Synopsis
Ji Sang (Ji Sung) is a gifted seer, born with the ability to see into people’s pasts and futures. There are those who believe falsely that he has dark supernatural powers, thinking him possessed by ghosts. When he comes of age in the late Goryeo era, he becomes a scholar of divination, and a reader of geography, faces, and the like to tell fortunes — an area with much influence at the time. He eventually becomes a “king-maker,” who holds the key to a major political shift in the overthrow of Goryeo and the rise of Joseon. He help the General Lee Sung Gye (Ji Jin Hee) become the first king of the Joseon Dynasty.
Lee Jung Geun (Song Chang Ui) is Ji Sang’s rival. Hae In (Kim So Yun) is Ji Sang’s main love interest and Ban Ya (Lee Yoon Ji) is Ji Sang’s first love. (source: dramabeans)

I like Korean Historical Drama.
I like ji sung in Kim Soo Ro.
Now, I also encourage this series.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:45 am
Why rated low when Ji Sung is on headline with this drama?! Can anyone explain?
October 12th, 2012 at 11:19 am
@Arvie Rex
that because the previous drama air in this timeslot have very low rating above 6%, i think the rating will pick up soon, i watch without sub and this drama really interesting
October 12th, 2012 at 11:28 am
i love ji jin hee
October 12th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
I watched ep 1; it was slow going. It’s still in a preamble state.
It also has to compete with 2 popular n established KDs, Nice Guy n Arang, in the same time slot. It takes time to build up an audience.
In the last few mins, JJH in painted face n animal mask rocks big time!
October 13th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
This is a good drama to watch, requires a lot of patience for the storyline to be developed to be more interesting. Problem is, this type of drama must watch from Ep1 to understand fully the storyline. If watched from other Episode onwards, viewers will have difficulty to piece together the plots/ events. May likely capture older generations interest in watching this type of drama.

Really good to see Jin Hee in this drama.
Not a fan of Ji Sung though. I’m hoping he doesn’t piss me off in this drama as he had done in the past.
October 13th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
Back story is long n slow. In ep 1 & 2, I walked away frequently, came back n didn’t miss anything.
Main chars haven’t yet appeared; they haven’t even been born, so it’s quite boring, except when JJH appears on screen, with his war paint n animal head dress!
In next eps, we’ve to wait for the two seers to grow up.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
The two seers are from the prietess and princess. The child of the princess has been given away to ensure its safety, I guess the prietess’s son will be brought up by the general In Im.

My best actor is JI JIN HEE.

October 18th, 2012 at 9:46 am
ep.3 is amazing, really love David and Yong Hak acting, the child actor really amazing in this drama, not to mention the kind of crazy JJH as Lee Sung Gye

I never like the actress Kim So Yeon. I watch the movie All About Eve years back, and she was like a bitch in that acting, from there I never like to watch her movie and not suitable to be main actress, I do not like that Dr Champ movie either, spoil the whole movie with the good actor Ji Sung, so gonna skip this movie for me..Anyway no reward for this movie, I guess it is not that good either…not my favourite actress among so many actresses
October 19th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Ha, I don’t know kim so yun joined in this drama!!!
@Hanako, yes, I hate her also in All about Eve ^^”, it’s because her character in AAE very evil, but I’m not hate or fans of her. She impressed me at Prosecutor Princess.
Maybe I’ll follow this drama later….
October 19th, 2012 at 11:57 pm
Have watched till ep 4.
So far so good. I find it exciting. Looking forward to it very much !!!!
October 20th, 2012 at 12:15 am
Actually a typical historical drama ,NOTING SPACIAL so far, but great casting so it makes skipping difficult …
October 21st, 2012 at 7:28 am
I love Ji Sung, but also trust a lot the ratings. So maybe i should wait and see how the ratings will get higher.
The casting isn’t that bad at all! Ji Sung, Ji Jin Hee, Kim So Yun… Is the drama that awful?
October 22nd, 2012 at 7:59 pm
@F.ids
I never trusted ratings, I didn’t liked all the big hits or high rating drama. Sometimes the underrated drama was one of my favourites drama, and disliked the overrated drama, so you must eat first to know the taste. ^^`
