Loved this drama and I usually don’t enjoy sageuk. It’s incredibly forward thinking and honestly highlights real issues women faced during an extremely difficult time. I loved the messages of the importance of choice and being your own authority, even when you’re the most powerless.

The most women centric, feminist drama I’ve ever seen in all my Korean drama land watching.

I loved Junho and his acting too but the true star of this drama was the overall message it meant to convey.

And if you’re paying attention it is chock full of symbolism. Another highlight is the gorgeous but also thoughtfully planned cinematography.

Beautiful and bittersweet but worth the journey!
