I watched this drama after a recommendation from a friend ,, she said it has the best friendship and character development ,,, she knows what I like in my dramas to watch
she was totally right ,, I thanked her for this gem
at first episodes I was a bit bored at first ,, I didn't know where is the friendship or the bond ,, I see people investigating only then it began to build up it's own momentum ,,, the characters became closer to each other and they began to experience their own battels ,,, there were some funny scenes I didn't find very funny but after ten episodes or more it showed how ever character behaves and what is his or her intention
the Two friends became closer and closer with the story as it moved along ,, it's pace was just right not too slow not too fast
the Two friends completed each other short comings ,, one with the brain , the other with muscles (fighting skills)
one protected the other
also it had good family and friendship values that I admired so much
the male lead did a great job and I fell in love with him and his character
he seemed annoying and selfish at first because he acted as the smartest person in the room most of the time but then his character learned to behave modestly towards his family and friends ,, his true nature became clearer and lovable
he loved every one around him and cared for every one and treated every one with the right compassion
the best part of the drama is the last ten or so episodes they were full of angst and Bromance
it became so clear how the second male lead love his friend so much and care for him ,, he protected him always but at the final episodes he cared for him more than anyone else ,,, he cared for his safety more than the people he serves or the king
yes he protected the king too but his friend didn't leave his mind for one second asking about his news all the time
there were some plot holes in the story but it's ok I don't mind them at all
some cons:
the second male lead's acting was lacking at times ,, his acting skills are a bit week not too much
killing the guy who look exactly like the third male lead was a bit weird as if it was ok to kill one commoner for the royal one and the male lead didn't react to that ,, I was surprised how ok they were about this matter
After all ,,, I loved this drama as a very good bromance drama
I recommend it so much
