A tale involving an Imugi who failed to ascend as a dragon, a young gifted Shaman who fought against the fate bestowed on her... and a deep grudge that engulfed the royal bloodline, all of these were tied together in a haunting, supernatural adventure. For once, the imugi was not the main villain in the story here, but might as well be part of the good people. In that sense, this drama already set itself apart from the other stories involving the imugi.
This drama was Sungjae's first Sageuk... and a dual role, at that. As much as Sungjae was no stranger to taking a role inside a supernatural drama, this was the first time he played a character set in the Joseon period... and he did it quite well. You can really tell apart whenever he was playing Yoon Gap and wjen he was Gangcheori.
Bona did a great job portraying Yeori, which was quite unlike her role as a princess in Joseon Attorney. It was quite an interesting take, to have a character be gifted with supernatural ability but ended up staying away from that fate due to an incident in the past, while inevitably having to accept it in the end.
I've watched Kim Jihoon in other dramas before, most recently being Jang Bori, and I never thought I'd be able to see him taking a role as a Joseon King. Until now, that is. And I gotta say that I'm overjoyed seeing him being a king.
Overall the drama was pretty enjoyable. While the plot may move too fast or too slow in some parts, it still manage to hold itself together.
