Brilliant & Indeed Captivating

I'm kind of shocked by some of these poorly added reviews, I found this series to be just brilliant in every way. The first three episodes it was kind of up in the air as to the direction the major characters would be going, but once episode four played out with the major events that transpired, the drama took off with full steam.
Jung Suk was fantastic as always. I was expecting him to be great in this role and he definitely did not disappoint. Sae Kyeong was equally as brilliant, as was Shin Young with his role as Myeong Ha. I must admit, I had a strong disliking to that character early on, but he turned out to be a great asset to the series as well as to the King. The supporting cast was very strong with talent, giving us several evil characters you counted the minutes for them to get their retribution, which they all eventually did!!
I guess the only negative I had a difficult time with was everyone not recognizing Mong U as a woman simply because she was dressed like a man ... but you simply have to get past that or else the series does not work for you.
All in all a great and extremely enjoyable series!!!!
