This is my very first Asian drama I watched and the review is for my second time watching it. This drama is just epic, deep and heavy, although the story line is somewhat unsatisfying to me, but this is personal taste. First, the drama gives a lot of time screen on political discussion which becomes boring after sometime. Moreover, the OTP do not come together until way later of the drama, thus I can agree with reviews stating there is no strong chemistry between OTP. Not that I complain too much, cos most part of the drama dominated by the superb acting of child actors Yeo Jin Goo and Kim Yoo Jung as the young OTP. In fact, the scene cut on how they first met is the main draw for me watching the show. Finally, I don't like deaths of good roles why have to make this drama so tragic. Despite my dislikes, excellent acting of main and supporting actors/actresses, beautiful cinematography and costume, and nice music built up the eminence of this drama.
