********Skip 'Storyline' if you don't want to know the actual History of this drama before you start it *******But it would be better to read up on the history of each character as they appear - so you will be prepared for what is coming & so you can see how their take on the historical characters.*************
Storyline: We follow the drama as it takes us through the end of Seonjo's reign to when Gwanghae takes the throne, when Gwanhae get's usurped by Injo, the following rebellion, the 2nd Manchu war, Sohyun's demise & finally to Bongrim taking the throne. We also get a fictionalized version of Princess Jungmyung's disappearance & return after they had thought she had died.
I loved watching Cha Seung Won play/portray Gwanghae! <3 My favorite character by far in this drama!!! and he was GREATLY missed after episode 30 :'( I thought he was a really good ruler! Who ended up having a couple of bad subjects that lead to others misunderstanding him. His scenes were the best! I loved watching him give commands & do things in secret! When Kim Jae Won appeared and played Injo - I was pleased by his performance (his first time playing an actual bad guy lol) I pitied his character in this drama a lot - he was such a misguided/mislead king :( He wanted to be a good King but ended up being the opposite - an incompetent King who always listened to the wrong council. I also enjoyed Prince Sohyun's entrance into this drama ^^ He would have been a great ruler! He simply wanted to help his people & his country! I cried when he left us :'( I think he was on from ep.39-44 :) One thing: Seo Kang Joon & Lee Yeon Hee needed to improve their acting - I thought they did pretty much okay during the first 30-35 episodes - but after that they always had the same expressions, same reactions, and were rather poor actors (what happened?) *sigh* SKJ as Joo Won was really innocent and almost nerd-ish in his actions lol - It was cute ^^ I enjoyed his scenes with Gwanghae the most & there were a couple scenes of him with Jungmyung that I really liked as well ;) LYH played Jungmyung - (basically her character was the most fictitious one in the drama b/c the Princess according to Wikipedia stayed out of politics completely - whereas in this drama she is deeply involved in politics - enough to make several enemies - & there is this whole "prophecy" thing surrounding her - that I honestly found annoying in the earlier part of the drama (they had to have some basis for her "revenge" stuff) Her character when she grows up was good for the most part - I started to like her once she let go of her anger towards Gwanghae. She was strong & had a "stronger" part to play in the latter half).
Music: I liked the songs by Lena Park & Yesung the most - and I'd laugh whenever they played this instrumental ost that seriously sounded like they were saying "pyeha" lol - every time it came on - I said and again with the "pyeha" song lol
If I ever rewatched this it would probably only be Cha Seung Won's scenes as Gwanghae - they were the most impactful and meaningful parts to me :)
As someone else said on this page: "the first 30-35 episodes were addictive, after that it went up and down." I remained interested in the story line - up until King Injo dies - Injo lasted until episode 47? I think. After that I started to lose interest in the drama - and kind of pushed myself through the remaining few episodes lol... But, I don't regret watching - if you are interested in Korean History (even if you've read up on it on Wikipedia - like I did lol) and you'd like to see it "come alive" before your eyes (even if parts are fictionalized - like the Princess being involved in politics at all) then you should enjoy this drama overall - despite the poor acting of SKJ & LYH in the latter half...

A great drama however, if you don't mind watching one that has zero romance. I cried a few times while watching it and cried at the end too :'( It's more sad b/c you basically see history take place before your eyes :'(
This drama follows the writings left by Ryu Seong Ryung about the Imjin War that he titled 'Jing Bi Rok' - and we watch this unfold before our eyes, the invasion of the Japanese army, the fights in the court, the actions of King Seonjo as he tries to hold onto his power and suspects everyone. The righteous leading of Ryu Seong Ryung & his followers, the Bravery & Heart of Lee Soon Shin, the anger of Prince Gwanghae, the secret "peace talks" between Wae & Ming, the deception of the envoys, the patriotic spirits of the Righteous armies, the punishment brought out by Seonjo b/c of his fear of praise being taken away from him....the Japanese internal struggle with each other, and Toyotomi's crazy greed for power.
Ryu Seong Ryung is a character I admired throughout the entire drama & I respected anyone who followed him & believed in him. Lee Soon Shin a man who no matter who asked what of him would only do what he felt was right - he never brought harm to his men. He was upright, brave, unyielding and strong of heart - another man to be greatly admired - without him who knows what would have happened in history... I loved his friendship with Ryu Seong Ryung ^^ Both of these men are so brave - they go so well together - definitely the best of friends <3 While watching King Seonjo all I could do was shake my head at his childish, and petty ways.... and there were several other great characters throughout the drama :)
Actors I have to give a shoutout to:
~ Kim Sang Joon (Ryu Seong Ryung), Kim Suk Hoon (Lee Soon Shin), Kim Tae Woo (King Seonjo), Jung Tae Woo (Cheon Ri), Choi Chul Ho (Lee Hang Bok), Noh Young Hak (Prince Gwanghae), Lee Kwan Hoon (Shin Myeong Chul), Nam Sung Jin (Lee Deok Hyeong), & Jeon Kwang Jin (Song Hee Rib) ~
I for one would re-watch this drama if time allowed. If you like historicals - especially factual based historicals then you should enjoy this one as we watch history unfold.
The only OST I remember is just an instrumental that came on at the beginning and during the drama - nothing spectacular but it fit very well with this drama.

Cast: Jung Jae Young plays Jin Sang Pil a honest good hearted man who speaks out (and loudly too) when he doesn't like something or when he's trying to get his ideas across - at first he comes off as ignorant but you soon start being amazed with what he is saying - there were many times that my face looked like In Kyung's - I'd go from "oh brother, he's not listening again" to "wow, what he is saying is really true and it hits home!" LOL - a brilliant actor indeed! I applauded him and admired him - He is a character I respect!
Song Yoon Ah plays Choi In Kyung a person cast aside by her trusted sunbae & becoming an aide by pressure to Jin Sang Pil (a complete novice in the political field) She at first doesn't consider him as anything but a hick but slowly she opens up to him and admires him & completely supports him - the best "aide" you could ever ask for! First time I've ever loved a female character so much! She was absolutely awesome!!! A woman to be admired <3 I also looked forward to her facial expressions! They were PRICELESS!!! :P
Ok Taecyeon plays Bae/Kim Gyu Hwan the son of Bae Dal Soo (a friend & co-worker of Jin Sang Pil) - misunderstandings underway, he decides to work for Sang Pil in order to enact revenge - little does he know that he will come to admire this man himself ^_^ His role is very minor compared to the 2 leads but I really enjoyed him in this drama <3
I won't take time to go over any more characters/actors but they all played their roles exceptionally well :) They could either make you admire them or become disgusted by them.
OST: I only remember instrumentals but I loved them - especially one when something big was about to happen, it was fast tempo and I swear I've heard it before :D
I will definitely re-watch this drama when I find time. I didn't want this one to end while I was watching it! and I would recommend it to even those who aren't highly fond of political dramas!

Story: About a woman who runs a small restaurant right outside of the school her son used to attend, she feeds the kids and helps them in their personal lives, she meets the school's math teacher Jinwoo and they start becoming friends and eventually fall in love. His son is troubled. Then we have Jinwoo's parents and his brother and sister-in-laws stories which made me feel at times like I was watching 2 different dramas in one lol - I'd get invested in one story and forget the others existed. lol.
Cast: Jung Deok-In was a pretty bad-ass ahjumma - she reminded me a lot of Kim Hee Sun's character in Angry Mom, what with her fighting skills and such and her protective spirit of the school kids. She runs a restaurant and gets harsh treatment from her lousy excuse for a "husband", she's an orphan and only knows her spouses family until Jinwoo comes along and loves her in a beautiful sweet way <3 Jinwoo is the son of a chaebol who doesn't want the family business - he's the youngest and wants to be a teacher, he is also widowed and has 1 son that disses him all the time :'( Jinwoo also suffers from a secret that he has kept that involved his older brother. (He's my favorite character). Then we have Hongran who I absolutely loved! She was a bit stupid, rude, and made me laugh like crazy lol - I loved her wacky character! She also acts the way she does b/c of everything she knows about her "sister-in-law" and even her own husband (who was a real jerk btw). Eunsoo who I nicknamed "the evil sea witch" I hated her guts - such a deceptive, manipulative evil wench >_< I wanted to claw at her so many times! Everyone but Hongran was blind to her real nature - that is until she reveals it little by little. Kyungchul (Deok-In's spouse) was a real loser! The things he said to Deok-In made me furious! He was another character I hated a LOT. *I didn't feel sorry for him in the least* I also loved our younger cast, the school kids, Yoonsuh (who at first you kind of hate b/c of how he acts and treats kids, the ahjumma and even his own dad & then you find out one more thing to dislike about him but eventually you start to care for him and see all that bottled up hurt and anger that he had kept buried) and in the end you just love him <3 Hyunseo & Nurse Park were cute but awkward - I did ship them though ^^ Kyungtae (Ji Il Joo) *remember him as Healer's daddy?* I was happy to see him here! He's SO handsome ^_^ although he was pretty immature in this drama - especially toward his girlfriend who he chases away *stupid boy* lol
Music: I loved 2 songs in-particular: "You Like Me" by Hwayobi, & "Have You Ever Loved" by Han Kyung Soo. Other songs I liked: "Game Set" by DIA, and "The Darkness the Starlight" by Kim Wan Je
I would re-watch this drama (I re-watch most dramas at some point) and I do recommend it - to anyone who likes romance, makjang or melodramas and or family dramas with a bit of action lol

Cast: Yook Sung Jae as Officer Park Woo Jae was my personal favorite character - he was so eager, determined, nice, and wouldn't let go of his "detective instincts" ^^ He'd investigate things other detectives were brushing off with the help of his sunbae officer Han Yeong Sa whom I also really liked - two great officers/unofficial-detectives from a rural area who shined the most! Moon Geun Young as Han So Yoon was great in her role as the new teacher trying to figure out what brought her to Achiara. (not everyone likes her acting, but I do, I couldn't imagine another actress playing her role). Ohn Joo Wan was my second favorite character - I loved every scene of his. Choi Jae Woong as "the young agashi" was the most confusing and perplexing characters in this drama! Great acting! Park Eun Seok as Nam Gun Woo "the art teacher" another complex role - definitely going to keep my eye on this actor!
Every actor did such a splendid job with their character - and I can't say much or I will unveil the mystery!
Music: this is the first time I actually enjoyed the instrumental OST this much - it fit perfectly and still remains in my memory - usually instrumentals don't leave a lasting impression for me but this one did.
I would definitely re-watch this drama again! Such a good drama! I'd recommend it to mystery lovers!

Story: When an unexpected earthquake hits Seoul and brings disaster everywhere, the doctors and firefighters do everything in their power to save lives. We see cold treatment and rejection from certain doctors who refuse to treat patients who aren't easily fixable, and we see other doctors who do what some call reckless behavior in order to save people. Firefighters who are told to focus on saving people and patients who are searching for someone to help them.
Cast: I loved Kim Young Kwang as Lee Hae Seong in this drama! He was so charismatic and a true doctor who cared about saving people's lives - he didn't look at them as just a number - he looked at them for who they were - a person who has memories and family. He would disobey superiors at his workplace in order to save a life. This made him a enemy of one in particular person. Jung So Min as Jung Ddol Mi a resident doctor from Busan who happens to be in Seoul on the day of the earthquake, she meets Hae Seong and starts working with him and learning what it means to be a true doctor. Their scene's together were always good, intense, sweet, and funny at times. I also liked Ji Na and Woo Jin (Yoon Joo Hee & Ha Suk Jin) they were in conflict with one another for most of the drama but you could feel the connection they had and you really wanted it to work out. I also enjoyed the cute "romance" between Lee Seung Yeol & Kim Jung Hwa - so cute^^ Other characters that will remain in my memory: Lee Woo Seong (Song Ji Ho), Choi Il Sub (Kim Sang Ho), Oh Min Ho (Kim Chul Ki) - they all hold a special place :)
Character I hated: Park Gun (Lee Kyeong Yeong) and Dr. Yoo (Go Gyu Pil) >_< I really wanted to strip the first of his title and the second I wanted to remove from any type of doctorate field >_<
Music: Good, but no memorable songs - However! Since Jung Dong Ha sang the ending song - and I liked it (I love all his songs) I will be listening to that one - Going to find it and add it to a CD ^_^
I would re-watch this drama and would definitely recommend it!!! I marathoned it in 2 days! My eyes were glued to the screen <3
"If saving a life is a sin, then all the doctors of this world should take off their gown." - Dr. Lee Hae Seong

Sang Min (Jo Dong Hyeok) was my favorite character - he was like a love struck angel sent from heaven, his kindness toward Seo Young never failed to move me to tears every time - I fell head over heels for him by episode 6 and my love just continued to grow deeper and deeper for him each passing episode. He tells his dad at one point that he doesn't want to hate anyone, he wants to use all the time he has to love ^_^ I want a guy like him! <3 He fell immediately for Seo Young and it was SO cute! He couldn't stop smiling when he was in her presence ^^
Seo Young (Han Eun Jeong) gets betrayed by her lover of 10+yrs - during this betrayal that continues to grow, she meets Sang Min and receives so much help from him - this actress really delivered the tears! you could see her pain and anguish - it was so real, you would forget she's acting - Perfect emotions!
Seok Joo (Kim Dong Wan) was a real ass**** but I wasn't bothered by him much b/c that leaves space for Sang Min to enter lol He was full of jealousy/envy/greed - Sang Min never did anything to him, but Seok Joo hated him from the moment he saw him - why? b/c he had "everything" he didn't <pathetic isn't it?! He meets Jung Min (Hwang Jung Eum) by accident and ends up having an affair with her and when he finds out who she is, he pulls away from Seo Young and chases after the things he never had - and he doesn't care what it costs him to get there - he was angry so often - such a pathetic "man" -
I never hated Jung Min, she was just lead the wrong way and made bad choices - her acting was really good for a beginner.
Then we have a few supporting characters that I enjoyed watching: Hong Kyung Min & Yoon Hye Kyeong = cute couple lol, Park Eun Hye & her BF = another cute couple ^^
Music: I loved it, especially the song 'Throw Away' ??? ??? by ?? and ?? ?? ??? by Melo Breeze ^_^ These songs really let you feel the emotions of the drama.
I think I would re-watch this, especially from episode 6 and up - b/c I loved Sang Min so much ^_^
If you want to watch a really well written drama then check this one out - just be warned, there is an open ending - so you can decide what happened lol

This review may contain spoilers
I really wanted to give this drama a rating of 9 or 9.5 but b/c of the confusing ending that kind of made me upset (the writers really need to explain the ending - even now isn't too late to explain it!) I am uncertain if it's supposed to be a good or bad ending, so I only gave it an 8 - I couldn't possibly give it a lower rating b/c the rest of the drama (excluding the last 3 especially 2 episodes) were really well done, I really enjoyed it!Jo Dong Hyeok's character Dong Woo was the BEST thing about this drama "He melts your heart" as a friend said ^^ He is at first fun loving and would tease your emotions like crazy when you're watching him on screen! He truly nailed this role! He deserves more MAIN leads in dramas! He is seriously one of the most kind, caring and compassionate characters to ever enter drama-land! I loved him SO much - and it was SO adorable to watch him play with the two kids in the drama! In the last 3 episodes he brought out the tears - and it really hurt to watch him go through so much heartache and torment all b/c of one incident that he didn't even know happened! This drama was totally unfair to his character! I wanted to pull him out of the drama at the end and rescue his hurting soul! <3
Chu Sang Mi's character Ban Suk was kind of like a run over rug in the beginning - she wouldn't let go of things that were hurting her - she'd rather suffer all the pain in the world than hurt her child who was going through Psychological treatments for anxiety related stress. So even if I wouldn't have tolerated and lived with the things she did, I did understand her b/c of the child's issues... When her child dies (not a spoiler - it's in the description) she goes through a lot and 4yrs later she meets Dong Woo again - they start off as co-workers/neighbors and he was always helping her and in her business lol - I empathized with her character for most of the drama but the last 3 episodes honestly kind of made me really mad at her - she would throw away happiness and love for her hate? O.o does that make any sense?!! Anyways - her acting was really good! and her character growth was pretty good as well, but it almost seemed like she went back to her old self at the end :/ [I got really mad with one dream she had toward the end - I mean come on - it was a DREAM!!! Dreams are NOT reality!!!] >_< If I could remove that scene I would!
Both child actors were AMAZING!!! and they were both SO CUTE ^_^
I hated her ex and his mistress and her ex's mother - they were the worst people on planet earth and yet they believed they deserved everything! I consider the three of them to be filthy garbage.
Music: I LOVED 3 of the songs! '?? (Fever)' by ?? (Tae 1), '???? (Sunflower)' by ?? (Tae 1) (my favorite^^), '??? ??? (World)' by ?? (Tae 1) These songs had the most impact! [The last song reminds me of Lobbyist's ost ^^]
Despite the confusing and irritating ending I would still re-watch this and yes I would still recommend it - maybe some of you could understand the ending better than me... I'm going to do what most viewers are doing - believing that the ending was actually supposed to be positive.
And I would say - PLEASE avoid all spoiler comments until you have finished the drama yourself! Or you might miss out on some great acting and a pretty good story-line ^^

The entire cast was fun to watch (especially so if you're a young kid watching this), Mil who could see the future was my favorite and the reason I decided to watch this kid drama ^^ Yeon Doo was the first to find out about Mil's abilities and she'd go everywhere he'd go (I shipped them too lol) Moong is Yeon Doo's little brother (who was always hungry it seemed) he'd go anywhere his sister was, even if he didn't know what she was up to. Ho likes Yeon Doo and would follow her around, even more so after she was with Mil all the time 'jealousy made him curious' lol Choon Bong as Mil's uncle was such a weirdo lol, but he was entertaining to watch, albeit a bit crazy :P
The music was fun! Both the singing songs and the instrumentals.
Definitely worth a re-watch! and It can be watched either all at once or one episode per day (25mins an episode).

This drama doesn't have any of those nasty, I'm going to get in the way of their love "love triangles". She is a married woman who has been pretty much divorced from her husband for 4yrs (they just didn't send the papers in yet) and he is a single guy who has been in love with her for 20 yrs! ^_^ Her husband has another woman (and honestly I found them quite funny) and even though there is a girl who likes Hyun Suk - she doesn't get in his way ^^
Hyun Suk (Lee Sang Yoon) was so adorably cute in his pursuit of No Ra (Choi Ji Woo), he would sometimes be mean and childish / a bit petty and then get all cute and sweet again - they played and teased each other as if they were high-schoolers again ^^ So cute! Woo Chul (Choi Won Young) was a loser husband but he never made me mad, I laughed during most of his scenes lol. Min Soo (Kim Min Jae) was super sweet after the first few episodes, when I first saw him I didn't like him much b/c he didn't seem to treat his mom very nice - but later that changed and I started to like his character - the same thing happened with his girlfriend (Son Na Eun) I didn't like her at first but then I started to like her later. Soon Nam (Noh Young Hak) was a favorite of mine - even though he didn't get much screen time - I liked his friendship with No Ra ^^ (p.s. this is his third drama with LSY) hehe ;P I also liked Seung Hyun as No Ra's classmate and friend ^^ and oh my gosh! the YOUNG Hyun Suk was such a cutie!!! ^_^ I enjoyed his scenes very much! hope to see him in more dramas!
Music: the music that I remember the most is when they went to that club and they played them "older" music bands ^^ The ost itself had nice songs like: "Cuckoo" by Jannabi, "Oh You, Yeah You" by Yoo Sung Eun, "Fine Day" by Jung Jooil, "Star" by Mamamoo ft.Kim Min Jae, "Wrongful Meeting" by Honey G. One song however caught my ballad loving heart's attention: "You Don't Love Me" by Roy Kim <3
I would definately re-watch this drama! Who wouldn't want to re-watch such a well-made drama again? ^^ I recommend it to any fans of the actors, or rom/com lovers or anyone who likes a fresh cute take on finding yourself again. That's what this drama was to me, Ha No Ra (Choi Ji Woo) re-discovering her lost self, finding her real personality once again and becoming happy.

About a guy who's girlfriend dies and in the midst of his claim of innocence his younger brother takes the blame. As his brother searches for the "killer" more is revealed, he does his best to free the false charge and find the true perpetrator. In his search for the truth, he makes new acquaintances and realizes things may not have been as simple as he originally thought they were. What is the true scale of providence? How do you weigh one crime against another? Do you punish them all the same? Does money and power influence your justice? Can you forgive and be happy again?...
Cast: Woo Bin (Lee Sang Yoon) was my absolute favorite character, I loved him so much, I felt for him, when he'd cry I'd cry, when he hurt I hurt. He was so pitiful, it was sometimes hard to watch him struggle. His biggest and only mistake was being swayed by his mother. Joon Ha (Song Chang Eui) I also felt for him, his struggle to set his brother free was touching and painful. I loved the moments between him and Woo Bin. Young Joo, a girl who is in love with Woo Bin, a girl who's love stands the test of time - we should all love like that. I really liked her character, she's a bit of a tomboy but cute ;P and I totally shipped them. All the side characters were enjoyable to watch, there really wasn't a character that I didn't like seeing.
Music: I remember hearing at least three songs and I liked them all, but they weren't played often enough for me to grow attached to any of them.
I would definitely re-watch this drama (honestly, if I had the time I'd re-watch it right now)
The ending was good, and I was very happy with two things :D There does seem to be a little missing or not finished - but I think they intended to leave it that way, so we know their fight for finding corrupt officials wasn't over.
Overall, I definitely recommend this drama!

I really enjoyed this drama, I was pulled into the story as soon as I re-watched episode 1 and I could barely keep my attention away the few days that followed ^^ This drama never got draggy or boring in any way to me - it had good pacing and even flowed with some real history events - like the Imjin war they introduced toward the last 2 episodes & hinted at in previous episodes. A lot of people commented saying how disappointed they were in this drama, whether it be acting, story, or writing - but I loved it - every aspect of it! And it even made me itch to want to make some ceramics myself lol The romance was beautifully written in both aspects Tae Do & Gwanghae's love for Jung Yi <3 I loved both of these guys - of course I shipped her with Gwanghae - but I was never against Tae Do. A drama where I can love both my leading men ^_^ It ended how I expected it would. I cried during episodes 30 & 32 :"( It has a realistic ending, which is rather sad and slightly depressing but in it's own way still romantic.
Lee Sang Yoon as Gwanghae did a great job! I thoroughly enjoyed his role, the way he admired and loved Jung made my heart beat fast ^^ Kim Bum as Tae Do won my heart as Jung's Orabeoni, he staked his life and entire existence on protecting her <3 Moon Geun Young as Jung Yi was very well played, started out as a girl who was raised with ceramics teaching but didn't care for it until later and when she started to learn she went all the way. Imhae was funny in the beginning and I laughed a lot during his scenes but later when he started to be more cruel - I just disliked him. I also really liked Il Nam & his pals who always hung around Jung ^^ They were such a kick! :P
Music: I'm especially fond of Bobby Kim's song 'Forever You' and Park Ji Min's song 'I Love You' <3
I will probably re-watch this drama again sometime in the future ^^ and I'd recommend it.

My favorite character was Chun Doong (Chun Jung Myung) his character was filled with so much warmth and compassion - I couldn't not fall for him <3 I have since labeled him *mr. warm eyes* ^_^ I started the drama however for Lee Sang Yoon as Gwi Dong, but his character didn't impress me too much, so he was just brushed off as a good friend/partner of Chun Doong's. Even as a fan of Han Ji Hye, I couldn't like her character in this drama at all as Dong Nyeo - she was so prideful, arrogant and snobby. Looking down on the people below her in status - completely different than her childhood character. Dal Yi (Seo Hyun Jin) was a strong girl with a heart of gold, who also had strong beliefs in trying to right the ways of the world. I loved her as a child and as an adult. I skipped most of the scenes involving the many side characters as they were uninteresting to me. I hated the 'wet nurse' *Gwi Dong's real mother* <her actions to me were unforgivable - she could have been more redeemable if she had looked after Chun Doong with love - but instead she completely ignored his existence and treated him like Frankenstein during their brief meetings. and the man that followed her around all his life was very pathetic in my eyes.
My ships: *when they were kids* Gwi Dong and Dal Yi, Chun Doong and Dong Nyeo - *as adults* Gwi Dong and Dong Nyeo (although I must say I never cared for this couple's romance at all) and Chun Doong with Dal Yi <3
I think there are quite a lot of plot holes, but for me it was easy enough to overlook...
Music: I only paid attention to the ending song, it was a pansori song that I believe is sung by pansori singer Song So Hee - but I have been unable to find it :'( (if anyone does find it, please link me).
I won't re-watch this one, in my opinion, it's good for a 1-time watch but not for a re-watch.

I LOVED Baek Rok (JDH) ^_^ <3 He was so loyal - even when it hurt him, he fought to protect the people he loved and was bound by a promise made to the king. I liked Jung Yeon - but she somehow got stupid towards the end which disappointed me, I loved her relationship with Baek Rok. I hated Baek Kyul - I don't care if his brother and JY still liked him - in my eyes he was an ASS big time!
Music: I loved the ost!!! 2 songs in particular ^_^ pt.1 & pt. 2 of the ost
I might re-watch this sometime in the future - if only to see the ruggedly handsome Jo Dong Hyeok again <3 He truly was a wild man in this drama!
"All that I protected up 'till now by my sword was in vain. I finally want to use it for what I really want to protect. (Jung Yeon) You have to live, so that I, who's lived like a demon, killing all my life...would have some meaning to my life as a man." - Baek Rok

I liked Kyeong Bin the most (Go Soo) and really enjoyed seeing him do his best to become real twin siblings with Seung Ni/Yu Kyeong (Kim So Yeon). They fought a lot after they first met, but eventually started warming up to each other and caring for each other. I enjoyed their journey. Su Chul (Ahn Jae Wook) was a liar and a cheater and I hated his relationship character - I did think he was a good friend and brother - but a horrible lover. (and this is coming from a fan of him). I think this was his worst drama. I really liked Nam Kyeong (the second sister - curly hair - Kim Ji Young) she reminded me a lot of actress Lee Tae Ran (a favorite actress of mine), she was nice and supportive to her siblings, honestly she seemed the like the oldest - like the leader of the pack if you will ;P Chan Mi was a good friend and I liked her role. Hwang Soo Jung plays the mute sister and she did a great job with her sign language & expressing emotions - I liked her for the most part - but ended up skipping half her scenes b/c she is mostly with AJW... :/
Music was EXCELLENT, I loved it! I have it listed in the comments <3
I will not re-watch this drama and unfortunately I do not recommend it - not even to AJW fans like myself. Go Soo fan's might like his part in the show though - I know I did ^^
