Well they are there, almost with no dialgoue or screen time but it was so fun trying to spot them out of the other guards.The period is the late 14th century, and the last waning gasp of the centuries-old Goryeo Dynasty.
Well, I know that Song Joong Ki and No Min Woo are in the cast. The cast did a great job here and I applaud every single person. Regardless of the nudity and the sexually explicit scenes, the film is worth watching. The sense of loss and how it empties us of our souls is engraved on the characters' forheads. The absurdity of life is inscribed on every scene. The story is too real it got me totally absorbed in the suffering of everyone. As Hong Lim and the queen make love trying to conceive, a new world opens up to them, and the tragedy starts.įaced by betrayal, loneliness, abandoment, the king seeks revenge against everyone first of all, against the one who meant the world to him, Hong Lim. Only trusting in his loyal lover and friend, he gives Hong Lim the task. He decides to make someone impregnate his wife (Song Ji Hyo). With his country and throne on the line, the king resorts to one last option.
Yeah I know!! When these are the two leads!! The king's lover and the one who's captured his heart for a long time is the Chief of the king's guards Hong Lim (Zo In Sung). (Again, if you cannot accept or respect homosexuality, don't start this). The king can't have an heir due to the fact that he's homosexual.
So it's Goryeo –back before they tied their hair up, to our great advantage- and the king (Joo Jin Mo) is under the threat of losing his authority as an active king since Yuan –the empire in control- wants an heir to the throne.
If you can't get too real, don't start it. It's TOO real, the bloodshed scenes, the battle scenes and the love scenes. The first thing I have to point out that this drama might not suit everybody's taste. But this is no ordinary historical film with an outstanding cast. Rewatch Value 10 I started this film for two reasons the cast and the fact that it's a sageuk.
