! MIND. BLOWN.
Ep 10: The forehead touch and the “I love you” moment… MY HEART.
Ep 11: The OST kicked in at the end and it HURT. So good it was painful
Best OST pick:
🎵 Kwon Jin Ah – Yoamjae
