The story line begins very interesting and kept us on our feet the whole time. Its a great show without the unnecessary what nots. Did Yeon really have to jump into the samdo, did Lee Rang have to sell his life. The fact that Ji A had Yeon to protect her an Yeon had Rang to save him was the saddest for Rang. Yes he was a villian but, I understand his pain. Worst of all or fortunately maybe, he had no one absolutely no romantic love to cry or weep over his death. I dare say romantic because he had family love to mourn his death. Again without the unnecessary dying is a show to watch.
i must say imoogi also has a sad past, part of him needed love and the fact that the watcher of the samdo son dared to listen to him and understand his pain is not a surprise, but plaguing his wife now I want to understand but it could be him getting annoyed at the fact that he had no one to love him hence blinded by jealousy only ending the life of the only person who dared to listen to him.
Over roll it had a better ending as compared to other supernatural kdramas. 3 stars because it made me cry before the end and the end is not the end but the beginning. Yeon is still a fox hence the happy ending isn't a happy ending but the beginning of a sad ending. Plus I wanted to see their child
