Brilliant! Love the show so much and how much they respect the characters and the viewers. I love every single character and adore that they connected it to tree with deep roots - slick, clever writing like this is rare and will definitely be missed.

Moohyul was definitely my favourite character, he started off so innocent and bumbling that his development was a great experience to see (especially during the flashbacks). There is a special scene in episode 25 that made me cry out with joy (and that does not happen often). Bang won was another great character and i loved his character and sympathised with him (even when i knew what he was doing is wrong) and that shows the great skill in both the writing and the acting of this character.

This show cant really be spoiled as the events are set in history but what the writing did was make us understand some of the action that took place and in other areas they used artistic license which i couldnt begrudge them as it made the story make so much more sense. I honestly cant praise the writing enough! Will definitely be watching more of this writer's stuff!

Yoon kyung sung and byun yo han were brilliant and cant wait to see them in more stuff. Yoo Ah In was phenomenal and he will definitely be missed when he goes to complete his military service soon...i will await his return as i did with song joong ki ;) Will definitely be rewatching this show, maybe not so soon when the events are still fresh but give it time and i will be back! It would also be fun to watch this and tree with deep roots back to back as the writers managed to link both shows so well (even using some of the same characters from tree here which was great use of the actors!)

The soundtrack was amazing, my favourite is the track by byun yo han (muiiya) and it made my skin tingle when i heard it in the show, especially the rock version which they sometimes used for the fight scenes.
