Six Flying Dragons (2015)

Une magnifique page d'histoire coréenne pleine de bruit et de fureur

Alors si vous voulez de la romance passez votre chemin, il n’y en a pas, ou si peu que ce n’est même pas la peine d’en parler.  
Par contre si vous voulez avoir une petite connaissance d’une page importante de l’histoire de la Corée, c’est le drama qu’il vous faut !    
50 épisodes, d’accord, mais pas une minute d’ennui, une grande clarté des intrigues politiques pourtant complexes, et surtout l’ascension et l’évolution d’un homme incroyable, Lee Bang Won, au départ adolescent dévoré par la haine de l’injustice, se mettant au service de Jeong Do jeon, avec une intelligence incroyable, une habileté innée puis s'opposera à son mentor,  esprit brillant avec des vues sur la gouvernance d’une modernité incroyable !

C'est un récit plein de bruit et de fureur, aux combats époustouflants, le sang gicle, les larmes coulent, la trahison est tapie dans l'ombre, la loyauté est un bouclier de bronze, bref c'est quasiment Shakespearien.

Les personnages autour de Lee Bang Won sont remarquables, forts, bien construits, les dialogues sont excellents, et l’interprétation totalement géniale d’un bout à l’autre ! La musique est magnifique avec une chanson sublime qu’on n’entend si peu que je me suis dit -oui, moi !- qu’on ne l’entendait pas assez !  

Je ne peux pas dire que Lee Bang Won m'enthousiasme (Brrrr... ) mais on ne peut pas nier la puissance du personnage, et c'est surtout la façon dont son évolution est décrite que je trouve magnifique de finesse et de maîtrise du sujet ! Autrement j'ai été aussi passionnée par Jong Do Jon, sa vision de l'avenir d'un pays, sa conception de la gouvernance, sa force de conviction, fascinent, bref la façon fouillée et superbement écrite dont ces deux personnages sont mis en scène m'a vraiment scotchée devant le drama ! Et bien sûr, pour le côté affectif, c'est Li Bang Ji, si blessé, douloureux, déchiré et loyal qui m'a touchée le plus !
L’histoire est prenante, palpitante même avec des scènes éblouissantes de force (le combat de Li Bang Ji avec Gil Tae Mi, le piège tendu au cours d’un banquet, Ddang-Sae chantant a cappella devant une foule silencieuse et profondément émue, et plein d’autres… ) Pour vous dire j’ai revu deux fois les trois derniers épisodes, et j’ai enchaîné avec Deep rooted tree pour retrouver certains personnages… Je n’ai pas peur de le dire, c’est un chef d’œuvre du genre !!

An epic historical drama based on real history...

As a lover of gritty saguk dramas, this fully lived up to my expectations and even exceeded them. This drama was a very intelligent blend of real historical events/characters and fictional ones. The real life characters bring the reality to the drama and the fictional ones breath life and excitement into it.

The acting in this drama is on another level, it's brilliant. The actors I enjoyed in particular were Yoo Ah In who played every aspect of Bang won's adult life superbly and Park Hyuk Kwon who played two separate characters but pulled off both of their distinct personalities.

The ost for this drama is breath-taking, the songs match the melancholy atmosphere of the entire drama and lift the already dramatic or emotional scenes to new heights.

One thing that needs to be mentioned is the sword fight scenes, out of all of the k drama's I've seen, this one has by far the best choreographed sword fights! Really, the only downside of this drama is that it can be quite confusing at times, mainly because of the overwhelming number of characters. Nevertheless, it's worth getting invested in. Since it's a 50 episode drama there's so much more I could say but really you should just give it a watch and see if it is your thing! I will say though, don't expect a light, happy, romantic drama because it's very far from that...

MASTERPIECE

I just wanna to say a big thank you to the people involved in the production of this series and of course the casts, this is AMAZING. Love the character development. The end of every episode just blows your mind and you just want to watch another episode to know what is going to happen. Lucky for me, all the episodes are released so I can binge in one setting! The death of each prominent characters (I shall not name who and you should watch to find out) brought tears to my eyes. I broke down even more during the last few episodes especially the hugging scene in EP50.. Things have to be sacrificed for the bigger picture, this is true indeed. Lee Bang Won just had to endure it and suffer alone..... :''')

I'm going to keep this short (since other people have said it better); if you're looking for a thoroughly entertaining historical drama with great acting and plot, this is the one for you. Don't let the length of the drama keep you away. Yoo Ah In has done a phenomenal job in this. He perfectly portrayed Yi Bang Won's passion, his indignation, his wounded heart, his clever mind, and so much more. He has complete mastery over facial expressions. It was so satisfactory to watch. Other male leads i.e. 'flying dragons' are just as amazing.
The only thing I didn't like was Lee Sung Kyung's poor acting which ruined everything that had to do with Boon Yi for me. Lee Sung Kyung does not know how to use her eyebrows or her mouth to express her emotions and it is truly a shame. I don't know if she's improved later in her career but her acting in this drama wasn't it. I did not like Boon Yi's pairing with Bang Won as there was no chemistry there at all, but I'm still glad that romance was never the center of the drama.

This is a very thrilling kdrama for me. The action scenes are very intense, especially the sword fights among swordsmen. The part that really hooked me was the part where they were invited to a banquet not knowing that they will be attacked - that was so intense ???

It's very educational. I have learned a lot about their history, and I was motivated to learn more ??

Every actors suits the character they're playing. I was really entertained.

Yoon Kyun Sang is actually the reason why I watch this drama, and I never regretted it. He is really amazing and his acting is really entertaining. I loved every scene that he's in.??? His scene when he wanted to challenge the best swordsman but failed really made me laugh.

Byun Yo-han is so appealing in his character. He's quite uncanny though -- a swordsman that looks so kind and gentle.?

This drama, however, is quite brutal for me. I don't know how to explain it, but I find it strange to see dead children and a kid being slash with a sword ?

This is a worth watching kdrama ??
