since I am re-watching it at the moment, could not help myself to reply to the thread :) I do not think it is the most perfect drama ever, and even I do like Ye Un most, I actually did not understand, why he became an assasin (repeating: re-watching and still no clue) I really did not like the lead female too, she was simply dull. About Jin Ju, it was like they could not decide what kind of role she should have...But here is the reason why I liked it: It was the scenes seperately, they are like a nice picture with epic music, the costumes,the colors and light were fitting perfectly too. İf you watched it you would know what I mean, The fight between, Earth Lord and Sword Saint, the scene where Sky Lord and Earth Lord are sitting under a tree when they learn that the sword saint is back. etc. There are lots of long (very long actually, that is why I am calling them picture) scenes like that. I think they were simply beautiful. :)
