Citius, Altius, Fortius.

Citius!
Forget slow pace plot-lines. This is a FAST breathtaking piece. But in very decent portion. Think this, a story of one day in 40-plus episodes. Mastermind of scriptwriting skills is superb.
You won’t turn heads to checked on your phone or grabs more chips. The story will fuse you to stalk on and suspense at all cost. I found it, sublime.
Let’s talk costumes and set. It is so portraying and magnificently bleak with noir scent but has grandeur effect at the same time... history is ancient... and ancient is majestic.

Altius.
Higher value in action scene, war scene, explosives scene, intense scene and surprisingly, bitter-comedic scene.
You’ll get chuckles in catchphrases, yet this is a collosal drama... how smart is that!!!
This drama is on another higher level. It deserves awards.
Dialogues in the drama is so fluid when telling heavy ideas. And complicated bickering between leads is brought to screen strangely light yet in-depth manner. Even though it was describing such a complicated plots. Are the good guys the bad? Will the bad guys turned good? Are we taking sides with the heroes? Are we doubting our heroes?
Each episode builds more story line and takes you on a high. Remember, this is a story of 1 (one) day.

Fortius.
Let’s talk about cast. Jackson Yi, I adore you. Li Bi is how you define strong thoughts. Genius. Fragile in trust. And no one, I mean no one should do it but him. Mr. Jackson Yi.
As for our heroes. Standing ovations, indeed.
Strong casts in this drama brings spectacular aspects which leads the storylines to our tv screens as if we’re watching a masterpiece painting in the works. Colors emerged and shapes develops. All in strong lines and movements. Very defining.

What I get this drama is. Greatness. And wanting for more...
