It has been a while since I've seen a K-Drama and have to admit, this was exceptionally well done. Hye-kyo was incredible and the rest of the supporting cast was flawless.
The story builds nicely and a nice justaposition between the main story and a side love story as well. Insanely beautiful actors and nice use of props as well.
Note: there are definitely some scenese that are hard to watch due to the violence so be forewarned. Still, it is absolutley necessary and I won't call it excessive.
Pretty amazing how quickly 8 episodes flew by. Simply brilliant acting and writing. Can't wait for the rest but an easy 10/10 stars for me.
