Impressive flow of story with such a remarkable setting, costumes, and props

This is one of my anticipating drama of 2021 and the title itself speaks a beautiful and meaningful story. Although I’m not a fan of historical shows, the casting made me add this to the list. Jisoo and Kim So Hyun are both of my top fave K-actor ever. Then boom! Jisoo’s bullying scandal almost ruin the drama. But thankfully, it wasn’t.

I was really impress on how they started the show, I never get bored in the first few episodes. The setting and costume were super realistic. Brutality in the show is so good that I even close my eyes for some scene but the one that got me surprise is when the woman blinded her own eyes, it was super scary. War of the tribes, King vs leader of the tribes, and etc. These are really intense and remarkable clash presented in the series.

Another thing that I like about this show is that they haven’t let the viewers to wait for more episodes before the revelation scene. It is so unique compare to others. You really didn’t know what will be going to happen next while watching this, they are good on turning the tables. They demonstrate more possibilities that can occurred in a historical conflict.

RWTMR is such a good drama, speaking from experience, I often feel bored watching a historical drama but this one is an exception. Every Kim So Hyun drama is perfect on its own way, and I also observe that each So Hyun’s drama will let you torn on between the main and second lead which is hard for many viewers.

Some of my dislikes on the show:
- On Dal character is really annoying during EP13-EP18
- The fantasy ending. It is already good that On Dal died, realistic and sad ending is much better than magical and happy ending. Do some people can really play dead for a while? As ind dead with no pulse and breathing, if yes, HOW and WOW!
- Took me too long to be familiarize with the new On Dal. I know it’s not their fault that some issues suddenly blow out and affects the show but unfortunately this truly became one of the cons of the show.
- Why do the Prince become so angry with his sister the moment he become the King? I’m kind of confused in its previous scene were the King and the Monk talked about the past that is related to the late Queen. Why is he angry after that? Specifically, to the Princess?
- I feel like 20 episodes is too much for me, during the last few episode, I feel bored which I never feel during the previous episodes.
