A story of slavery and liberation in the Joseon era
finished 9/10 💫
Pros: For me, Rowoon's best drama to date... It showed a side of himself he'd wanted to portray for a long time, perhaps criticized for eliminating his physical beauty to make way for a character destroyed by life and slavery, I thank the director for taking the initiative to portray it in a different way than we were used to 👏
Rowoon's acting was phenomenal, he worked hard on his action scenes and on showing Siyul's pain and suffering 🔥
The scenery and costumes were very appropriate for the period. I liked the setting and the soundtrack.
The cast also did an incredible job. They all gave super outstanding performances 👏
Cons:
I think The Murky Stream fell into the Disney curse of cutting chapters to the point that the story felt rushed and open endings that let your imagination run wild
Based on the historical arguments of the time, I want to assume that A war began that would mark the change of Joseon as a nation and each character had to find ways to survive.
Even though I know it's realistic, I can't help but feel a bittersweet taste, in my heart I wanted a more appropriate ending 😭
Aside from that, I think it's a great drama with a fundamental historical message and I recommend it 100%.
