People can never be pleased. If a character dies, people are pissed. If no character dies, people say plot armor. Lol. This series is about bandits fighting for their people. Romance isn't even the main focus. But I do appreciate how it made things a little more interesting, especially after the ending. It also shows what people had to give up in order to fight.

Many people say that the ending was bad, but I think it got me even more hooked because it complicated things even more, especially with Hee Shin's ending. I think this drama is definitely not as bad as many have claimed. The fight sequences might not have been THE best, but they were pretty solid and thrilling. The sequences were also captured very well in terms of angle and editing. Not some blurry fighting actions. Plot was straightforward, but I like it coz it was already action-packed. Making it more complicated would have been bad because they only had 9 episodes to play with. The characters played a huge part in making the story engaging too.

This drama was definitely worth a watch and worth the wait. But it's probably not everyone's cup of tea with it's gore and also the lack of romance. If those two aren't really your concern, I'd say this would be quite a fun watch.

You should really watch Kim Nam Gil in The Fiery Priest too! He did lots of action there and his character was freaking cute. Loved his chemistry with Lee Hanee as well.

I suspected if they were siblings too. But I don't think they are. Remember Yoon said his mother died when she gave birth to his younger sibling. But Nyeon's parents were both still alive until they were executed. So I think Nyeon was just empathizing with Yoon because they faced the same fate. But personally, I find that they give off siblings vibe than romantic vibes. I also prefer it that way, actually.

And yea, the general was Chung-soo. Not sure if Nyeon has figured it out or not though.

Agree!!! Loved their scenes together. They gave off chaotic siblings vibe. I hope this series gets renewed for a second season too.

Omg, the visuals!!!! I'm an even bigger fan of Da Hee than I am of Soo Hyuk, so this is even more amazing! And gosh, Arin is so pretty too. Excited to see her again after Alchemy of Souls. Finally, Soohyuk being the first main lead!

Omg, doggies and Cha Eun Woo? That's a yes for me. Lol. I hope we get to see lots of cute doggies!!!!

Omg, didn't know BIBI was gonna be in this. When I watched some of her MVs, I always wondered if she was gonna get scripts sending her way because she was good. I was already super excited for this series, and now knowing that BIBI is gonna be in it too, that makes me look forward to it even more.

I have yet to watch that movie, but I'm sure he did great. I feel bad for typecasting him, but because he started with a noona-dongsaeng role and did so well, and he's got such a mature demeanor when he acts, I find it weird seeing him pair up with someone close to his age or younger. I always find that his acting shines even more when he's paired up with much older actors.

People are so quick to judge. Lee Jae Wook was only 21yo when he did 'Search WWW' with Lee Da-Hee, who was then 34yo. Yet he did a good job portraying someone in mid-twenties, while Da Hee's role was a 30yo. And people LOVED that couple. And before that, LJW only played one role, which was Mark in 'Memories of Alhambra'. Mark, everyone. That scary violent college kid MARK with punky hair and earrings.

I'm sure if Moon Sang Min does a lot of homework on his role, he'll be able to appear a few years older with the help of the styling team. Big fan of Shin Hyun Bin here, so I know she can easily portray someone in her early to mid 30s. Their age gap in the drama might just be 10 years max. Not that I mind it even if it's 14 years apart in the drama as long as the acting, directing, and the script are good.

Really looking forward to this. So excited for end of September! Already have 2 dramas I'm anticipating including this!

Been waiting forever. So excited!

Same

True. I feel that he needs one that stands out and breaks away from his previous roles so that it catches attention and people get to see him in a different light. I guess that's when more diverse (and good!) scripts will be offered to him.

I hope he's the first male lead and not second male lead coz it keeps happening to him. :((( He really deserves a first male lead role with a good script.

Thanks for the info! I thought it was probably gonna be melo or something. Didn't expect it to be such a weighty one. But I feel that LSH tends to like taking on rather serious roles. Hope this one really gets to let his acting shine even more.

Someone please hack Tencent's cloud drive or wherever this is stored to drop the entire drama online.

This reminds me of Yeobeen's character in Melodramatic where she was struggling to come to terms with her husband's passing. T^T I feel like watching the original too but if I watch that first and then watch this, I know it's definitely going be too overwhelming for me. :(((

From the cast to the director and writer, I'm already onboard.
