Great direction cinematography music.

It is raw and dark compared to other period cdramas and there it got me hooked, though I did not like it from the beginning (Some things seemed a bit off at first 10 episodes or more). But as it unfolds piece by piece and the characters mature...well love them or hate them, you choose. Second and third characters were surprisingly interesting. Even if they do not add up to the big picture I liked that they took the time to unfold some side stories.

The ending was quite rushed for such a slow burning show. And I do not understand how a woman can pretend to be a man like that...

All in all, I cried, I was on edge and I truly enjoyed it.
