Title My Dearest
The first three episodes attest to one of the best historical dramas. Screenwriter Hwang Jin Young, with a slightly sarcastic undertone and the brilliant Namkoong Min as Lee Jang Hyun, a worldly and experienced man, does a masterful job of shaking up the provincial village world of arranged marriages between pubescent and loudmouthed young adults who are still green behind the ears in all worldly matters, while at the same time providing better chances for the villagers to survive, with romance and war excitingly woven in. In addition, the actors are really at the top of their game.
