I'm thinking about to watch this drama, but I'm not sure yet.Can someone please let me know, what this drama is…
It's a masterpiece but not for someone who doesn't like romance as a sub plot and the overarching theme of war. Don't watch if you can't handle mature subjects or don't like historical drama in general. It's not rlly about romance but the love story is great
This drama is a masterpiece! It’s exhilarating so much so that it kept me engaged and took me on such a profound emotional journey.
Firstly, it is the first historical K-drama in recent years that remains true to its era, particularly regarding the female lead. Recent historical K-dramas showcase a female lead who is too progressive for her time. We must acknowledge that, during the Joseon Dynasty, women were instructed to be gentle and soft-spoken. They distinguished themselves in society through their intelligence and values. However, recent historical K-dramas, which I do not criticize for featuring a strong female lead, often present them as unconventional, vocal, and boisterous. They typically appear as some unique, quirky, one-of-a-kind girl who is always smarter, stronger, and more skilled than everyone else, which can seem overbearing and irritating.
In contrast, this K-drama presents the female lead in a skillful and authentic manner. She is resourceful and intelligent, caring for her loved ones not in a forceful and aggressive way but in a realistic and nurturing manner. She manages to endure and prosper while staying true to the constraints placed on women during those times, making me want to support her even more because she earned everything she possesses through hard work and determination. I appreciate her character growth from a spoiled wealthy girl to a courageous and resilient woman and leader. The drama illustrates her gradual transformation as she reaches this point.
I am equally fond of the male lead. He does not initially present himself as a hero. He is modest, patient, and strategic. He openly expresses his feelings for the female lead. He is humorous and empathetic. He does not seek recognition for his actions but does what is right out of principle. I also thoroughly enjoy his action scenes. He moves swiftly, and the cinematography captures perfect angles, moving alongside him as if the audience is part of the action, which is remarkable.
Lastly, the storyline is completely engrossing. It portrays the political dimensions of war. I appreciate that it is not simply about charging into battle and miraculously achieving victory. It illustrates how characters utilized their wits and intelligence to survive. It also depicts how ordinary individuals struggled for their existence.
Overall, this is the best historical K-drama since Dong Yi and Empress Ki, dare I say, overshadowing dramas like Love in the Moonlight and The King’s Affection.
Absolute BS should I say? Are people delusional or what? Calling this romance or masterpiece? This one's sheer…
Spoiler tag?????? You are taking up space in the comment section and trying to influence new watchers opinions. Be respectful. Your display shows how you don’t value anyone’s opinion but your own and you’re very gross using foul language and throwing a tantrum in the comments
This drama started off so good, it made me cry and laugh a lot in the beginning, but the last 2 or three episodes…
You seem like you went though the wringer this drama is not for the faint of heart. I think it did its job with frustrating you though. Lololol 2nd part is even harder to handle so good luck ðŸ˜
