I started this show with very little expectations as it had very few star ratings and no reviews at all, but when I read the description, it piqued my curiosity and I decided to watch an episode or two...and before I knew it, I'd watched 4 and a half hours of this show in one day.
I think the acting all around is fantastic! I loved the main characters, Sam-sik and Kim San. There was a solid amount of action that was well balanced with what was going on politically in South Korean politics in the late 1950's/early 60's (and even if the characters are fake, it's still an interesting glimpse into that time in history.
I may have found this mini series more interesting than some people might, due to the fact that my Grandfather served in the Korean war. He was an incredible man but a man of very few words when it came to talking about his time there.
It was a little bit challenging trying to read the subtitles in English because I wasn't reading quite fast enough before it switched to the next subtitles, but after an episode or 2, I was able to keep up.
I haven't finished the entire show yet (since half of it hasn't been released at this time) but I'm now on episode 8, and I feel like I enjoy the show more with every episode I watch. Well done to everyone involved and I'd recommend watching this.
