High expectations with a deviated storyline
Well, when i read the title gunman in Joseon, i was filled with curiosity about how was Joseon by using guns and in its last period, i don't know if it is related to some historical facts, however it seemed cool and insightful. The cast was bursting with the presence of lee joon ki, jeon hye bin, yo oh sung and Han joo wan, they all did a very good job especially lee joon ki as wonderful as always, the actress nam sang mi who portrayed the first female lead didn't fit as i saw shyness in her shape and her look wasn't pretty in the drama as jeon hye bin was, i wished she were the first female lead.
Passing to the story, it was interesting as plot, i didn't like the fact of a righteous rebellion for those who carry enlightenment as title, the fact that many died isn't good also, sacrifices were in vain, the death of the second female lead is sad as she totally leaned on her father after she was betrayed by yoon kang and his harsh response to her love since she was the daughter of his enemy and father killer.Hye won gathered a loathsome spirit against yoon kang for his misdeeds with her and when he shoot her unarmed father(which is unethical) to kill him luckily bulletproof saved him. She deserved to be loved by yoon kang more than so in, i hated this point in the drama because when your life from the beginning was a shit in your childhood, you managed to escape to a better life by becoming a merchant or your father in order to gain had to lean on the higher up and do misdeeds unlike you to keep his position and life .
After the coup failed, everyone was scattered, choi woo chin versus yoon kang fighting spirit to the end was amazing although the first one had it broken after the death of his daughter(maybe he killed her by fault). I loved the modern clothes of the Japanese people and how yoon kang wore a suit in a Joseon traditionnel era, he appeared really cool in it ;but to keep the love story unharmed So in stayed alive while the poor hye won was dead which is very disgusting and down.
If the infrastructure of the drama and the storyline were more bravely shaped, it may had increased my rating to it...
