REVIEW:
As some may know, I helped in the subtitling process for this show on Viki. As such, I have to wonder whether or not the influenced my view on the drama. That being said, I don't think I can properly review it. Although it's probably worth watching again, I've seen it too many times because I was working on it. XD
Although I went fangirl for this drama, since there are some smexy actors in this one, I cannot say that the production was spotless. Let's be honest here, the blood stains look like coolaid. Do they not know that blood stains turn brownish after a little while? (Sorry if I assumed wrong here, but I think the person who applied the fake blood was a man. Most women know what blood looks like.)
On a final note, I think there was an issue with Episode 13. Notice the sword is bloody before going into the person's body (even though it hadn't slashed anyone prior to its use), but it is clean when it's coming out of the body. Isn't that a bit backwards? If I'm wrong, please correct me, but it looks like the person who did the blood should have been fired.
