It was a fantastic drama. Initially I was not interested. I decided to give it a try because of seven tan. But I never thought I will like each and every person in this drama.
This was my first drama in a Republican era. The eight depicts eight factions where each of them have respective talents. The actions and talents of each factions made it more interesting to watch the drama. The male lead was good too. I really like him . Even though romance is not developed here it really stick to the story. It's understandable that there is no time for lovey dovey romance.
When it was near to the last few episodes I already predicted the climax. But the last 2 episodes really made me amused. It was a perfect ending. I also shed tears especially for the king of assassins.
Overall it was a wonderful work.
About re-watching this drama it's upto individual's choice. Because already the suspense part is out. So I don't think to re-watch.
Anyway I really recommend this drama. As an international fan of cdrama, even though in the middle I feel like there is no connection between things, In the end everything makes sense. So give it a try. I am not writing about the story because it's something that a viewer have to be experience.
