This is one of the BEST sageuks (사극) I have ever watched! I would recommend this drama again and again. I will watch this drama again and again (so uncharacteristic of me). The editing, the cinemaphotography, the directing, the acting, the wardrobe, etc., were superb! I could go on and on about how much this drama helped to end my 2021 with warm fuzzy feelings and start my 2022 with renewed faith in my super hobby (Asian drama watching); however, I suggest that if you have not watched The Red Sleeve or haven't tried a Korean drama, let this be your first of 2022.
