I don't understand why The Kingdom of the Winds is so underrated-it's unfair. In some ways, it's even better than Jumong and Emperor of the Sea. The biggest strength of this series is its sad and tragic story. It's so emotional that it can make you cry.
The soundtrack is also amazing. Tracks like Main Theme and Mohyul Theme are a mix of sadness and epic vibes, which match the show's tone perfectly. The visuals are stunning, and the epic moments in the series sometimes outshine other historical dramas. As someone who loves epic series, this is one of my favorites.
However, the series isn't perfect. Yeon's character suffers from a lack of development and clear purpose. While her storyline had great potential, it often feels inconsistent and poorly handled, as if she's just moving from one event to another without much depth. This weakens some parts of the overall story.
That said, the other characters are incredible. Bae geuk and Daeso, in particular, stand out and leave a incredible impression. I also love how the series shows the struggles of Mohyul and the weight he carries as a tragic hero. It captures the pain and sacrifice of leadership so well.
Overall, The Kingdom of the Winds is an epic and emotional drama that deserves more love. Its mix of tragedy, strong characters, and breathtaking music makes it a must-watch for fans of epic historical dramas.
