I recently finished watching a period Korean drama on KBS and what a tale it is. What started out as an unassuming love story evolved into an epic tale of love, revenge and power. It had the right mix of light-heartedness, tense action-packed moments as well as heart wrenching tragedy, which sets it apart from other Korean dramas which in my opinoin, are either too sappy or too tragic (I'm always a fan of the comedic, light-hearted ones). There's quite a bit of violence that I could do without but it realistically portrays the senselessness and helplessness evident in more ancient times. The lines are well written and what's more impressive is that the overall quality in terms of the lines and acting as well as plotline, remain the same from the beginning until the very end. The soundtrack is a mix of original score and current K-pop fare which works incredibly well together in bringing the scenes to life. Overall, a great production :D
