The funny thing is, I initially wasn't overly interested in it. The premise was definitely interesting, but I didn't really trust KES with a sageuk (and still don't, TBH, this was just obviously a period she was really, really interested in) and Lee Byung Hoon...I mean, he's an excellent actor but a rather icky person. It ended up possibly my second favorite kdrama last year after SKY Castle.

Fittingly enough, Gunner Jang is playing a revolutionary in the upcoming Mung Bean Flower, which is about the Donghak Rebellion that takes place during the time skip between tiny Eugene and adult Eugene, and results in the reforms that put the Pawn Shop Uncles in the pawn shop business after they couldn't be soft hearted slave catchers (if there is such a thing) anymore.
