Those two were my favorite characters, especially the young woman who later sacrificed herself for him. I have to admit, I did not finish the last two episodes... because I did not want the story to end.

Mimics the plot of Turandot.

Silla was in the southeastern part of the peninsula.

No kidding and our resident spert has already killed one hopeful

Air miles from eastern edge of Persia to Seoul is 3400 air miles...statute

Add likely at least a third to that on trails and over very rough terrain

Sixth century

Doable but unlikely

Watch them. They pull things together very nicely and are largely historically accurate as regards the fall of the Yuan Dynasty. The cool thing about some of these Korean historical dramas is that you can revisit them a year or two later and they still feel fresh. Amazingly well done.

Thank you for writing. I will do so and keep your comments in mind, which will make the final viewing that much more enjoyable.

Thank God for Korean dramas. We don’t watch Western entertainment at all anymore because we prefer the morals, story telling and production values of Korean dramas much more than Hollywood or European films, which I regret watching, because of their insipidness and many times debauchery.

I too, pretty much have made KDramas my sole entertainment.

I loved “My Love From the Star”, and “Goblin”.
