I anticipate come back shows of actors who have completed their military service so I was expecting something from this show. I have read negative comments about the show because of the age gap between Yoon Shi-yoon and Kim Sae-ron but I must say that, while watching, the age gap didn't really show that much. I'm not a fan of super loooong historical dramas but I do love them (I've only sit through all episodes of Dong Yi, others I skimmed only). My first impression is that the show is a bit of Moon Embracing the Sun and Arang mixed together. I love the supporting characters but the one I like most is Hong-joo (the shamaness). The actress really embodied being the evil shaman and just by her stares, I can feel the hate/fear/worry/evil happiness she felt. And of course, I do love our main couple. Sometimes, I really wonder whether Kim Sae-ron is really that young to deliver an acting this much. Oh, Yoon Shi-yoon, I can stare through those eyes all day and feel all his emotions. There is real chemistry between them and I felt the love and intimacy between them despite the very limited skinship there is in the drama (Sae-ron is still a minor). I want a reunion. Soon. But maybe I can wait until Kim Sae-ron becomes an adult and they can do more than what i have seen *winks*. Story-wise, the show really did deliver. Most of the times I feel like a certain event will likely happen but then it goes the other way. The plot didn't drag that much despite having 20 episodes though there are times that I felt, here we go again. For a historical drama with an expected tragic ending, the show satisfied me knowing that the direction of the story is logical and it didn't seem forced. *spoiler* REACTION ON ENDING I was really sad with how the show ended, I felt the regret right there.
