This was exceptional beyond words. I don't like subtitled films let alone 55 episodes of subtitles but this I was just immediately immersed into. There's something about the History and the dynasty that is so captivating and intriguing you just need to watch more. The storyline is unpredictable and the twists and turns take you on a journey you won't forget. It's an education watching it understanding is another facets to this beautiful story. I wish it never ends ... I feel I'll watch it again as I'm sure you will find out more second time around !
This work of art only explores the multitute of human emotions laying bare the complexity of human interactions and the unpredictability of life in every possible way that it feels wanting for more even after 50 episodes.
I was really scared and hesitant to watch 50 episodes drama but I couldn't hold back from watching yoo ah in as amazing actor... And oh boy I wasn't not disappointed, as someone who gets bored pretty fast I couldn't find one boring episode or one unrequired scene, that's how amazing the drama was.
Three of the dragons are real historical people and three were fiction(mo hyol, le bang ji, booni) but as I read later on about the foundation of josen... The drama was REALLY close to the historic events. It was a valuable lesson on the Korean history and they made it really interesting to watch.
This drama is just soo well written,well acted that it will make you go on a roller coaster of feelings, 50 episodes may appear as if it's a lot,i swear that it is faar from being enough
Extremely well written series. I loved all the characters with their good and bad. You get to see an amazing story and character development, you will get to love and hate the same character multiple times. Game of thrones is nothing compared to this!

The flight of the dragons is the Joseon dynasty's rise in accordance with "the Mandate of Heaven."
