I usually watch crime action dramas so this is absolutely different from my usual kdrama genre to go. It is a slow quiet emotional one, however, because everyone can relate to the same topic, death. While death is a sad topic in everyone's life, we need to face it someday. Most people find it difficult to talk about it but let's be real, you can't run away from death. And for those who already lost someone, you need to be able to move on so this drama has some scenes that probably trigger a lot of sad memories and emotions. The first episode already pull. Me back when my dog need to be put to sleep. The vet said something very similar to what my sister said to me when I was crying and calling up my family to inform them about our family pet who loved with me. It all brings me back to that moment and oh well, hate to say this but it does makes me really upset but at the same time it's just because you know she's right. It was selfish to hang on to them for own wants while they are in pain. It's just 1 year ago, it still feels like it was few night ago. I love that this drama has storyline that hit close to our heart. And it actually brings some hope to ourselves that we could face death one day, in a less negative way. On the side not, I think Ji Chang Wook and Sung Dong Il makes a perfect duo. And let's just appreciate that it all actors are willing to make diversified choices in the roles they are taking. He isn't acting for an award. He is choosing a story and a character that he wants to and felt close to. People need to move on adn respect his choices.

Well damn the little boy's acting deserves thumbs up! I like that a hallyu k star like Ji Chang-wook take up a villain's role. It is unusual as most of them sticks to the handsome ceo Prince role but chang wook explore different roles which I had to give extra credits for his passions in his acting career. His screen time is very little, but I feel he make the most out of it. Apart from acting, I also like the part where the daughter was quick witted and smart and wanna stay put with her father. A heartbreaking scene where made me tears. And the story reminds us of our own actions. Karma always hit you hard. And treasure family time. Love it.

Haven't had a great kdrama in historical settings for a loooooong time. I mean there a many good ones but this is art. A masterpiece of art. You know what I mean? 😁

One of the best kdrama I have ever watched! Discovered Kim Nam Gil from Live Up to Your Name. Acting was on point. Now this, oh gosh, KNG looks much much better in this series as fiery priest, he's brought the character so alive, can't wait to follow his other drama/movie projects. This drama deserves multiple thumbs up!

Movie is great but Jeon Do Yeon doesn't play her role well here. Her voice is just too soft. She got the look, just her voice doesn't match up the character.
