Song of Bandits; Ending felt unsatisfying
I was not happy with the ending of the drama. I know there will be a season 2, but I still wanted Nam Hee-shin to end up with Lee Yoon. They had such a great chemistry and they went through so much together. I did not like that Nam Hee-shin had to marry Lee Gwang-il, the Japanese soldier who was Lee Yoon’s enemy. I felt sorry for him, but I did not think he deserved Nam Hee-shin’s love. I hope that in season 2, Nam Hee-shin and Lee Yoon will reunite and be happy.Overall, I enjoyed Song of the Bandits and I would recommend it to anyone who likes historical dramas with action and romance. It is a well-made and well-acted drama that shows the struggle and courage of the Korean people during a dark time in history. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.

Give it a go, you wont regret
I purely watched this for kim nam gil and as usual he didnt disappoint...i am in love with his active, quick body movements in almost all the shows he is in... This had pure, raw action and violence which i am not a big fan of but the story and execution was so captivating that before i know i was on episode 3...too far in to give it up...you wont even know how time will pass while watching this...period pieces are not my favourite genre and this is the first time i am watching one and definitely not regretting...do give it watchWas this review helpful to you?
Poorly written script in the final 12 minutes of episode 9
Overall, I found SOTB to be excellent, with a few minor glitches from the screenwriter(s). The most disappointing 12 minutes is at the end of episode 9 - the FL marries the evil one, not knowing(?) that he is aware of her participation in the independence movement? On top of that, she definitely had strong feelings for the ML, although the ML is too blindly patriotic at the train station to meet her even when he knows she is desperately searching for him. If there is a second season of SOTB, the writers had better work hard to overcome their laziness / sloppiness at the end of episode 9, otherwise a second season will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of viewers such as myself.Was this review helpful to you?
Stylish and cinematic
Likes1. Kim Nam Gil and guns are enough reasons for me to watch this drama.
2. Interestingly i loved the complex relationship between Lee Yoon and Gwang Il.
3. I didnt like Eon Nyeon but she eventually grew on me when she started fighting with the team.
4. The rest of the team were so-so, i liked Seonbok the best.
5. Loved the almost western feel to the show though it sometimes looked like they were in a big film set.
Dislikes
1. The episodes were starting to get repetitive and boring and there wasnt much to the story. Maybe because it was cut to just 9 episodes.
2. I didnt feel the romantic chemistry between the two leads.
Rating: 8/10

Drama curto e muito bom
O drama foca principalmente na ação, que é também onde ela é bem desempenhada. Ele também faz um trabalho decente estabelecendo e desenvolvendo personagens e também misturando os personagens. Achei o elenco ótimo e cada personagem foram bem desenvolvidos. No geral, foi um drama interessante com uma história interessante que me manteve envolvido até o final. O final foi muito inconclusivo e com várias possibilidades para uma segunda parte do drama.Ost muito boa e bem favorável com as cenas

so fun but has many scene that don’t make any sense.
เป็นเรื่องที่เนื้อเรื่อง/ดำเนินเรื่องสนุกตื่นเต้นดีมาก แต่ฉากที่เว่อออออ มีอยู่เยอะมาก โดยเฉพาะฉากต่อสู้ฝั่งทหารญี่ปุ่นมีปืนกันขนาดนั้นแต่ฝั่งพระเอกไม่มีใครโดนยิงซักคน กลายเป็นใช้ปืนเป็นของตีแทนซะงั้น
ผู้หญิงนักฆ่า ก็ดูพยายามทำให้สูสีกับพระเอกทั้งๆที่สตอรี่ก็เล่าให้พระเอกเป็นคนเก่งมาก แถมขนาดตัวที่ต่างกันมากเลยแอบดูฝืนๆนิดหน่อย แต่ action แสดงกันออกมาได้ดีทุกคน
บางฉากก็มีความห๊ะ อย่างตอนที่พระเอกยืนอ่านจดหมายที่นางเอกฝากมาให้ คืออ่านตอนนี้เลยหรอ ไม่รีบไปช่วยทีมก่อน

Atuação, figurino e ost impecáveis
Não canso de falar como os coreanos gostam de contar a história do país e são mestres nisso; sempre encontrando uma nova forma ou um ponto de vista para isso, e fica genial!Ambientado durante o período colonial japonês na década de 20, temos aqui um enredo com muita ação em que o povo privado do seu direito e meios de subsistência se revoltam e lutam por uma Coreia que exista fora da opressão.
Lee Yoon passou muitos anos dentro do regime ditatorial como um soldado, mas após participar de um extermínio, a culpa não o permite continuar. Após abandonar o lado do Japão, virando assim um traidor do país e do seu amigo, o comandante Kang Il, uma caçada começa.
Kang Il é um opressor e não existe uma célula desse homem que pense com clareza. É odioso, então a busca por vingança é incontrolável. Então ele contrata uma assassina de aluguel e encomenda a morte de Lee Yoon.
Aqui entra a melhor personagem desse k-drama: Eon Nyeon Yi, a assassina. As cenas de ação protagonizada por ela é de tirar o fôlego, além de seu ideal de vida solitário, mas ao encontrar outros oprimidos, ela vê que não está sozinha. De todos os personagens, Nyeon Yi foi a que mais notei um crescimento constante na trama, tanto a narrativa da história de uma jovem fragilizada até se torna a mulher sedenta por vingança e que faz qualquer coisa para atingir seus objetivos. Maravilhosa!
Apesar de ser um drama estritamente masculino, as mulheres roubam a cena. Temos Hee Shin, uma nobre que está buscando métodos ao seu alcance para reerguer seu país, e também Seon Bok, que através de um disfarce consegue colocar esses "bandidos" nos lugares em que precisam. Mulher portando arma é meu fraco! hehe
O final não me desagradou. É de se esperar que em sageuks não haja muita conclusão visto ser um período em que a solução não é dada de uma hora para outra, afinal, foram 35 anos de muita luta até a liberdade. Então, foi um bom final e que dá um super gancho para outra temporada.
Sou obcecada por dramas históricos bem feitos, elenco bem escolhido, figurinos impecáveis
e uma ost que não deixa a desejar.

excellent ! la saison 2 va venir !
Très bonne série, avec des reconstitutions très soignées.Les acteurs sont particulièrement bons :
Lee Hyun Wook comme vilain est absolument parfait, il a des expressions superbes.
Kim Nam Gil est excellent lui aussi, mais nous y sommes habitués.
Lee Ho Jung est très convaincante dans son rôle d'assassin, c'est la belle découverte !
Certaines scènes feraient presque croire que l'on se trouve au far-west américains avec ses saloons, ses locomotives à vapeur, ses chevaux et ses costumes d'époque !
A regarder sans modération !
SPOILER :
Edit : je suis sure qu'on verra une suite, tous les acteurs principaux sont vivants à la fin, et l'intrigue peut largement continuer !
