5 of 5 for story and I really like that this is a very interesting period in Korean history.
What I am disappointed at is the way the movie is directed: it jumps around too abruptly from one scene to another. Insane. From romantic scene then jumped to something totally not related and felt so odd watching that as it keeps happening. Movie should flow better.
The romance, oh dear where do I start. The staring at each other ALL THE TIME, the not talking, the OMG can’t you just hug each other at least. The expressions to me were almost non existent until the last few episode. No chemistry is felt from the two main characters Go Ae Sin and Eugene Choi plus I don’t think they even match. The girl’s face look like a teenager. Not match with the mature male character.
I love the character Gu Dong Mae and Hina Kudo a lot more than the main characters.
Why? In my opinion they act better, they communicated better with their expressions.. Second, I think they are better looking too.
Overall, I still enjoyed this series. Really interesting period and what a tough era to be living in as Korean.
