A true mind-blowing masterpiece...
For so many reasons I call this show just that. As I'm writing this I'm still wiping the tears at my eyes from just the all around thrill, sadness, frustration and satisfaction this show brought me. Funnily enough I found this show while browsing around on YouTube shorts and the scene near the end where he is walking down the carpet to the throne in what I guess was women's clothes to see His Father, caught my attention so hard. I instantly was curious as to what this show was about that such a stunning man with tears in his eyes had a stride and demeanor like that. It literally took me two hours just to find the title cause the short didn't list the name and the comment back was even made after I found it. Trust me when I say that what I just watched was not what I was expecting this show to be about at all... I went into this totally blind cause I didn't even look for the trailer once I got the name. Instantly started the binge and omfg what a roller coaster it was.
The glory of this show is so vastly off the charts, it's stunning, the cast was amazing, the time period play out was perfect, the costumes, makeup and decor was absolutely breathtaking.. everything about this show had me hooked from the first 10 minutes. It was about halfway through the first episode when I got this nice flash of nostalgia because these two men started showing a relationship/bromance that very much so reminded me of another duo from a Korean show that I have rewatched more times than I can count and is probably still my number one favorite til this day.
Nares and Mingyi have such a similar love hate bromance like Seo Hwi and Nam Seon-ho from My Country: The New Age, close to the same ending but the stories are different, just similar enough in a lot of places. Please don't take this as comparing either, as both shows are dynamically different but some key things do make similar points. This show just gave me that same hook factor and excitement. It was almost so hard to put it down, I easily got through it in one day. I know I marked this as spoiler but that cause I didn't want people to read the first part but I also don't want to give to much away either as this is a show I think is really good for going blind into because of it diverse characters, how things unfold from their childhood to their lives going into war lords and character developments with each other. It's truly truly a dynamically beautiful show and if you are reading this and haven't watched it, PLEASE I highly encourage watching it. It's truly a wonderful shory with a very eye catching cast and heart wrenching buildup both romantically and throughout each event and character.
