I recommend this series to those who can watch a long and slow paced story. I actually watched this series without knowing that it was divided into three parts and that it will be a major cliffhanger because it has season two.

First, I will talk about what I liked about the series.
1. The visual effects and cinematography. It's gory but with just enough gore unlike Game of Thrones. 2. It's refreshing to see ethnic tribal cultures in a korean drama. While watching it, I can't help but hope that Local TV in my country can make something like this, maybe in the future? Lol I'm from Philippines btw.

One thing that I'm not really fond with this drama is its pacing. I get what the writers, producers and directors are trying to do here. They need to build and show every character relationships, arcs and developments and that's okay. I'd love to see all that and I don't want it look rushed like *ehem* Game of thrones *ehem* If you've already watched GoT, you'll know where I'm coming from lol. But I think there are scenes that's too long and needs to be cut. There's too many fillers. Maybe its intended because they needed to make it 1 hour and 19 minutes long, I understand that too. Personally, I've watched similar dramas like this in the past and with more seasons or episodes (Game of Thrones and Queen Seon Deok) and I'm only teenager that time. I have more patience and time in the past maybe that's why I finished those series and it didn't bore me idk hahaha but now I don't think I can do that anymore. So I'm hoping that netflix won't drag the story for too long and we get the climax and ending on season two.

Overall its a really good series! If you have a knack for politics, history (not really) and a bit of gore, watch this.
