"Gun, Glory, Sad Ending." This series is excellence in vision and execution.

Mr. Sunshine has little to do with its title and is not bound by borders, linguistics, historical timings or individuals in a cast. You find every culture echoed that has ever struggled for freedom from tyranny and a piece of yourself in every character from revolutionaries to adversaries, from nobles to slaves. They all live somewhere within each of us. 

This series, expertly written, acted, directed and filmed, does more than captivate; it captures your gut and your spirit and takes your breath away, one episode at a time. Beyond the Korean political history as its backdrop, there is a profound love story with a depth of tenderness rare in modern dramas.

Great historical SEASON. 

From a cinematic and story telling point of view it was in all sense of the word a masterpiece. While my eyes where burned raw, I found that the deaths of each character was fitting to who they where. 

I thought initially that the message was imbodied in tragedy but actually after seeing how the fruits of their labour had grown my outlook on the the show had changed. While they may be dead, the road that they had paved and the people that they had protected stayed alive and strong, the battle is not lost and the fight does not end with them.

Drama

Set in the early 1900s, this drama tells the story of a young man from Korea who grows up in the United States. When he returns to Korea as a US Marine Corps officer, he meets and falls in love with a noblewoman who is fighting for Korean independence. Their romance is complicated by social class and political ideology.
