I say this drama is one of the best and I clearly mean it. The drama itself is not any special from any of it's predecessors in the historical martial arts genre and it kinda looks the same as any other drama clearly but only a deeper insight into the drama opened my eyes.
One thing I'd like to put across is that this is probably te last drama of this type that we'll ever see. Don't get me wrong, there will definitely be better dramas than this but the storyline was one of a kind. I mean, it wasn't as stereotypical as the rest and I'd even stretch this to saying it was an original idea. You look at most dramas and all they encircle is a kingdom or a sect but this one just seemed to be hanging in the air with no or less strings attached to royal families and other ideas from the dramas before. It was a masterclass so to say for such a short drama that basically aimed at doing it's own thing and I rate that highly.
It's a very much worth your time drama and massively recommend it. I have nothing much to say but please watch this rare and distinguished drama. Trust me you'll love it.
