    Well... I am writing this review completely depressed because I finished yet another amazing drama, and now it's going to be hard for me to find a new one...

    Ok, I'll start with the small things first, but if you really want my actual opinion, just skip to the story part. Music. I thought it was pretty good, but then again, music is one of the small things I pay attention to... But, seeing how it didn't disturb the scenes in any way, but rather added more emotion into them, I give music a ten.

    Acting/Cast. Oh gosh. What can I say? For me, I think all the actors were absolutely amazing. If I were to recast this, I couldn't imagine the story with any other

    There is plenty of drama and action and many great characters. The characters are made memorable by a set of brilliant actors.

    The story is good, though at times, (like after several major characters pass away) it seemed as if there isn't much for the plot to go on. Then new problems were created and the story goes along.

    The transformation of Baek Dong Soo from a deformed kid to the stunning warrior is a long journey, and is shown through the course of the drama with realism and beauty.
    The character of Yeo Woon, who is the other pillar of the drama, is equally strong and leaves an impression.

    Among the characters, The Sky Lord and Sword Saint are very impressive. The female characters are

  • They are both Heart wrenching, action packed Historical dramas centered around the life of a young man during a power struggle in the Joseon Dynasty.

  • they both have opposite male characters. It's interesting that both of them love the same woman and try to protect her in their own way. But, Warrior Baek Dong Soo deals with friendship and political power struggles while Hong Gil Dong with rightness and beliefs.

    Wasn't even a bit disappointing. If you think about it, there weren't any other ways to end it. I actually think the ending fit perfectly.

    this show was really good, the ending was a bit of a disappointment, and didn't like the lead actress that played the role of Ji Sun at all! Everyone in this drama were amazing actors, except for her I think. She's pretty and all, but she needs to seriously improve on acting. and Ji Chang Wook is one of the most exceptional actors ever! The way he matures from a playful teen to a serious adult was incredible.

    Just finished ep 29 and am done banging my head on the table...
    I'm used to unsatisfying endings, but this was one of the worst and most frustrating endings I've ever seen.
    But it was still a great Drama with wonderful soundtrack and amazing characters, so I won't regret watching. I will just make up a different ending in my head!
  • Tsuyu Oct 22, 2011
    Absolutely loved this drama!! The ending was a bit disappointing, but hey... it is based of a true story so, there is no changing the facts. Nevertheless, I was definitely pulled into this historical drama and I highly recommend it.
