It's romantic, but romance can mix love, guns and sad endings
This drama make me think about the struggle, the decision to fight and the pain that it can cost to you. The authoritarianism, war and all those evil things can take the best or the worst of us. Sometimes we love, sometimes we are foreigners, sometimes all we got is sad endings. Different people with their owns storys can make a brighter future together. Joseon's people keep fighting knowing how hard their goal is, but they keeping fighting. That's the message. I was sobing. Truly a masterpiece.Was this review helpful to you?
Warning: slowly leads you into dark secrets
Quite possibly one of the most enigmatic dramas I've ever watched. When we compare it with the remake, the differences are obvious. In this version we have things left unsaid, the claustrophobic feeling that some scenes had and the constant feeling of nostalgia. I believe that from the beginning we have the feeling that something is out of place. I remember Ryo's letter as a child: "I have become God." I think this says a lot about his psychological state, it wasn't an easy life. It was as if he was doomed from the beginning. This is the kind of story that messes with your head and makes you feel remorse for something unknown. I spent days thinking about solutions, but I think the following symptom remains at the end of it all: some things just can't be fixed. Melancholy and in a way, haunting. Truly a classic.Was this review helpful to you?
