Editor Comment

Good investment from Netflix. Good Effect, and good Actors. During the Joseon 1st and 2nd Strife of the Princes (The Purge). The show shows some of Taejo’s weaknesses as the dynasty founder. It is another version of these events, check (the series information will be available soon here).
