Lovely drama, I liked four main characters, all lovely, and background, costumes. Lost some interest after about ep. 15 for reasons those who watched will guess, but personal to me. Not totally in love with the ending. May re-watch as plot not so important. Cannot find these actors in any other drama that sounds interesting to me.
Episode 1 violent intro but this grew into something of an epic. Wonderful martial arts - historical with plenty of memorable characters. I found Sword Saint more convincing as a martial arts master. The contrast of light-dark with Heuksa Chorong was well done. Excellent political intrigue woven throughout with Hong Dae Joo a memorable villain and built up the tension to spectacular finish. I am not a great lover of "epilogues" but it was well written, allowing for the fact that they are always somewhat predictable. It's a mighty effort to make and a mighty effort to watch, so I am sure I will come back to it again in time but not for a while. It's a commitment to watch but one I always looked forward to daily. The only drawback for me was that the music got very repetitious and intrusive sometimes. Otherwise brilliant all round. 11/10
Same storyline as Tunnel. Do not see much comedy in this, except if police beating each other and suspects up seems funny. Not sure how realistic the '80s settings are - seem very primitive, more like '50s movies I have seen. All these detective type dramas become addictive as you get to know characters and want to know how storyline develops. Is sci-fi element involving a parallel universe? For me too much beating up but upside is cops beat themselves also~~ ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ ~~ This is one that improves as it goes on, also where I may also have some sympathy for the killer (the guy who was in School 2013). It was gripping and "upbeat" ending (I think?), but I think still very "in your face" (LOL) violence, but the friendship of the group was maybe the best feature. I recommend also Tunnel.
Beautiful drama, costumes, ost so far, I'm glad I watched it. The "cross dressing" dramas would be far better with a real man disguised as a woman disguising "herself" as a man. Then all these supposed women-disguised-as men ~~ who will never fool anyone with at least the intelligence of a hen ~~ would be infinitely more credible. This has started off so nice with gay vibes with at least 3 characters, why spoil it for them by revealing the truth? ~~ ヾ (✿＞﹏ ⊙〃)ノ ~~ Just finished watching after putting it off and off because I did not want it to end, For me everything about this drama was peak, including the ending. It is one of very few I could watch again in due course. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
