It was a good series. Management was very good. In terms of production, it was very good. Apart from the praise for Korea and if you don't worry about whether the historical facts are true or false, I can say that it is a series that is beyond extraordinary. I am one of those who do not think that it corresponds exactly with historical events. It already warns you when the series starts. Because it is not the same as historical facts. This broke my heart. The second is clothes. I don't think Korea wore those warrior clothes at that time. It is likened to Roman or Greek warriors. Where are the clothes, armor, vehicles, this and that? A poor country, a tribute-paying country. It is a dependent country. A country where most of its people were sent as slaves to other countries. It's a bit ridiculous to show these things in this reality, but I thought like this. It was a study on how to glorify Goryeo if we refer to that period by producing a 20th century perspective and strategy, and it was very successful. Whether it's war tactics, clothes, or perspective on events, they don't reflect that era. It reflects the view from here, today. I see it as a study of what it would be like if we did it that way then.
In this series, an illegitimate child is expelled from royalty, confined to a monastery, and becomes king after being pushed by someone after the sudden death of his brother, and the events that occur as a result. On the one hand, he may be a judge in a village, or he may be an administrator equivalent to a village or town administrator or a district governor. It is about his rise to the Commander-in-Chief of Goryeon with the new emperor as a result of the events that took place while he was the person responsible for everything in the village and town. In short, it is about what such a duo did for Goryeo and their victory in the last war with the Khitan.
However, considering the angle of presentation, there is too much praise for Goryeo. It shows that this is a bit imaginary. Even though it is imaginary, it is a well-constructed production and beautifully reflected to the audience. I like it a lot.
Won in the last war. The Khitans were portrayed so badly. Out of 100 thousand people, there seem to be only three or five lame people left. In other words, it is one of his efforts to belittle the enemy out of spite. Of course, they suffered so much. By reflecting this in this way, the scriptwriter and director touched the hearts of Koreans and took another kind of revenge. On top of that, they recognized Goryeo, recognized the king, and signed a non-aggression agreement. Their benefits were also cut. Thereupon, neighboring principalities, tribes, and especially the Jurchens, everyone rushed to celebrate Goryeo. They became friends and started giving benefits. So Goryeo moved from giving to receiving benefits. Beautiful snaps.
After winning the war, two olive branches are now golden. I don't know if they are made of tin, it was very funny that the king put these on Gam Chan. It's obvious he's a Roman wannabe. In fact, my clothing was like a quote from ROMAN movies.
The actors were fine. We need to start with Choi Soo Jong. He was the gripping character and best actor of the series. His experience is enough. I've also watched Kim Dong Jun. in a few dramas before. It was more noticeable here. He played very well. I like it a lot. Well done. He also acted as a bald head. It's not for everyone. Ji Seun Hyun left the drama early. His image was the best player. It was very successful. Likewise, Lee Won Jon only had a few episodes but that was enough. A good actor reveals himself everywhere, even in two minutes. Kim Tae Han also destroyed the drama with his image. Khita's Commander-in-Chief portrayed an extremely good image and played very well. It suits her. I like it a lot. Our Aunt Yoo Bok In. So Gam. Chan's wife. It was remarkable. It's one of those that looks good, even if it looks small. The husband and wife bickering was one of my favorite episodes. Congratulations to all the players. I was able to write down the most prominent ones. I'm sorry.
In other words, our series was an extraordinary good series, with its pros and cons. Congratulations to the director. I congratulate the screenwriter twice for making his dreams seem real. Do not get it wrong. I don't know the exact truth of the events. Because I'm not a historian. As far as we follow, I am commenting on the small research we have done on our own, based on our own knowledge. I'm giving my guesses. In my opinion, the events are far from being authentic, but it is a well-reflected production to the audience, except for the praise. I recommend everyone to watch it.
