This show is good! Although there are some errors in the subtitles for u non-Korean speakers the quality was overall awsome. The show itself had some many twists and turns, it's dipicted it so as you cry if a main charecter cries. It sorta makes your brain hurt because ur thinking to. It also teaches you alot of Korean history too. Becareful not to watch too much! I don't want to give much away.

-crazy soap opera kid ,

My wife liked it and I kind of did also except for the ending which just seemed to be because the network told them to end it. English subtitles were Ok but fine if you know some Korean.

For the best audio and video quality with the original broadcast English subtitles, look for 'Studio: MBC America' under Product Details. MBC America is the licensed US distributor for Yi San. MBC America works from the original MBC-TV master recordings and hires professional translators for the broadcast subtitles, which are also used for the DVD release. Each episode runs about 60 minutes.
