I finally had the chance to watch this and I absolutely loved it! The acting from everyone was incredible, especially Park Jihoon! Jihoon's acting will never fail to amaze me. I liked the story a lot as well. It was a great story with such a tragic ending and the fact it's based off a real event makes it even more devastating. I loved seeing King Dan Jong bond with the village folk. You can tell he was a very loved ruler by how many people were willing to die for him and to fight by his side. He was very kind as well. I loved his friendship with Mae Hwa a lot. His letter to her in the end made me cry. The ending in general made me cry quite a bit, which I wasn't expecting at all. My only complaint was I wish they explained some characters titles a bit better (Some of the people of the palace for example), other than that I had no complaints. The costuming and sets were beautiful as well. This movie was really fantastic, and I can see why it was doing so well in numbers in Korea!
