I can’t help but like the flashy movie-style sageuk. I mean…I’m not a sageuk fans. They make me go to sleep, as it’s very very long-winded most of the time, though I do find a few that really make me say “wow”…it’s rare though. Maybe I don’t have the patience for them to get to the point. I also like drama and comedy stuff…

But I’ll be looking forward to this. I liked the background music. I hope it’ll keep my interest long enough for me to really enjoy it….Wonder which of the two productions will be the best.

I hope you recap at least the first few episodes so I know if I should take the plunge.

Wow…this looks like it has much potential. I appreciate that this trailer didn’t reveal too much. Thanks. For such a movie, I think it depends on your mood and your preference in genre…right now I’ll agree with beng Says: and take really awesome choreagraphed action and cinematography over possibly excellent yet overdone acting.

Lee Jung Ki’s getting there as an actor, but he and his 2 partners were (badly) miscast for Time Between Dog and Wolf. He demonstrated that same kind of preening, shallow anger in his performance for May 18th, but at least there it was right for his character.

LJK is kinda like the Kiera Knightley of K-drama/K-film. Too much too early and often way of his depths, but he’s putting on a good fight, and someday he’ll actually fill out into the roles his success has afforded him. And I think he’s right to play Iljimae.

Well, maybe Lee Jun Ki’s version will be more action packed given that he’s a martial art expert. On the other hand, Seong Gi’s might be more on drama since he is more a singer and drama actor. But if given the choice between the 2, i would vote for a more action one and less drama for LJK. He tends to overact as seen in his last Kdrama, Time between dog and wolf.

Lee Jun Ki and Park Shi Hoo? How can you not watch it?

Well, we’ll see how it turns out. I really enjoy watching Lee Junki, so I’ll definitely be checking out the first couple episodes.

This is interesting: “writer Choi Ran, whose credits run toward more educational programming…”

On the plus side, for people who appreciate accuracy, logic, and some semblance of realism in their dramas, this could be a good thing. But exciting, addictive? I don’t want to jump to any conclusions based on writers’ past experience, so I guess…we’ll see how it turns out
