"Arang And The Magistrate" is a great mythical/fairy tale type story that comes together via the excellent acting skills of the main characters. Awesome CG effects and beautifully composed scenes make for a convincing fantasy world. Lee Jun Ki does his own fight scenes, and as a martial artist myself, I can say that the fights were very good, some of the best fight scenes in k-drama that I've seen so far.
Beautiful wardrobe and period buildings complete the sets. Especially awesome was the character Moo Young, his makeup and wardrobe made for a very convincing Death Angel. Very creatively done.
I gave a poor score for the musical score because rap/hip hop is used during some fight scenes. I get the attempt to appeal to younger audiences, but that music was very out of place for a saeguk, even a fantasy one. I was actually checking my ipad to make sure a music app hadn't suddenly started up unbidden.
Even those who do not generally like saeguks might give this a try. The journey into Arang's fantasy world is worth their time.
