Phenomenal story telling in a high quality drama.
Just to promote this wonderful drama I write this review now after 5 episodes.
This drama resembles a truly good book. It takes the time to tell a story—a narrative centered on fascinating protagonists, interwoven with a portrayal of the historical context. Yet much remains unspoken; instead, it is conveyed to the viewer through the everyday occurrences that befall the characters. And although the plot is set in a historical era, certain cunning tactics—such as the uncle’s maneuvering to secure his niece a spot in a coveted training course that is offered only once every ten years—bring the narrative remarkably close to our own time. These are people fighting, in their own unique ways, for their survival and for their place in society—a struggle we can all understand: everywhere, and even today.
