When I watched the first episode I was hooked into it, thinking it will be a drama relating to court politics and occasionally some action. The action did come but the politics were mere child's play. Many questions remained unclear, many plots didn't make sense. Maybe the subtitle didn't do justice but the story itself lacked charisma. If not the court politics, then martial art and charisma of the protagonist could have made up for it. The only thing that made me rate it 6, is all those randomly popping philosophies and compromises made for love.
Review of The Emperor: Owner of the Mask
Plots that were shrouded in mystery was actually not a mystery. Not enough justice to court politics.
