I don't watch faith dramas because of Lee Min Ho or Kim Hee Sun. I watched the drama, because previously it was played for Lee Joon Gi before the agency sent him to do military service. Joongi is the prince of historical dramas, so i really wanted to see him in the drama after knowing the synopsis. Lee Min Ho did a very good acting, i agree. But the problem here is that fans mistake Choi Young's character for their own imagination. I totally agree with @imjacouple x acc way of thinking, Choi Young's character wasn't created just for Yoo Eun Soo's character. But Eun Soo's character was created for Choi Young. I've also bought the book in Japanese, although here we see Eunsoo appear more often than the other characters. Actually the main character is Choi Young, everything Eunsoo does is for Choi Young, but not everything Choi Young does is for Eunsoo.

For me, this acc really understands each character THE BEST, the fact that s/he has the Korean version of the book and s/he said that s/he didn't come to this drama because of Lee Min Ho, but instead s/he liked Lee Min Ho because of this drama. All prove that s/he understands. But i will not tell the story of this drama. I just want to say that the characters in this drama (especially Choi Young) are misunderstood by some Lee Min Ho fans. For the first time i found a logical fan of this drama, @imjacouple acc

All the fans chattered about the love story, but s/he really explained the meaning of the king to the warrior choi young. I think s/he is still kind enough not to say everything bluntly, i read the novel before watching the drama. And what i feel here is that the country is Choi Young's main priority, not Eunsoo. That's what made me like this drama, not their love story, but Choi Young's character who really looks like a real man. Not obsessed, not greedy, not thirsty for intimacy (with his lover).

That acc really understands Gongmin and Young's friendship, s/he really understands it than other fans of this drama. I'm not talking about opinions, I'm talking about misinterpreted fvcking facts.
