I think I got the story. It opens with Kim So Hyun fighting and looking for her friend Dal. Flashback to KSH as a little princess who escapes when assassins kill her Mom The Queen. She is found in the woods and Dal jumps off the cliff that nobody ever dies from. 8 years later, KSH is an assassin trying to avenge her family.

Didn't realize Kim SoHyun/Mok SolHui was the lead in this - although she looks a bit different - older even though this was made before....
But it seems like she has lost her memory of her family??

On Dal and Princess Pyeonggang are real historical people. In the beginning of each episode it says that this is based on the stories about On Dal so I looked it up

Only on episode 8 means that we have to see the evil Gochuga for another 12 episodes. You know that he won't be killed until 10 minutes to go in the last episode.

Episode 13--we are finally back to where episode 1 began with the battle. Dal took an axe to his shoulder and you see the spurt of blood but it somehow did not effect him. I am enjoying this but I think that Dal is the weakest of all the characters. I like the Princess, the Crown Prince, the court intrigue and the Silla spy storeowner. Even the King has become a good ruler. At least in the olden days,, the Kings actually went into battle with their men.

I think I am a bit behind but will catch up on the weekend. I agree with your assessment of Dal and I don't much like the young general either...but most of the others are fine. I sort of like the headman of the assassins mainly for his looks...lol... I still haven't read up on the real history of OnDal....

I really liked this until the last 8 minutes. I don't care how you "suspend" yourself, you don't live with 10 arrows in you. When the monk tells Ga Jin that Dal asked him for a favor, I thought it was going to be metal plates until his armor that stopped the arrows. The real On Dal dies attacking a fortress and today there is a statue of Dal and the Princess outside the fort. What is next?? Suspicious Partner, Extra Ordinary, Perfect Marriage Revenge, 1% of Something, A Piece of Your Mind, The Rebel???

Yes, the end was a bit unbelievable....I also read that he died in battle...
Wow, you found some real old ones - on our to watch list??
Let's go with Perfect Marriage Revenge this next time - The Rebel, a historical is 30 episodes...sounds interesting...for the one after this...
