I love all Korean period dramas for their fabulous costumes, beautiful scenery and their fantastic storylines . I hope there will be more Period/historical dramas made – it’s a nice change to see people wearing decent clothes , and looking so beautiful – from the rough , tough look they have in contemporary dramas!! Loved Song Il Gook in Jumong and Kingdom of the Winds!! Hope there will be more historical dramas made in the future!!! Will keep watching!!!

Can you please tell me what Episode 36 was about

Quite touching story but sad ending. All actors and actresses for this drama were fantastic , a pity the ending wasn’t what I expected but a good historical drama. Credit to the writer for this drama
