so far i've watch until episode 5 only and im still on the process of watching. from the story value i gave the rating of 10, well it's the typical hero plot and it's not new were the protagonist started as an antagonist, i knew i've watch something like this before. but because im a fan of old things, like watching jang geum, dong yi and the likes so i gave this 10, and i am very curious on what is life of koreans during japanese occupation, since in my country we had been occupied by the japanese too until we are saved by the americans during those times, so i am very curious to know too how is it for the koreans. for the actors who played the role, i am mainly focusing my attention to the lead roles like joo won and the girl mok dan, can't remember here real name, shunji's brother and shunji. joo won's acting in my opinion is superb, the way he acts as the bad guy during episode 1 made me hate him soo much that i actually had goosebumps on that particular scene, where he was on a horse telling orders from the midgets to face the other way and draw their swords cause the joseon people won't grieve the death of that prominent person. he can actually act people seriously. mok dan, is she a new actress? i don't know but i have this feeling that her acting is lacking somewhere, her facial expression for me is lacking. same goes to shunji, and he looks like that japanese mc. but for shunji's brother i like him i like how he acts the baddest, and his facial expression the way he lift his eye brow make me want to puch him that much, his stupid ego and all. and tsk tsk i forgot kang to's brother, how can i forget him, his an old actor right so no wonder he portray's the role very well, but since im not really a fan of his, im kind a like don't like him that much, he made kang to's life miserable, that's my opinion only. im sorry i can't focus on the music yet, so i gave it 8. for the rewatchable, im not a fan of repeating, so i don't want to repeat it again. it's the kind of story u woundn't want to repeat because it's full of sorrow. over all i love it, so i gave it 10. ^^ it's 9 episodes so it's still far, my opinions might change in the future...
