I'm not good at reviews and this is my first time writing one, since someone told me to make it official from the comments. But words cannot express how much I fell inlove with this drama and I hope one day, whenever any of you get the chance you come across it, you will see it, or you will feel the same way as I after finishing it.

Here is a list of why I enjoyed this drama and why you should definitely check it out!


1. I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP!
I love how the writer showed that even though Seo Hwi and Nam Sun Ho were influenced by different beliefs, and once enemies to each other, and caused terrible pain to each other, they never once forgot where they came from and who was there for them, which was each other at the end of the day. Even when hell came falling in, they even tried to understand each other in times when they didn't want to listen, and went against everything to save each other from their own mistakes, and deaths too. That even if they were enemies they could never bare to lose each other in the mist of their beliefs and views of the world. And that showed how powerful and true their friendship was and I loved every bit of it.


2. THE ENDING THAT BROKE US ALL
If I were to describe it, I would say it was beautiful, yet haunting. Honestly speaking, they [WILL NOT STATE NAMES FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET] deserved sooooo much better, and if I could give it to them, I would. I'm sure those who have watched it ended up crying, and I'll admit, I was one of those people. I cried for a good minute. And in that minute, I was hating THAT character, wishing I could jump into the drama as a witch or something and grant them the happiness they deserved. And it truly broke my heart watching their stories develop into a bittersweet ending that makes you feel hopeless for a little, but then I end up smiling as I remember how beautiful their stories were told and treasured.

3. THE ACTING
Everything was amazing and everyone played their characters soo well, that if I were to meet any of these Actors and Actresses today, I would end up accidentally calling them by their character's name. The story plot played well, giving enough twist and action to fulfill your needs. The cinema was perfect! As someone who's interested in film, I loved it all including the colors that framed the story and the way it was filmed that truly gives you that P.O.V angle that helps give a greater understanding to each character's emotions in those hectic moments.

CON

There weren't many cons for me since I enjoy Historical Fiction dramas/films, but there was one that couldn't sit with my well. And that was the love interest between Seo Hwi and Han Hee Jae. I'm not sure what is was, but I felt as if their relationship was missing something. Chemistry perhaps. To me, they didn't feel like someone who's in love or a couple at all, they felt more like close friends who had each other's back who in certain moments wanted to love each other more than friends, but it just didn't work out that great. Don't get me wrong, the actors both did amazing jobs with their characters and YASSSSS to Kim Seol Hyunn playing a bad-ass female character, but together as a couple wasn't it.

BUT
never the less, I love this story all throughout and will watch it many times over! Please check out this drama or you will miss out on a beautiful story regardless of what you've heard!!!!
