Top 5 Sageuk of all time!
This is at the top of my list of best sageuks of all time! Maybe my favorite series of all time. Korean and American. I’ve seen so many sageuks, but this one has such a special place in my heart. It’s probably been two years ago since I first watched it, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched it since then. It’s one of those that never gets old. I’m still so upset though that Hwi, and Seung Ho died, not to mention his little sister. My favorite part was at the end when Seung Ho told Hwi that he and his little sister were his country. I inwardly cried for probably two weeks over this series and that part in particular. I guess one of the greatest things about sageuks is they teach so many valuable lessons… mostly that of perseverance, endurance, honor, the strength and value of friendship, suffering well, and loyalty. This one does just that! And that’s just scratching the surface- There’s so many other great take-aways from it. ‘My Country’ you stole my heart and I’m forever thankful that you did. Thank you to the writers and to this all-star amazing cast! Each one of them were perfect in their roles and also in their acting! ❤️
