I had watched bits and pieces of this drama when I was in middle school but at that time I wasn't able to find any English subtitles so it didn't make any sense to me. Several months ago, I came across the whole series subbed on Youtube and decided to give it another go. My main motivation for watching was: Alec Su and Chae Rim. Though I really liked the couple, I didn't feel much chemistry between them. Another factor that really made me want to give up on this drama was the fact that Chae Rim's voice was dubbed Reasons why I liked the drama: I love the portrayal of brotherhood in this drama. I loved how all the brothers were so close. I especially loved their mothers. She portrayed a brave woman. I loved the main theme songs from this show! The cast was pretty good. Reasons why I disliked this show: It lagged so much. (I felt they should've told the story in fewer episodes instead of all these dragging episodes.) Editing was sloppy. There wasn't much marital arts. The war scenes could've been MUCH MUCH better I felt. Pan Renmei was irritating. (hated him) I was debating between an overall score of 5 but ended up giving a 6 coz of Alec Su.
