Brutal honor. Human greed.
Viewing a historical drama from the bottom up offers a fresh perspective from the typical top down hierarchical stories of royalty. every nation is built upon the hard-working backs of the poor and middle class. this story shares the notion that one person’s honor can make a difference in conquering human greed.Rowoon brings this tortured character to life and embraces the Korean spirit to its fullest.
And his gruff masculinity is as enticing as his eye-candy leading roles have been. You can almost taste, I mean smell, the sweat pouring off of him. Hope to see him in more roles as challenging as this one.

Xiumin of “Paper Cuts” song saves the show.
As a new K-Pop fan I was excited to learn that the male lead Xiumin is also lead vocal on one of my favorite songs — “Paper Cuts” with South Korean group EXO. In my opinion, his gentle nature saves the show.The time travel aspect of the story is weaker than I’d hoped with the only consistent link to the past being his reincarnated adversaries and Joseon Era costumes. Xiumin alone made the storyline as believable as it could be. He definitely deserves a less bitchy, self-destructive FL.
