I am barely 15 minutes in but I am obsessed and mesmerized by this. If this keeps up, this might be the best drama I've seen this year. Smart and fast and so intense. And Jang Hyuk. Jang Hyuk. Nobody can do intense the way he can. Or look as dangerous and desperate at the same time.

Anyway, I am in love.

Have a MV:

LOL if you're already in love barely into ep. 1, you'll be flailing and gasping for your life by ep. 12. And let's not even get into ep. 14. :) We need a 12-step program for fans of Kang Chae-Yoon/Ddolbok, most badass hero of the year.

So thrilled you're giving this a chance, and glad it's not going to fail you.

It's wonderful. I am actually trying to get my husband to watch, which would make only his third kdrama (others being Hong Gil Dong and Chuno). I am going a bit slow with watching because I want to be fully awake and functional for something this good.

The last 10-15 minutes of Episode 16, I must have rewatched at least 5 times. Daebak!

If the rest of the series goes as well as it has thus far, this will undoubtedly be my favorite sageuk ever.

Haha. For once, I've actually started watching a drama before you dangermousie. It's such a win first episode, best I've seen in awhile. I'm wayyy behind on it, ep 4 or 5, but enjoying it so far.

Mousie, PLEASE don't do this to me. I watched Princess Man based on your raving and it owned me for the past month. Just finished it yesterday, in fact. And now I have Jang Hyuk and Song Joong Ki tempting me with another tight, thrilling, sageuk just as I committed to studying...why do I have a life? In any case, I'll enjoy your posts on it :)

I'm TOTALLY mesmerized by TwDR and EP 14 is supposedly awesome! (subs for 13 & 14 are out, YAY!) All the main actors are wonderful and SJK just about blew my mind with his short visit in the drama as young Sejong. TwDR is such an all around well done, smart drama with writing that does not suck, for a change. So far anyway. It's visually gorgeous as well. I'm praying really hard for the Drama Gods to make it stay this good till the end.

I've been a good girl and not watched any of the episodes raw as it's one of those dramas where not paying attention for a second is bound to make you miss something vital. There are scenes I had to re-watch at least once. :)

LOL. I just gave the first 6 episodes to my Mom to check out while I'm away at the collage, and hoped that it's not that bad. I'm a bit relived that you like it. Your taste is legend. :)

I'm just following TWDR right now.... Such a very smart and profound drama! The characters are so deep and well built. As is the story.
Also I hope people will realize by this how important it is to be able to read and write! It is often the only power "low borns" actualy have!

And the King is AWESOME! He's my fav'!

so you just started watching?...just a fair warning: Song Joong Ki is going to floor you in the next two episodes or so

Yup, Song Joong Ki is brilliant as Young Sejong!

However, I didn't like TWDR as much, or more like I wasn't clamoring on each new episodes in the beginning because young Dol Bok was annoying with all his screaming, anger against everyone. It's understandable for him to be like that after all that's happened but dunno why I couldn't connect with his character. Perhaps it's because of the actor's performance. Or maybe it's because Song Joong Ki was so great at portraying Sejong's internal conflicts and turmoil that I love this character more and since Dol Bok is out to kill the king, I can't root for Dol Bok.

I'm currently on ep 5 and certainly looking forward what's coming up since I've been reading nothing but praises for the later episodes!

Young Ddol bok, I wish someone would have made him be the mute one. Actually, I'd hoped someone would have offed him, except then there would be no story.

Finally! :)

It's the only drama I'm watching now... Watched it primarily because of SJK's stunning performance, but waiting for the next episode just became a devotion. A new episode always left my mouth hanging. :)

I've finally checked your LJ again after what see,ed like ages to me - since back then it's part of my daily routine to check your blog - and then I see that screencap of Jang Hyuk and bam! I just checked out the teasers and already I am so in! Dang. Here's to more sleepless nights and eyebags! harhar! I am happy that Shin Se Kyung is in this too since I loved her in QSD!

OT: How you been dear? Like I said - it's been a while. Hope the rest of The Mousie family are doing well. ♥
