Chuno follows the story of Lee Dae Gil, a man of high birth whose family was ruined when Tae Ha, who became a slave after being falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, burns down his house and escapes. Driven by his desire for revenge, he survives his harsh years on the street and makes his name as a slave hunter, dedicated in his pursuit of Tae Ha. Both men become entangled in a love triangle with Un Nyun, a runaway slave who became a nobleman's daughter.
Okay, well I'm only on episode 8 right now and there are 24 episodes, which I am very happy about. The drama is GREAT so far. There's action, romance, suspense and way more. (I'm not talking about the scary kind of suspense though.) It has been getting a lot of amazing ratings, topping "Will It Snow For Christmas?" and "Hero".
It takes place way back in the Joseon Dynasty. Obviously it's a historical fiction drama, so there will be parts where the officers and high ranked authorities talk about issues and such. I find those parts really boring, but what do you except in a historical fiction drama?
The acting done is pretty amazing. The fighting is epic and badass. I mean, it's not like those kung fu movies where they fly on roofs and stuff. Except the slave hunters are like monkeys, jumping everywhere, even on roofs. They do a lot of sword battles and the swordsmanship is wonderful in this drama. There's more strategy done than strength. I actually learned a running technique from this drama.
The storyline of this drama is really good. There are many parts of the drama that make you curious of what will happen next. Some parts of the drama (usually the end) made me literally slap my hand over my mouth. I promise you that at the end of each episode your jaw will drop, the previews will excite you and you'll be talking about it to your friends all day, even if they don't know what you're talking about.
Also, you will see a lot of abs in this drama ladies...a lot ;) Tae Ha (played by Oh Ji Ho) is very hot for an oldie. And I gotta say, Lee Dae Gil (played by Hyuk Jang) is pretty hot too. Not to mention Lee Dae Gil's two slave hunter mates.
But don't worry guys, there's a little eye candy for you too. Un Nyun (played by Lee Da Hae) and Seol-hwa (played by Kim Ha Eun) are gorgeous. Too bad back in the days girls had to be super pure. Am I right guys? ;) eh eh? Oh, and don't forget badass assassin, Yunji (played by Yun Ji Min)
So if you could handle a little gore I recommend you check this out. Great action, great adventure.
