what leanne got to say this time:
just started watching this show on the channel u 10pm from mon to fri.
the constant advertisement on this show made some of us crazy
but i knew it was a good show from the start ,
with the very nice guy from my girl
[he because more handsome and macho]
and the very interesting plot going on [ who would think of having a thief for the main character?]
i can feel the gunpowder and the love right from the start
and it is a very kungfu drama too..but u may feel that it is very boring @ the beginning
[persevere or else jump episodes]
but the director managed to capture good scenes and edit them very well to the extent that i like the style a lot.
capturing our hearts from the first to the last.
after some research i realised that there will be another similar drama from MBC so
i am not very sure if i am going to watch it or not.
but anyways i totally like the fighting scenes and also the part where all the love kicks in.
though i did felt a little sad and disappointed abt how things ended.
[ for a sec i thought Iljimae died]
and if there is a second season i would be the one queuing to watch it.
got a lot of inspiration from the drama.
nice show and watch it!
