One of the best read I had in the past few years, really.
Where should I start? The art. The drawing of the first part of the story specially, reminds me the style of traditional paintings, like the ones we see in korean and japanese paintings of the past. That already is mesmerizing. It´s like you can see the brushstroke? Unique!
Regarding the story, it starts as a period piece that leads to a more modern story, the later being a consecuense and continuation of what we were shown in the beginning. Romance, drama, horror, action, all so well delivered. The characters are beautiful with defined personalities. And they made such human, moving gestures. Captivating.
There are several couples (just love that), and while somethimes you don´t see a clear conclusion of some of the stories, or it seems that the side stories are interrupted (the emperor and the shaman/messenger, for example), that doensn´t stop this work to be excellent. Just little miscalculations that demostrate how great this manhwa is.
When I ended reading this story. I thought: "Well, this is evocative, it has a soul".
