To say the least I absolutely fucking LOVE (x100) this drama and has earned it way to my favorite drama of ALL TIME. Lee Seung ki you little rascal, you made it to my top kdrama list again!
Anyways I actually stayed up for 24 hours straight watching this 24 episode 1 hour each. BUT IT WAS WORTH ALL THE SLEEP I SACRIFICED!
Story Line:
The start of the drama wasn't about Kang Chi (Lee Seung Ki) but way before his time. It was the story of his parents. I think it was great for them to start the drama out with us having the knowledge of his parents story instead of us trying to figure it out. They didn't want us confused and truthfully it was very luring. I love the whole tragic love story. Also his birth and name meaning was something that was good in putting in the start of the drama. the transition into Kang Chi's life was smooth and well thought out. His first love and etc. basically his whole life. And the whole history repeats itself. The ending was well thought out as well.
This drama did confused me at some times which was the whole Tae Seo betrayal and stuff.
But that does not mean that this drama doesn't not have a good story line. It can even be one of those drama's that had one of THE best story ever.
the drama twist i was completely taken back by was his parents were ALIVE!
Acting:
The actors and actresses were great.
Choi Jin Hyuk who played Wol Ryung was awesome as a devine creature and a 1,000 year old demon.
Suzy has considerably improved since her Dream High days.
Lee yeon Hee as young Seo Hwa was so pretty and innocent which coincides with her character perfectly and cant wait to watch her in her upcoming drama with Taeckyeon of 2PM.
Speaking of Seo Hwa her older was portrayed by Yoon Se Ah
Lee Seung Ki was Lee Seung Ki and expected nothing less from him
Costumes + setting:
I have been coming to love historic drama's. Ever since Arang and the Magistrate I have come to really fall in love with these dramas. So the beautiful Hanboks were amazing and the setting just put everything together
