It deserves recognition and hype too.The best spy movies make you feel like you’re a real-deal secret agent, even if it is just for a couple hours. Too bad many viewers are sleeping on this masterpiece. This drama ended with 14% for the last episode (such an achievement for KBS because it has been long (2018) since they achieved a double digit rating in Mon-tues drama timeslot. UPDATE: I'm only giving this a 9.5 rating as I badly want season 2 for this drama. The problems that they have to deal with - corruption, murder and more. Every episode is a must watch - The blossoming romance between FL and ML, the complicated relationship between ML and his half brother. But I just want to tell you all that the story of this drama keeps getting better and exciting. The fact that the ratings for each episode is in 5% range despite having a strong contender (I know you know it) even before the drama airs, I must say it’s not underrated. Also, if you think the drama is underrated, well it’s not. QUEEN is lame because they are of different genre and plot. So, for those who are having doubts whether to watch or not, give it a try. They haven’t released the full version yet but N.Flying’s OST I’ll Find You is such a bop. OST: So far, we only have 1 OST for the 5 episodes. Lee Yi-Kyung, as always… he makes me laugh in every scene that he has. Though I say, in the last scene of episode 4, it’s kinda awkward. Kwon Nara on the other side is also doing a good job portraying as Hong Dain. :-DĪCTING: Though I still have hang-over with Kim Myungsoo’s character as KIM DAN, I’m loving his character now as Sung Yi-gyeom. The cinematography is not dull as what others think. Though sometimes Da-in’s lipstick is kinda flashy when she’s wearing man’s clothes. Their attire fits perfectly for each character and for every situation they are in. He’s just an ordinary man working at the palace with a pretty good position so don’t expect him to wear that fancy thing. PRODUCTION: If you think that the drama is a low budget because their wardrobe is not as fancy as other saguek drama, well for me, it’s a No. Also, Yi-Gyeom and Chunsam’s chemistry is so funny. The way they give concerns to each other, then later on bickers, will give you butterflies. I’m telling you, Yi-gyeom and Da-in chemistry (ship) is smoothly sailing. And maybe, you still can’t move on with Danyeon Couple – know what I mean (I’m one of them). They were both born on March 13 but Kwon Nara was born in 1991 and Kim Myungsoo is a ’92 liner. To those who keep asking if there will be romance or not, the first episode will give you hints (so better watch it).ĬHEMISTRY: Some says that ML and FL has no chemistry, and that Kwon Nara looks older for him. ROMANCE: There was no Romance tag before the promotion of this drama. The fact that Kim Myungsoo trained for weeks to do the stunts alone without having a double, I’m giving him that credit.


I love the turning kick, flying kick, the punches. The action scenes are not that powerful like any other sageuk drama but still good. It’s getting more exciting as the story progress.ĪCTION: There are few plot holes but regardless, the drama is pretty decent. This drama is unique, refreshing and not your typical sageuk drama that has Prince or King as the Main lead. As it was said or mentioned before, the drama plot will not focus more on solving corruption but will revolves around the life of Sung Yi-Gyeom as Royal Secret Agent (and a romance maybe). Rewatch Value 9.5 PLOT: There are many comments saying that this drama is boring or lame. As a result, Yi Bum is barred from seizing certain opportunities, creating a world of resentment towards his older step-brother, Yi Gyum. His father won’t accept Yi Bum as his legitimate son due to his mother’s low social status. Sung Yi Gyum’s family consists of a nobleman father, his stepmother, a slave, and a younger step-brother, Sung Yi Bum. He solves cases with the help of fellow inspector Hong Da In, a female colleague and his servant Park Chun Sam, who is talkative, affectionate, and often teary-eyed. He is tasked with uncovering illegal acts and rooting out corruption within the ranks of public officers. When caught gambling, Sung Yi Gyum, is punished and assigned to work as a Secret Royal Inspector. Despite his recent success, he has no life goals, nor the ambition to realize them, if he did! Set toward the end of the Joseon era, Sung Yi Gyum places first in the state examination, landing him a position at Hongmungwan in the Administration and Research Department.
