This review may contain spoilers
I'm trying to figure out how to post this review without it being too long and giving away many spoilers so I'm going to try to do the best I can.
I'm almost into my 3rd year of watching Korean dramas and will try to find any and every drama that has martial arts in it. This one does. I came to watch because of Cha Tae Hyun. I'm not too familiar with this actor but the two dramas I've seen him in led me to watch this. If anyone have read my reviews you will see I only pick dramas that have action in it. There are a few that don't have action but I'm a action fanatic none the less.
Because I've been watching Korean dramas for almost 3 years, this have a lot of actors that I recognized that have become my favorite actors. I can't name them all because I would have to copy and paste but do know there's about nine actors in this that are my favorite.
Now, to the story. I'm not much of a fantasy, historical, period piece type of watcher but the first episode reeled me in...a bit. It's about a girl of course which I steer clear from these type of dramas but again, it had fighting in it and I wanted to watch to see if I would stick it out.
The special effects were bad but you will get use to it and it begins to look normal at some point. The plot is about a wizard falling in love with a girl whom he and his best friend like but there's something of a betrayal occurs and revenge needs to be done and this is what happens throughout the series.
The main character for some odd reason have the life of a cat because he dies on several occasions but is somewhat resurrected each time he dies. The second main character have only one goal: kill his best friend whom he felt betrayed him.
The one thing that made me angry about this drama was how the evil deeds that were done by the bad guys were able to escape major punishment while innocent good people died.
I liked all of the characters except the king. They made this guy truly weak. He had no voice but the minister did. I didn't understand why the king didn't get rid of the bad guys. At one point he allowed the system to frame a innocent person and signed some type of paper that allowed him to be beheaded. His judgement was so bad I understood why the bad guys wanted to get rid of him.
There were plots in this drama that made me wonder why it didn't end when it should've but when you have 24 episodes you gotta make subjects last.
There's more I would like to talk about but this is already long enough. I give the last episode a thumbs up and a thumbs down because some things were addressed quickly while other things dragged on. I'm unfamiliar with Korean period pieces and really isn't into that type of genre but if another drama comes out that's similar to this, I would give it a chance and watch it.
