“I am seeing this because of Jisung, who is the second lead. His acting is up to my expectation. His role allows him to apply his excellent acting skills. He acts like a crown when in a scene he is humiliated by a powerful minister. But as the story develops he becomes an aggressive minister who successfully let his son to be the king.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe first male lead and the young king both are ok. The plot is quite rich and enchanting. Jisungu0026#39;s son surprisingly becomes the king. And it ends with the first male lead, a fengshui expert, giving advice to Korean fighters where to set up the military school. It makes me think of Mr Sunshine.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is centered on fungshui, where the location of ancestorsu0026#39; grave determines the well being of descendants.
