I keep waiting for some hair stylist to comb Gyu Won's hair.. it is most unattractive on such a cute kid. and.... what's with the ugly wig or hair dye on Shin.. it looks like a hair helmet... colored with black shoe polish!!! The lack of attention to esthetics of hair, doudy clothes takes away from an otherwise wonderful story of kids with great talent.

Love the fact that SIG does he does not use a double for the fighting scenes and riding his horse... makes him less of a girly man like so many dramas where the guys wear lip gloss, lipstick and eyeliner.. He comes off as a masculine lead!

The actors were supurb and actually appeared to do their own stunts, and actually did their own horse back riding... made it more authentic. Costumes first rate, Song II Kuk was very well cast. I was happy that they used a guy who was not a pretty boy, but masculine and real...
