Impressive first episode.
I only did it a try, because at least for me, Heong Seong Tae is really one of the best leading actors in Korea. His range of acting is impressive. From dark side character to kind of low profile one, he always brings it on !
I had not very high expection on this TV show (apart for HST), but if the following episodes on par with this very first one, it will be an excellent one. The scenario is smart and all characters play very well their parts...
This said, I entirely agree with rararmutt's comment !
For the moment, my rating : 8,5 - 9 Edit : after the last episode, 9 + !
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eyes in the head of a poet Orson Welles.

Was it a true bronze Apollo, dating x years before B. C. ?
There are some reasons to doubt about it, but personally, after having enjoyed this doc, frankly : I don't care !
The story is about giving hope, joy and enlightenment to all of us reaching for a better world.
It also about the dark sides of what's going on, at different levels, but anywhere on our planet, for most of us.
This documentary was made with great sensitivty, passion, restrained, not taking side, how should a real documentary filmmaker behave : put facts, show what we know and what we don't, and let us choose our own opinion on a topic.
I had to wait 3 years to be able to see it, couldn't put my hand on it, and finally, and ironically, could watch in the original language, French, and on the Swiss replay Television network. In my own country !
Another amused wink of life... :-) Last but not least, beautiful score and images.
Kudos to the director and all involved in it.
A simple beauty, a mystical story !
Orson Welles's quote resumes it much better than my comment... a film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet Orson Welles.
