iols dah tgk 3 episod pertama...
citer ni heavy & sedih...
not for everyone...
tapi good production...
pasal penindasan yg berlaku pada kurun ke-16 dulu...
kerja tapi tak dibagi upah...dah tu hasil yg diorg dpt kena songlap dgn bandits yg mengawal kawasan tu...
kalau zaman skrg mcm kongsi gelaplah...
pelakon2 & cinematography memang nmpk mcm real authentic zaman Joseon dulu...
including Rowoon...dia rela menghodohkan diri dia utk bawak watak Siyul dlm citer ni...
cuma Shin Ye Eun yg masih nmpk cantik, tapi itu pun mekap dia nipis...
