Every Single Person Deserve A Justice

A historical, political kingdom, and revenge drama. Following a woman who has burried alive by her own husband. The one who she loved the most, turns out to be the one who she hate the most. She wakes up and start her revenge and seek for her own justice towards the unpleasant tragedy.

It's not only a tale of revenge and justice. Also, a tale of redemption and forgiving. Layering conflict that one by one got ripped. The political intrigue that emosional. Also, the brutal strategy that keep intense.

I love the way they highlighting the woman empowerment topic. Also, how the male lead standing up beside her and supporting her, not even interrupt every step she tooks. Big proud, that he provide everything she needs. Stay calm, but loyal. And the way they portraying a relationship, start from partner of crime, turns to be partner of life. From the pawn treatment, to a loving treatment. Oh that's my roman empire.

The performance of both heroine were good. The dynamic chemistry that they served was utterly solid. The male lead that cold yet charismatic, and the female lead that looks like cinnamoroll yet deadly. Kudos to every actor in here. Their acting were totalistic. Especially the main actress, her sadness, anger, ambition, also her pain were perfectly depict by her mimic. So detail yet painfull to watch. Like I could understand her feeling whenever she cried.

Not forget to mention the screenplay. I BEYOND LOVE IT. Layering conflict that packed and neat. Yes, it's a sluggish, slowest slow burn. But, never get bored because I love the way they serving 1001 strategies of revenge. Typically a story where heroine guaranteed win, but with that tons of cost, of course. Not heavy on plot armor tho, for me at least. Oh, it's mostly about political kingdom that much intrigue and confusing.

The romance that mature and barely do skinship, but only by a hand touch, I could scream out loud. Yes, slight romance that keep enhance the story. Expecting a good romance with much skinship? Then, it's not for you.

I love how they serving different kind of emotion in each episode. An episode that fulfill with laugh, tears, and proud. Bittersweet story that seizing me in. They served beauty in pain. So pretty that I could crying for their destiny.

The cinematography that beauty. Some scene looks colorful, and the other hand looks so painfully depth-dark. The camera movement was so cool, and angle placement were aestheticly fit. But, minus point for the CGI, some part looks rough. Not a bad tho. And then, the soundtrack, so good and mellow. I love that the BGM has enhance the story itself, perfectly fit for the scene.

All in all, If you craving for revenge and historical drama, I highly recommending this drama. Even the pace is slow burn, but the story itself will never be bored to enjoy. The way every revenge and every redemption have perfectly portray. One of the good historical drama I've ever watched. Just give it a try!
