dangermousieHere is the newest, 5-min trailer and I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!!
I love that Joo Won plays someone who is an antihero (he is the officer for the Japanese!) and not a heroic avenger from the start - I love watching the slow (and I am sure painful) process of him transforming into someone good and someone who cares (you see glimpses of it when I think he recognizes the heroine as the girl he used to know and when he sees who the masked avenger really is). I love the aesthetic (one shot is totally Capital Scandal), I love that the heroine seems gutsy as hell, the secondary girl is an awesome assassin, and that Park Ki Woong gets to wield a badass sword. But, most importantly, I really do love that Joo Won starts the drama as a selfish collaborationist. That's...unusual, to say the least. And few actors can make me love their antagonists and root for them the way Joo Won does (the guy stole Baker King) and here he is both that and the hero. EEEE!
Is it me, or does it look vaguely cdramaish, btw? That is not a slam - I love period cdramas more than anything in the world.
