They better make a spin-off for the Momo Tribe led by Karika Xabara (played by KARATA Erika (唐田えりか)). In both Seasons 01 and 02, her appearance was the most awaited, and yet in both she was only a guest playing an epic and mysterious character from an equally epic and mysterious tribe.
If they kept her appearances short because they're planning to have a spin-off, then that's good. Otherwise, they missed to capitalised on the character, the tribe, and the actress.
Gorgeous, glorious, sublime!! This is one of the most beautiful and haunt drama I've ever watched in life. This just 18 episodes is not enough, by god's sake, I need a second season RIGHT NOW!!!!

I recommend this drama who like epic fantasy or high fantasy. This might not be on the same level as LOTR or GOT but still they are doing a great job! I loved this drama and this part 3 in particular.
part1 is basic prelude to season 1 ; setting things in motions and introducing character from both side and their unique struggles.
part2 is melodramatic with several main characters from part1 taking backstage..
part 3 turned out to be amazing. It had many epic scenes, lots of action from the protagonists. The story is very full. They did great work with world building and showing the epic-ness :) it was quite better than the other two parts even.
Characters are very great here. There are many and it maybe hard to remember them all for some people but they are all interesting. I especially love women in this drama as they are strong and cool. And the secondary characters also are very memorable.
song joong ki as Eunseom is brave but he hasn't realized the end game yet!! naive and gulliable ..but I am rooting for him.
Lets give a hand to song joong ki as Saya for being so smart to connect all the dots. This guy is also the craziest character in this series but he's so lovable that I just don't care about all the evil things he does or thinks of. I am not rooting for him
And tagon is just one step ahead of everyone, this guy actually knows what he's doing(lol) I support him as king but i'd be a lot happier if he wasn't a dictator LOL His expressions remain same while being a dictator or compasionate union leader... it makes it unpredicatable what he is going to do next
I love how the characters are ever evolving and you just can't even predict what who is going to do next. Even the newly introduced characters are awesome!!Tagon has become a whole new person. Taelha has finally opened her eyes. Tanya has actually brought her A game!!from timid to brazen. Eunseom is no longer naive...that guy is cooking up an army!
2 more seasons ahead :) that’s great because the biggest fault for this drama was being too grand but too short.
I can’t wait for next season!
I need more epic-ness before they return!
I don’t usually rewatch dramas but I feel like rewatching this one when next season is released

This can be a little bit of an uneven production. This series was conceived to be epic on the scale of GAME OF THRONES or THE LORD OF THE RINGS using Asian folklore to craft the universe, but, the forging of the distinct worlds was rather ham-handed, filled with anachronisms and poor internal logic. Sometimes those missing or lazy errors were so glaring that it took me out of the story. It took me awhile to warm up to the series, BUT, the cinematography was stunning, filled with beautiful locations and well curated shots. The characters were relatable and interesting, and the acting, for the most part, was very good. The characters became better drawn, the acting was faithful, and the story and court politics were intriguing. I loved that on the micro levels there were personal machinations but on the global level there were duelling world views. I give the series an 8 (novel world building) out of 10.
