I've seen so many movies, and recently some cool K-dramas, but never has a couple or story stayed in my mind this way. Proibably because this drama is so complex as it transmits so many feelings and gives you reasons to think about....about destiny, circumstances, love, life and death. About how the story begins and how it ends. After I've seen the ending I thought about it again and again...

I don't regret having spent my time watching this masterpiece for 60 hours: The actors were beyond great. The lines, the action scenes, the villains especially Mishil, the bit of wisdom and slight romance, and that tragic ending... Everything was done right. I did not skip a single scene considering that it was a really long series. Every single episode was perfection.

It is one of most intelligent movies. Delicate, profound, labyrinth with walls from Borges world, lush, silky, sharp, hidden, full of light, wise, nuances of good and evil, map for power force, seductive, mixture of romance and fight, hope and crumbs of desire.Dictionary of strange definitions for common words. Sea of gold and night. Scene for gorgeous Hyun-jung Go in the role of Misil.She is the axis, heart and soul of entire movie. As picture of evil and its masks. As ambiguous limit between victim and killer. As a kind of haiku. A unique film for its beauty and subtle recipes of life as shadow collection. A parable about present in skin of past facts. A play in which the public is just actor. A smoke column in a late autumn evening.

This story focuses more on Deokman's struggle to become queen and fight against Mishil. And it's spiced up with a little bit of romance where the female lead ends up falling in love with the second male lead. Very rare. I love Bidam, he's the most complex character I've ever seen in a drama and he makes this story more interesting, he's my all time favorite character. Overall, this story is awesome and really unforgettable with great casts.

I love this series because they don't waste a second there is not single scene that not feel belonged or not need and the acting is amazing every thing is amazing yes there is a lot of myths in first episode but later in the show they show you how they faked it

It's getting mesmerizing as you start watch this drama again. And learn something new every rewatching period, full of historical details and secrets. Changes human's psychology. Demonstrates Korean old Rulers' biography, heritages of ancient kings, their soothsayings. Emphasizes women power, peoples' conscience, politicians' mindset and inner world and so on. The scenes are exciting as the storyline grows naturally, gives dark vibe. On top of it, each actor acts like a main character. The show is rich in fascinating background music themes and color combinations, costumes, places, values... What a masterpiece! Original work of art that everyone should watch before die!
