My final rating is 8 because the romance story was so annoying especially in the 2nd part of the drama (after episod 10) - sorry i have skipped all love scenes and there are many. BUT the historical story was so great and so captivating!!! I have loved watching Park Hyung Sik in this drama. He is actng very well. He is quite sexy in Hwarang clothes. Supporting roles are very refreshing. I recommand this drama if you are looking for historical drama with sexy guys.
