True, she was the weakest one.

I enjoyed it, the story was really interesting, the characters as well, the music was great. Not to mention the costumes and all those things that make us love historical dramas ;) It's a pity though that some of the subplots were not developed...they could have been very interesting, for example Seol's story...But it would require 40 or 50 episodes to develop all the plots, so maybe it's a good thing they kept it short.
One more thing...Is it just me or did you also dislike the adult version of YeonWoo/Wol? I don't mean the character, although it was really underdeveloped which made her not credible, but the actress!! Her horrible contact lenses which made her eyes look so unnatural and stupid...Her way of speaking - poor attempt at seguk speech...She didn't look convincing as a woman in love or as a person who has been hurt...All the time she resembled a sheep who was doing what she was told, without any emotion. There she was, acting like a shaman without asking about anything...then coming to meet the king without the slightlest change in her expression...then she found out all that had happened to her and still nothing, her face looked just the same...the king recognised her and made her sit behind a screen in his chamber...well, whatever, she accepted without a word and just kept looking and speaking the same way...What was that supposed to be? Her acting made her character look totally unconvincing and even dumb at times...The child actress was 1000 times better and more professional!


This comment just solidified why I'm not able to give TMEtS a 10...And it would not have been a great deal of an issue if the story did not revolve around her character. But it is and I felt that the most crucial times, she failed to deliver.

Agree with you. I really couldn't understand why he accepted the role being it's a step back from his male lead character, Cha Chi Soo in FBRS. But I read somewhere that he accepted it because both writer and director had the same preference for Yang Myung Gun and it was JIW.

LOL at those guards, Lis! Hahahaha!

I'm looking for the OST...well, one music in particular (because I though I had the complete OST but there is one missing melody, and of course, it's my favorite it the drama...OF COURSE !!!). This melody appears each time there is a big moment of revelation in the drama, like when (SPOILER) Yeon Woo gets her memories back, or when Hwon hear from the head shaman that Wol is actually Yeon Woo. (SPOILER)
Anyone know here I can find it, or its name ?

I loved this drama I really did, but I cried so much watching it :( If I could convince the people around me that reading subtitles isn't a bad thing, they would probably love it too.

Yeah me too (thanks by the way), and since my mom just finished this drama in french, she does too. She went to Bulgaria for her business trip with her MP3 full of those OST ^^ BTW she absolutely loved that drama (she even shouted "Watch out!" to my computer in ep20^^) Hey, I tried to find a drama that made the same nationwide's and Seoul's episode rating but I can't find one : even BBF or Secret Garden, City Hunter, or Iljimae, or Tree with Deep Root, or Personnal Taste, or Time Between Dog and Wolf, or Goong: Princess Hours, or even Hwang Jin Yi did not make that kind of ratings ! Maybe this drama just became a part of drama history ?
