This is the first English sub Kdrama I've watched years ago and I decided to watch it for the second time, I still felt the ups and down emotions... let's forget about the cinematography, it's still a good production way back in that year. I don't know why there are some who only seeks for a perfect love story and happy endings....
This drama shows how betrayal and greediness affects the innocent people and crumbled a whole family, separation of siblings...
Why can't they see in reality it still reflects in our society; why there are rebels and how they became one. How do this people show their ideology in unjust governance, corruption, conflict and seeking for true justice, and then there are some powerful people manipulated and used them as bait to gain their selfish desires... but still there are some of them shows patriotism and sincerity not only for the government but for the people.
SPOILER ALERT: Chae-Ok suppressed her own feelings for Hwang-Bo despite of knowing his love for her because she was regarded as low class in the society and she respect him so much.. and the blood leap between the siblings (Chae-Ok and Seong-Baek) which confused them for romantic love... Seong-Baek was shocked after finding out that Chae-Ok is his long lost sister, how can he face his sister after he became cruel and ruthlessly killed those people who are close to her... So he'd rather die in her hands before telling her who he really was... sadly Cha-Ok.........................
