Mostly entertaining

Warning: Spoilers
Nokdu is living on an island with his family when a bunch of thugs arrive and try to kidnap him.

So off he goes and ends up in a village near the palace where a cruel and brutal, and it would seem paranoid, king rules.

He meets a bunch of female warriors and ends up in a village of widows - to enter it he dresses as a woman. It must be said that he makes a pretty woman!!

Of course he ends up living with the FL. She is pretty - but not enough to capture the hearts of two rather good-looking guys.

There is a LOT of fighting in this series and a lot of political intrigue.

There is a bit of kissing too - and the chemistry of the two leads is quite good.

What is annoying is the South Korean habit of dancing around gay characters - especially as this character got married to a massive woman in the end. Another annoyance was his little sister - who could have gotten him killed on multiple occasions with her stupidity. She also ate like a pig - but a lot of Koreans do.

Overall - I liked it. The three missing points are for the unoriginality of the plot.
