However, it ends up being just a political battle, and the story becomes a game of chess, figuratively speaking. With the exception of the good guys who only want to protect the prince, everyone else has a side story and a motive. I get kind of confused at times because so much is going on at once...but all in all it's a good drama. I do agree that it could have ended at 24 episodes.
You're right.. I know that the story is supposed to be about Dong Soo's journey and all, but I am finding that they went way off course on that one, and its really become about the Prince, Sky Lord, Sword Saint, and of course the bad guy from most of the period drama's(I don't even bother remembering his name).. It's starting to bother me, but all in all it is a good drama, and I will be finishing, just at the moment am not to happy with how certain things have gone/are going..
