One of the best historical Korean drama
Even though this drama is about 11 years old and 29 episodes long .. It dint make me feel bored even for a single episode !
I am not a big fan of historical dramas .. came her just for my loyalty for JCW and damn he never fails to surprise me with his character portrayal... I was still lost in his charms ! HIs character has been build beautifully over ..since his birth to the next 24 years !! How a disabled child , changed his destiny and became joseon's best sword master !
Talking about YSH , I have seen him in other dramas and dint find him much impressive , but here he made me have second thoughts about him ! Even though I really dint understand why he chose the path of assassins and even after having multiple chances to return , dint get back to his friends (major plot hole).. but it still went in a flow !
I won't deny about that the story had plot holes ... but who cares , if u r ultimately enjoying it ! The major thing that turned me off was absence of strong female characters , motherly figures , developing romance and samini (all about girls)... I am not asking about full fledged romance , but how come most of them were alone without any wives and gfs... The pairing in the end was also a bit off ! I won't say that Samini dint act well , it was just a week character but was given a lot of importance .
The child actors were awesome ! the grand master , ga ok and sky lord trio had a great chemistry . I also really liked the elderlies HJG and Sa mo.... and the background score and OST were really awesome .. I am hooked on it !!
All in all this drama had a good impact on me ! few plot holes can always be forgotten , if u had a good time watching it !! Happy Watching
