Oni
Iraq
Another historic masterpiece?
wonderful ending and an amazing conclusion
For the most wonderful, strongest, most luxurious, and most enjoyable drama so far in 2024
No wonder, as it is the first K-Drama to rely on the latest Hollywood special effects (Virtual Production VP). It is the second work through which the production aims to restore the glories and style of ancient historical series, thus becoming the 34th epic drama of KBS, which was developed to celebrate the half-century anniversary of the channel’s broadcast system.
On the other hand, the Goryeo-Khitan War is a historical epic that aims to create pride and make known the origin of Korea by honoring the exceptional historical achievements during the war of the Goryeo-Khitan kingdoms, whose historical background goes back from the years 1009 to 1020. It is not necessary to be of Korean origin in order to live Their events or be inspired and feel their feelings of pride.
It is the story of many heroes, including the young Emperor Hyeonjong who unified his kingdom under the tolerant leadership of his political mentor, Gang Gam-chan, who led a 26-year war against the Liao dynasty. They succeeded in bringing victory and prosperity to the Goryeo Kingdom and peace in the East Asian region.
⚔️ All this in the plot of a series that tells stories rich in events and close to historical facts throughout 32 episodes, driven by the characters that the writer built, drawn, distributed and developed in a wonderful way. It sometimes reminds us of the series The King of Legend 2010, commonly known as (Clash of Kings).
In addition, it is characterized by deep dialogues with intelligent responses through which the characters’ points of view are explored, whether in their conflict or discussion. With good ossets and perfect music, it worked to enhance the atmosphere
The cast, full of familiar faces from older productions, also brought value to this show especially with the performances of young actor Kim Dong-jun and veteran Choi Soo-jong.
Summary of the statement...
This series captivated me for 4 months of showing since November 2023, so it will leave a big void in my routine on Saturdays and Sundays, especially since it gave me a distinct cinematic experience.
For me, the series “The Goryeo-Khitan War” is more than just a historical drama, it is a ticket back to that time, and it will certainly succeed, even if only slightly, in bringing you back to the days and years in which the K-drama was characterized by epic historical works in the old school style.
On the other hand, it contains all the basic elements that make sageuk wonderful in a modern way, taking advantage of the latest technologies.
It is an inspiring story driven by characters and balanced with constructive dialogues in the plot of a series rich in exciting and poignant events, with music that helps convey feelings and immerse oneself in the atmosphere.
True, it may be intended for history buffs or fans of serious historical drama, but I think even if you are not one of them, this is definitely a drama worth watching.
