This is certainly not a serious drama, it's pure ridiculous comedy and there were some parts that had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears.
The cast were perfectly fitted to their roles; I was shook by how well Lee Gwang Soo actually did (although really his character wasn't THAT drastically different from his own personality) and Jung So Min did really well here too. Every character was wild in their own way and each of the actors portrayed it wonderfully.
There were also several cameos that had me squealing, Song Joong Ki, Kim Jong Kook, Jung Joon Young. I wasn't expecting them so I was completely caught off-guard and delighted!
The whole drama was an adventure and I was somewhat sad when it ended, I wasn't ready to let go.
The episodes are really short so it was a super quick and entertaining watch. If you're looking for some light comedy to brighten up your day, this is 100% the drama to choose!

This drama focuses not on romance, but more heavily on politics with plenty of action scenes thrown in there for good measure. The action scenes were very well done and I found myself thrilled most of the time, my eyes absolutely glued to the screen. The music matched each moment perfectly and the soundtrack is one that will certainly stick with me for a long time to come.
If Warrior Baek Dong Soo had perhaps been a few episodes shorter, maybe it would have become a masterpiece. But unfortunately it wasn't, and although I was completely in love with this sageuk, I found myself struggling through the last few episodes and there was that small tinge of relief when it finally finished. Because of this, I feel like the rewatch value would be ridiculously low here - I definitely don't see myself having the attention span to go through this again. The memories of the drama are positive ones though.
The acting was brilliant. It's safe to say the reason I chose this drama in the first place was because of Yoo Seung Ho and Ji Chang Wook and I certainly wasn't disappointed. They fit the roles splendidly, and Choi Min Soo played an even more amazing character that simply blew me away.
I laughed, I cried, and I don't regret watching it. Overall I'd say it was a very good watch, I just wish the excitement from the beginning could have made it all the way to the end.
