 Excellent Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have just finished watching the whole series yesterday and believed this has to be one of the best dramas. All characters were well performed by everyone. The picture quality is also excellent. However, soundtrack is not up to par as it was being presented in Mono only not the original stereo. I hope the future releases would be better because it is quite expensive for the whole set and if future releases could be in Bluray format that would be even better.

 well done Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This drama starts off extremely slow pace. I almost gave up because it was so depressing seeing yi San's enemies forever having the upper hand. However if you can patiently sit through the first one third of the series I promise you will be rewarded with the rest of the very interesting drama right through to the very end. It was when Hung KR came into the picture when the game slowly turned round in Yi San's favour. Without Hung, Yi san would have died a couple of times over let alone got to the throne. Hung's character is one of the best ever written. His loyalty always lies with his emperor although he did keep you guessing all the time(and you never completely trust him). Despite of his many blunders the emperor found heart to forgive him every time. Sadly he spent his last days in exile thinking he would never be able to see his emperor again. This desperation eventually led to his prematured death. Song Yeon's life is in a way quite tragic. Having forced to be separated from her baby brother after she lost her parents, she was not well treated by her 'colleagues' in the beginning. The emperor's mother also rejected her. She lost her young son and finally died of an incurable disease. Yi San (King Jeong Jo) on the other hand had a hard life also. Having lost his father through power struggle he was continuously doubted by his grandfather. He survived a few assassination attempts, had to fight hard to marry the only girl he loved, only to lose her as well as his beloved young son to illnesses. There are two outstanding saintly characters in the story. The first being Dai Shao's uncle who tenderly brought up his nephew and friend of nephew - Song Yeon and cared for the two of them more than a father would. The other one is the empress-Yi San's wife. Knowing her husband did not love her (though he greatly respected her) she made sure that he could marry the girl he so loved. She was kind and loving towards Song Yeon,sharing her happiness and misfortunes. Near the end I still feel sad that Hung KR was no longer there to see the emperor's many achievements. The last epistle is sad but very touching with all the memories flushing back. After all this is a very long series.

Vol 1 & Vol 2 Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I was quite pleased with the excellent English subtitle in Vols. 1 & 2, and I believe it will continue throughout the entire drama. Thank you.

The relentless plot is quite scary at times for me the viewer against the Crown Prince and wishes more expressed romance instead of an implied one between the Crown Prince and the Maiden. Let's hope Vol 3 will be the turning point for me.

Moving and dramatic Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This drama is exactly that.................dramatic. It really tells you the story about power and greed.
Although my ultimate drama is still Jewel in the Palace, this comes in second. I think the child actors make the movie and really inspire the story's beginning. You really need to see it from the beginning to know
how and why the things that happen, happened. However, I do agree with some reviewers that at
times it became frustrating when the characters passiveness or ignorance dragged on too long.
Although, they did seem to recover when the twists of the story turns things around. I love the character
of Daigu though as he seem to become more and more intelligent as time passed. All in all I loved this
drama and will get all volumes to share with my sisters who are also drama addicts.

Yi San Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I thoroughly enjoy most Korean Historical Drama. I started out enjoying Vol. 1 but Vol. 2 is too mean for me to continue enjoying Yi San. The plots are relentless and I don't know if I can continue watching Vols. 3 and 4. I realize the schemes are what keeps you interested but the writer is being unrealistic. But keep showing Korean historical dramas!

Lee San Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
An interesting saga, well portrayed and beautiful setting and costumes.
Keeps you glued to it, if you have an important project in your house, you should finish it first. I have Vols. 2 &3 but still don't have the ending.
If you like this series, you would also like the "POTATO BOY", if you think the main characters here don't take a good break...

 I'm back after seeing 1st part Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I have officially watched the first 20 episodes of this drama.
I'm not so sure that this drama is better than dae jang geum.
Yes, this is a good drama, but sometimes it does get on my nerves. You just feel like the crown prince never gets a break, and yu expect the same thing over and over again.

The music is really nice, but I can't really stand the girl in the drama. She is too passive. She may be pretty, but has no acting talent.

I would buy volume 2, but it just depresses me to think i have to buy 3 more volumes!!! If volume 2 is not that exiting, i'll just stop there, but It did hold my interst enough to want to see the second volume, even though episode 20 did not end in a way that grabed my attention.

 Excellent in every way!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Ok, I tried to write a review but got blocked for some reason, so here I go again. I would normally give up if rejected but I feel I need to let the viewers know about this great drama!

I am almost finished with 1st 20 episodes & I am glued to the tv. I would say this is better than most of the period pieces that I have seen & I have seen many including Lee Seo Jin's "Damo"...that one I still love, including the heartfelt OST for the drama.

Yi San has the such a great cast. Lee Seo Jin has outdone himself again. He just gets better & better.

Han Ji Min, so young & so very talented. Watch her in the "Resurraction" & "Capital Seoul". She is wonderful in all.

This drama is historic & romantic. It doesn't have so much blood fighting scenes as normally these type of dramas have.

Watch this...enjoy...I am on my way to get the OST right now. Always get the OST...music always is very good & often moving.

 better than dae jang geum Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
My dad has seen both Dae Jang Geum and Yi san...I asked him which one he likes better and he said Yi san is much better.

I have not seen this series, but Dae jang Geum is my favorite, so it this one is better......it really must be good. I'm going to buy my copy today, and report back on what I think....

Everybody should have one!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Wow! This drama is really amazing!!!! Not only it's a great drama, the quality and design match the concept perfectly. I wonder who designed this. Whoever made this product, must be an artist with great taste.

You'll never regret if you buy this drama set. It worths every penny you spent.

I really can't wait to see Volum 2. I learned Korean culture from this drama, and I do think everyone should get one if you want to know Asian culture.

Highly recommand!!!
