Story telling was the best I've seen. Every detail was carefully placed and accounted for. The pace was exceptional, it never dragged out a scene just to drag it out, the timing was perfect, and the background music was well chosen even if most of the music was not Korean, it was very effective to highlight this was a historically inspired melodramatic story with classical themes. The cast of actors brought out ALL that helped tell the story all the way to the end. But the end felt disoriented after so much perfection.
Yee Jin Goo a veteran actor did a spectacular job presenting his dual roles. Lee Se Young likewise drew a perfect picture of her character. Other roles from the Chief Secretary, Left State Minister & son, Queen Dowanger, Queens handmaid, Personal guard, and Eunuch Jo....I was sorry to say goodbye to them.
