I was finally able to watch this historical drama over the past two days. Although short, it's very good. Plenty of action and special effects. If you do not like the sight of blood, this drama isn't for you.

I'm with you. This is a very good drama, although i haven't finish it yet.
I'm into historical dramas lately

That's most what I have been watching lately as well. The current era dramas just have a different fell to them.

Different and quite good. I liked that the women was more than an object of male rivalry and love. Love stories were just for seasoning. The way the story had inserted quotations of other thinkers and other stories were interesting.
