Don't listen to those who say this is like Game of Thrones. These types of dramas existed in Korea way before G.O.T. For example, Yi San anyone? Plotting, scheming, betrayals, etc. within a country were all too familiar and masterfully done in many Korean dramas for many decades. This drama is a loose depiction of Asadal (the first Korean mythical/historical city) and the founding of Bear and Tiger tribes. Anyway, the first three episodes were really boring, but you have to watch them to know what the background is. Episodes 4 and 5 pick up a bit but the really interesting story starts at episodes 6 and above.
