Refreshing Saeguk Dram

This is really a refreshing drama. Saeguk drama that I watched only Scarlett Heart.

This drama is studded with players who don't need to doubt the quality of their acting. The plot is also very interesting and the camera setup is also very beautiful. And here what makes me interested is the existence of Nam yoon soo and Rowoon, they are my favorite actors. But unfortunately, in this drama Yoon Soo is the second lead :(.

Ah yes, Yoon so is very cool playing the character of hyun even though previously I was very stunned by his appearance in extracurricular.

In essence, this drama is very cool and a must watch!
