This was a drama that started out beautifully, it was so full of plot and characters rich with goals and personalities, but sadly a little past the halfway point these things started to wither away very rapidly. This drama focuses not on romance, but more heavily on politics with plenty of action scenes thrown in there for good measure. The action scenes were very well done and I found myself thrilled most of the time, my eyes absolutely glued to the screen. The music matched each moment perfectly and the soundtrack is one that will certainly stick with me for a long time to come. If Warrior Baek Dong Soo had perhaps been a few episodes shorter, maybe it would have become a masterpiece. But unfortunately it wasn't, and although I was completely in love with this sageuk, I found myself struggling through the last few episodes and there was that small tinge of relief when it finally finished. Because of this, I feel like the rewatch value would be ridiculously low here - I definitely don't see myself having the attention span to go through this again. The memories of the drama are positive ones though. The acting was brilliant. It's safe to say the reason I chose this drama in the first place was because of Yoo Seung Ho and Ji Chang Wook and I certainly wasn't disappointed. They fit the roles splendidly, and Choi Min Soo played an even more amazing character that simply blew me away. I laughed, I cried, and I don't regret watching it. Overall I'd say it was a very good watch, I just wish the excitement from the beginning could have made it all the way to the end.
