I'm sure this is not news to many of you - but if you haven't seen "The Slave Hunters," - DO. A great and cohesive story about social issues in the Joseon era, based on fact.  great action sequences with derring-do  martial arts, grisly torture, sexy romance, romantic romance, pathos, humor, triumph and tragedy - and all in 24 eps.  And SO many familiar faces, seen in  other historicals and contemporary dramas, too.  Notable: Kim Kap-Soo in a supporting role as the king; but you'll recognize a dozen, easily, in large and small supporting roles, and even cameos.  This won lots of awards in Korea in 2010, and it deserved them.

One of the most talented actresses has a small supporting role, as an aristocrat wife, married to one of the more conflicted characters (one you love to hate) -  she realistically portrays a woman with cerebral palsy, intelligent but severely handicapped, whose husband married her to get ahead.

WATCH IT - YOU'LL LOVE IT!
