Waste of good actors and story

Read this review before you decide whether you want to watch this title

Pros:
The cast - the actors are amazing and the acting done was quite well. The crown prince , master woo bin , the villain , second leads FL father , first FL father, both body gurads gona and seong un and the second lead did a good job .

The cinematography - the fight scenes well choreographed, the poppy fields or cherry blossom paths, the sunsets shining in the water, was wonderfully done. Its one of the best scenic beauty movie if you are into those things

Cons:
Waste of good actors: There were two good fighters who were under utilized and could have added more reality to the fight scenes. The crown prince is a good actor but mostly he was a cry baby or fake smiling. First FL was one of the weakest character in the history of drama movies (including the playful kiss and heirs .. adding examples to show how serious I am). Although she is a good actress but her potential was never used. The second lead did a great job (at least the script gave her some hope.. may be cause we give dying wishes a chance) .

The script: I could no longer remember the plot (in desperate hopes to keep myself sane) I lost count how many times the story went wayward. Although the story gist was superb but the execution was poor and the actors had no chance to do justice to the story.

Both ML and FL never looked as if in love with each other (Second FL looked much more in love than those two). That was the biggest down side of the drama. The romantic scenes look empty and their emotions lacking

OverAll Verdict: If you love the cast (if FL or ML is your bias), you love good fight scenes and have lots of time on your hands . go ahead and watch the title
