There are only two things I am afraid of
A Saeguk without romance and most importantly a Saeguk with bad endings
COnsidering my Saeguk repositoier Baek Dong Soo has the best ending and If this was your first Seaguk you would have loved it!! but there were many others that explore the good-bad relationship between brother or brotherly friends. But it wasn't meant to be as the middle part is boring where character growth fell flat and ending is too rushed.
Most people are gaga over SML but I don't get the point ; he could have choose the better path but continues to play the cool assassin instead of following his heart and expects people to accept it and I am not heart-broken by his death at the end as it was inevitable and what he wants ; so I don't hate Cho-rip or Baek Dong Soo for doing the right thing to end the Black Ninjas and prevent another Lord Hong to climb the ladder
If the best thing about the show is the friendship between all the trainees then worst thing is the romance especially Yoo Ji-Sun ; compared to Hwang Jin-Joo. SHin Hyun-bin fails to express her emotions and you will be confused who she fancies more Dong-Soon or Yeo-woon . As it gets more apparent that she is turning towards matured Dong-soon she fails to express the emotions again causing further confusion and for the first time the main leads are alive and together in a Saeguk yet you don't feel happy. So the romance ; if it can be called; only ruins the show and you wish the Jin-Joo has more chances with Dong-Soon but anyway happy she is with the painter .. she needed the class.
Seaguk's are not my forte' as we know they always have worst ending. Among them the ending for this is more sedate but I would not be re-watching it as I have skimmed through episodes 14 onwards. If this was a mini-series compressed in 16 episodes it would have been a classic.

By far, one of the best TV series I ever watched! With a fantastic story that will make you both laugh and cry, the beautiful instrumental soundtrack and great character development through the series, it`s impossible not loving it.
It has an incredible story, great soundtrack, direction and acting! I can't find a single thing bad about this series except the revolt I felt when certain characters died, but that only proves it to be an amazing series.
This series was the thing that made me start paying attention to Korean dramas and the Joseon Dynasty stories.
As a side note, I super recommend buying the OST of the series.
