Bridal Mask a.k.a Gaksital

One of my FAVOURITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!!

Just finished the drama less than a week ago. Only find this moment to share the joy i've got from watch this drama.

I really love to watch good korean drama. I put this drama under my GREAT drama categories.
First time hear about this drama is from javabeans, girlfriday and girls at DB. They reviewed it as one of the best k-drama in 2012. Gaksital was originally aired at KBS. But the main problem in Indonesia is: we updated our k drama episodes through internet. Local tv here rarely air updated k-drama...usually its aired waaaayyyy long after it broadcasted in Korea.

Back to Gaksital, when i watch first episode...truthfully...i don't read much about the storyline. All i know was Joo Won will potrait Gaksital or the Bridal Mask. First episode was intriguing and interesting as ever!! The show really good on making the first impression on the drama.

From the first episode to the final episode is one helluva journey!! DAEBAK!! Each episode is unravel a great story, amazing cast, and beautiful cinematography. And they ALWAYS cut the episode at the most tense moment that keep me figdeting and cant wait to continue to the next episode. I can imagine the tension between the aired episode in Korea.

Gaksital take set at early 1930 in Korea (or Joseon at that time). The storyline revolve around the people condition at that time, especially the movement againts Japan's occupation at Joseon. Joo Won is anti hero that turned to hero in the drama, lets just mention him as his character: Lee Kang-To.

What makes the drama great for me is the story and the characters is so rich...that makes you didn't even object about the long episode. I feel like...more is merrier!! When you watch the early episodes, you will HATE Kang-To...but surely end up LUUUUURRRRRVVVVVEEEE HIM!! Kang-To yaaaa!!

Other aspect that i love is its packed with great and amazing action scenes that shot beautifully awesome. The action scenes not the kind of 'arranged action', its really fits the drama reallu well. Will not forget the fashion parade...that should be mentioned here. I love the old fashion style, whether the suit and dress or the hairdo...they all awesome!!

To be fair, the minus thing about this drama is the characters naming. A person can have more than TWO or even MORE name in this drama. You have too keep up to remember all of their name :)

Love to watch and re-watch this drama!!!!

Kang-To ya!!!!!!!!!!
