I am gonna be bichy right now and complain about stupid things like
Hidden:
Gil Dong falling off the cliff (it was so unreal) and him going to marketplace without no one recognizing him. These small things are really annoying
It was pretty touching when he was burying the heads of those construction workers in ep 8. It must have hurt a lot since he was bleeding.
Now that I have seen prince's smile I really like him He turns into such a sweet guy around Yi Nok. Then again Gil Dong has become so serious. I bet he misses everyone a lot
I kind of like thie serius side of the drama but I wish there would be more comedy. I love the comedy in this one. But all funny moments with Yi Nok rght now won't satisfy me. I want more.
btw the king's really crazy. I want to see what kind of guy he was before he had turned into a crazy man. Ministers are fools too. Take orders from an insane guy and be scared of him... Well thats' how it is in real world too

Sung Yuri and Kang Ji Hwan are so cute together. I enjoyed this drama from the beginning to the end
Hidden:
I hate the scriptwriter for not giving a happy ending to Yi Nik and Gil Dong. The ending was so beautiful though it was so sad too, I cried so much when she tells him "I love you" and he answers that he knows what it means and then "Saranghe, Saranghe" aaaaah !!! I hardly cry while watching a drama but this time, they got me with this final scene.

Yes the ending was beautiful. But then it also made me wonder. What kind of king did the prince become? A good one or just another king? What happened to Gomi? What about Eun Hye? How did life continue
Hidden:
after Gil dong was gone? I suppose Eun Hye wrote more books about him?
After watching whole drama I think it was only so-so. Romance was lacking and chemistry between main characters wasn't that good. At first I liked Jang Geun Suk but then I noticed that his face was like dead fish. Always that same expression <_< What a boring actor. However I'm very pleased with Kang Ji Hwan. He was perfect Gil Dong^^
I also loved the insane king. He was one of the most interesting characters ever. He was crazy but there were still a ray of intelligense left. The way he ended up was mean but beautifu.
Story was nice. But after it got more serious it lost it's charm. It was still good but it missed something. I loved all the funny moments from beginning.

I'm glad I don't know enough about the actors/actress in a way because I can't make comparisons which I would do if I could, hell - straight after watching Hong Gil Dong and L o v i n g it! I watched a bit of Iljimae - and hated it. Hong gil Dong is actually my favourite drama, period, now. I cried lots during it [I am a bit soppy but I just like getting into the feel of things properly] and I cried long and hard when it was over if only for the fact that there was no more! I had a hard time "breaking up" with this drama and watching the special did a little to bring me back to reality but there's an empty space there now that I know will never be filled! [how melodramatic!]
Anyhoob my favourite characters were, of course, Hong Gil Dong, The King [excuse me, by the by for not knowing anyone's real name, I'm sure it's annoying] and Hong Gil Dong's master the priest. - His laugh lit up the world for me! haha
Most impressive was definitely the king. And his relationship with Hong Gil Dong's father was, for lack of a better word, amazing!

i totally disagree with you when you said that Jang Geu suk i s a bad actor...
his character is a ghost with only one objectif : revenge !
how can he make a lot of different faces ...with his terrible past ? Yi nok make him smile for the first in this life...

Just finished this series. Gotta say this is one of the best period K-dramas ever! But i'm really confused after watching the last episode. Remember the 1st episode? After HGD and his gang robbed the minister in the opening sequence, there was a message saying that basically in the rest of the episodes, we're just watching a flashback.
Hidden:
Since HGD and his gang died in the last episode, how can the robbing take place then? So can i assume that the chief of the thieves in the opening sequence is actually the little boy whom HGD's master took as his disciple?

You're not the only one who was confused about it at first, Evange ^^
With some discussion here and there we came to the result, that
Hidden:
the first minutes of the first episodes are the stories, Eun Hye had written. If you remember, in the later half of the drama, she started writing stories about HGD.. at first to harm him.. but later on to keep his 'spirit alive'.
Yeah, I don't think too, that JGS did a bad job - according to his character! He portrait it well...but I was still sometimes a bit annoyed with this face all the time *lol*
But you felt his smile everytime he was together with Yi Nok, when his heart lightened up around her..

Jang geun suk have made a really good job!
At first I liked him a lot. But soon he became very boring. His character was interesting but Jang Geuk Suk could have dones so much better. His past was truly awful and thus he never smiled and had only few expressions. But even with few expressions person can make much more for example using eyes and small gestures to express pain and stuff. His face was always exactly the same, his voice was always exactly the same. He seemed kind of tense (could learn things or few from So Ji Sub or Lee Jin Wook). His character was just a ghost but he changed. He met Yi Nok and his smile was truly very beautiful. He was so cute when he smiled^^ his life changed but his pain wouldn't go away because he learned that what he has been living for, it all was just a scam. Everything in what he believed scattered in many peaces. He was such a tragic character. With so much tragedy he still had only that same face. To tell the truth I couldn't feel the pain he was feeling.
But well. Others like and other's don't. It's just my opinion.

I think Jang Geu suk is an excellent actor. Although he wore very few facial expressions, you could see it all in his eyes: his struggle to become the King, his unrequited love for Yi Nok, everything is shown in his eyes.

Love the drama but truly disappointed with the sad ending, which was so unexpected.
I read on wiki that the book that it was based on seems to have a different story. In the wiki yi noki wasn't even mentioned. So dunno if she is in it, but reading the description it seems like they would have been better off sticking with the book. Well thats IMHO anyhow.
