The legendary "Chuno" is finally on my completed list! I have delayed this drama for 5 years!! I heard so many praises about it and the fact that it actually got high TV ratings (nearly 40% that's almost half of the population) which is considered a HUGE audience base says a lot. First of all Chuno is as good as the legend says I'm not saying it's perfect made drama because it isn't!! which is why I think it's a legend!! because even though it had flaws yet I still loved it and enjoyed it!! IKR weird isn't? Few things did irritate me and yet I still loved it! Doesn't that show how much this drama is special? a drama you would love regardless of its flaws how amazing is that? Story Definitely unique and original! it really is different in every aspect!! It has romance but not the kind that we are used to see in dramas. Though the main point of the story is the romance it's not the kind that comes into your mind when you 1st read the word romance. The story does not cover the process of them falling in love but the consequnces of that love. Therefore it does not have romantic scenes but memories and flashbacks of what they had and this is one of it's uniqueness. A love like no other a devoted man that is torn between resentment and hate and love and yearning. The story also does not address "revenge" in the way it is usually addressed in K dramas. Finally, it is the only drama that addressed the "slaves" side of the story in those times (Maids is also another drama that talked about slaves but it is in no way can be compared to this one). Acting WONDERFULL, AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, INCREDIBLE!! Loved loved loved JH!! This is his best ultimates performance It does not get any better than that!! and the rest of the cast they all were amazing!! My only disappointment is LDH. I used to love her in (My Girl) which was 10 years ago I think and I remember very well that she used to be very a good actress but here she simply sucks. She's actually one of the things that irritated me in this drama (she was supposed to be a slave yet she's the only one who had clean face and full make up on!!) she cared so much about her appearance than making the character believable!! and to add to that her acting was really horrible I wish I can find even stronger word than just horrible. But on the bright side she wasn't given that much screen time or dialogue so THANK GOD. I can't believe this is the actress I used to adore. Nonetheless she did not matter the one who really matters here is JH and I'll say this again JH DID AN AMAZING JOB as Lee Dae Gil (one of those characters that you will forever remember). Music One of the best OSTs I've heard in dramas, all of it no exceptions!! The kind of OSTs that is hard to forget. Rewatch Possible but not for me. Overall: If you are looking for originality, looking for something different, worthy of your time, and specially If you are sick of the recent ones and miss the old good stuff which made you fall for dramas in the 1at place (which is my case) then I suggest you give this a try. However if you are looking for romantic love story with romantic lovey dovey scenes, love triangles, dark revenge etc... then this is not the drama for you and one more thing I'll let you on Two small but essential tips: 1)One of the best endings ever made in dramas. 2)Hot guys everywhere with chocolate abs (6pack) exposure (all over the screen!! you will find it hard to focus at first) XD
