by | September 6, 2010 | 29 Comments
This is a really well-done drama. Suspenseful, taut, and wonderfully produced. In addition to a story that intrigues, Joseon X-Files is really great to look at — love the pacing, the cinematography, the contrast of colors and light. It’s an example of a drama not just being pretty for the sake of pretty, but using... More »
