Right to the action!

I loved this episode, I thought it would be slow, showing us the characters and stuff but we get into the history inmediately. I totally love that age, that cross between the common historical dramas and the present. Love everything except the horrible japaneses. Want to see more and more. Ah, it's so funny to watch the lead actor screaming "GAKSITAAAL".

"where is the first episode?"

First drama I've seen so far where the story begins really fast. The characters are introduced in mostly cool action scenes in the past and present. I'm was really amazed. Looking forward to the following episodes. I hope the story doesn't lose it's exciting parts.

Too much Hype

I have heard so much praise of this drama that im a little apprehensive watching it. Anyway the first episode wasnt bad, a little too much action and fighting scenes. The story seems to have a nice start but we will have to wait and see. Usually a drama gives its feel after 3 episodes.
I love all the actors in it so I guess I will be a bit partial, I loved the lead in both Baker king as well as my fav Ojak bros.
Will be back later after I watch some more episodes.

Exciting episode

Wow this has got me interested! I found myself skipping some unnecessary scenes like the dancing in the club and circus. This drama is going to be full of action and intense scenes. can't wait to see more of this :) The slow motion parts were not needed though. lol

Aw yeeeeaah!

Right on! Awesome first episode :D

I honestly thought the first episode was going to be boring, because it had to introduce all the new characters and the story.. but Bridal Mask did it in a clever way. From the first seconds the episode began I knew that this was going to be good! The action parts were amazing - and this is coming from a romcom junkie who barely watches action series. Joo Woon is AMAZING!!

Can't wait for ep 2 :DD

First episode why did u got me addicted!!

I don't usually concentrate a lot on the first ep, it's just an ep that will introduce the characters and the general story, even though i was a little hesitating on the fact that it's not in the current time but after seing the first ep, that doesn't really matter now. This ep opened up weeks of torture in order to finish the drama. I don't want to have high expectations but let me say this : this drama is blowing *Praying* that the ending won't be bad!!
Side notes:
1)I have a hateful hero, i have a hateful hero Lalala, that's what i'm going to call Lee Kang To from now on, he have the kind of personnality that i really love!! Strong one, and really hateful that i fell for his role completly.

2)Lee Kang San is the bride mask so don't think about it much, ahaa, i just knew that don't ask me how!!

3)The person who gave Mok Dan that knife is most likely my hateful hero Lee Kang To so don't think about it too much either.

3)I love my hateful hero's friend: Shunji, i'm really going to have fun seing him all around!!

4)Kimura Taro and his son are going to give us a hard time in this drama so just wait and see.

Totally fell for the first ep!! Now let's move to the 2nd!!

Exciting and Engaging

I could not ask for more from a first episode that got me hooked right away. The story is so engaging already. I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Joo Won is doing a great job but his character is kind of scary lol.

OK HOLD UP!

This is pretty good. But I just have to say: NO WAY IS THAT THE BRIDAL MASK AT THE END! Now I will tell u y. 1. The Bridal Mask does not use a gun. He uses his flute thing, or like a sword but not guns (it's like his thing). 2. No way in hell is he going to pull a gun on his brother! Yeah I said it! The Bridal Mask is none other the Lee Kang San. I can't stand his hair, but I understand y they did that to it. Oh & 3. The hair on the guy @ the end was parted on the wrong side. (Yeah totally caught that out the corner of my eye b/c he is in the background).

K, now that I am done w/ that. I am liking this. It has this amazing feeling of Old Korea and a modern Korea. It's like watching a historical drama, but it is still like slightly up to date. Ok well not rly but at least it's not like 100's of yrs old. I can almost see a cell phone popping out in some1's hand. Newayz, this is going to be good if it keeps up w/ the action & this amazing conspiracy story.

I know that Lee Kang To may be working for the Japanese government, but he is still going to show his loyalty to Korea by breaking open this case concerning these government officials, & his bro is going to help him. Just wait! I am calling it now! I want to see if I am right! I won't argue if I am wrong & it goes a diff way, but I rly think this is how it basically is going to be. Still going to enjoy it even if I turnout to be wrong!

fast paced

Wow...so this episode starts off with a bang and right into action. I love Joo Won, I have been hoping he would do something good since I watched Baker King. I like Shin Hyun Joon too. I was surprised that he was under that hair and playing this part after watching him in Cain and Abel. He really is versatile. I think this is going to be a great drama.

I?m stating for the record that the guy with a gun to Kang To?s head at the end is not the real Bridal Mask. Oh and I think the real Bridal Mask is Kang San. I wonder if I?m right. ;-)

really great start

They did a good job of building up the background and giving a direction to where the series is going. Really great acting. Really great costumes. Really great fight scenes!

At first I thought I couldn't into a series that was in this time period, but they did a good a job of making me like it. Its very interesting to see how they put it together.

From the way the series is going, it looks like the plot is going to be great!

Ok...

The first episode felt all over the place for me. It tried to be cool, but it just didn't feel right. Too many slow motion moments and unnecessary fighting scenes.

I'm probably going to get bashed for this.

Though, I will say that I like the set-up and the environment (like that of Capital Scandal). They look very pleasing to the eyes. The characters also seem interesting, but I don't know if they'll be able to hold my attention. I know that sounds like quite a contradiction, but what I'm trying to say is that the characters could be a total bomb leading up or they could be interesting. So far... I don't know which way they'll go.

Let's just say that it was a weird first episode.

edit: I re-watched the first episode and paid more attention to it. I must say I was most likely drunk on air or something because this episode was great. I don't know why I originally gave it a 5. I think I was too distracted by the cheese fest originally.

Great first episode

Apart from Kang San's barely believable handicapped person acting, I liked the first episode. My favorite parts were the actions sequences, even if I found it a little hard to believe that a bunch of men couldn't handle one tiny girl and that for some reason I found her a bit annoying. And the bromance between Kang To and his friend. I hope I find the girl less annoying as each episode passes because I really want to watch this drama. And once Kang To becomes Gaksital, it will probably get even better.

My favourite so far...

I totally fell for this drama after the first episode. I like this historical period since Capital Scandal and i was waiting for someone to bring it back again. I feel, that in some ways, it is very similiar to CS, but it surelly will be a little bit more brutal than CS.

The first episode came out really well. The characters were introduced very nicely. Also, the main character definately is not a good guy (for now, right :D). I love Joo Won like that ^_^

And the fighting scenes! There were like... AMAZING!
