One of the better dramas of 2011. The highlight of the drama was the array of interesting and well written characters. Also, the acting in the drama was top notch. But then again we are talking about Jang Hyuk and Han Suk Kyu and Song Joong Ki here. All very charismatic and intense actors in their own ways. The cinematography was an absolute delight for the eyes. The settings and the costumes used in the drama series were exquisite. The plot was engaging and full of the appropriate twists and turns. Who knew that a sageuk about Hangul (sounds like a snooze fest at face value) could be so amazing? My only gripe is that the story started to lose my a bit of my interest towards the last quarter. Other than that, a wonderful and engaging drama series.
