Episode 1 violent intro but this grew into something of an epic. Wonderful martial arts - historical with plenty of memorable characters. I found Sword Saint more convincing as a martial arts master. The contrast of light-dark with Heuksa Chorong was well done. Excellent political intrigue woven throughout with Hong Dae Joo a memorable villain and built up the tension to spectacular finish. I am not a great lover of "epilogues" but it was well written, allowing for the fact that they are always somewhat predictable. It's a mighty effort to make and a mighty effort to watch, so I am sure I will come back to it again in time but not for a while. It's a commitment to watch but one I always looked forward to daily. The only drawback for me was that the music got very repetitious and intrusive sometimes. Otherwise brilliant all round. 11/10
Same storyline as Tunnel. Do not see much comedy in this, except if police beating each other and suspects up seems funny. Not sure how realistic the '80s settings are - seem very primitive, more like '50s movies I have seen. All these detective type dramas become addictive as you get to know characters and want to know how storyline develops. Is sci-fi element involving a parallel universe? For me too much beating up but upside is cops beat themselves also~~ ヾ(。ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ノ゙ ~~ This is one that improves as it goes on, also where I may also have some sympathy for the killer (the guy who was in School 2013). It was gripping and "upbeat" ending (I think?), but I think still very "in your face" (LOL) violence, but the friendship of the group was maybe the best feature. I recommend also Tunnel.
Beautiful drama, costumes, ost so far, I'm glad I watched it. The "cross dressing" dramas would be far better with a real man disguised as a woman disguising "herself" as a man. Then all these supposed women-disguised-as men ~~ who will never fool anyone with at least the intelligence of a hen ~~ would be infinitely more credible. This has started off so nice with gay vibes with at least 3 characters, why spoil it for them by revealing the truth? ~~ ヾ (✿>﹏ ⊙〃)ノ ~~ Just finished watching after putting it off and off because I did not want it to end, For me everything about this drama was peak, including the ending. It is one of very few I could watch again in due course. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
Looks like a fun comedy drama. I was looking and I knew I had seen that handsome face before - Gong Yoo of Goblin (-‿◦) I like him better here than in Goblin
