If you can get past the first 30 minutes...

Wow. What a journey.

This won't be a proper review per say, but more just a quick recollection of thoughts.

My Country is probably the best sageuk historical Korean drama in recent memory.

The story mainly revolves around the disparity in between the lower class and the royals and upper class which makes for intriguing story about power, status, and revenge, and how past relationships, friendship and love affect each individual character's goal throughout the story.

It is also, in essence, a slight fantasy, with characters able to accurately shoot arrows from hundreds of yards away, and being so strong they can easily defeat multiple enemies i.e. plot armour. But it's not over the top, (like for instance in "The Great Battle").

That said, I have to say that I was extremely skeptical for the first half of episode 1, about not just the story but the characters as well. But I can say with extreme certainty that it gets a lot better if you can persevere a little.

Shout out to Seolhyun, who I thought didn't suit her character and wouldn't have the acting skill required to digest such a role, but she did a stellar job, with, from what I could remember, not a single awkward acting scene (at least past episode 1).

The bromance which I thought was also a little weird at the start grew on me quick, and is absolutely a focal point throughout the drama.

Watch this drama - you will not regret it.
