This drama series is full to the brim with interesting characters and talented actors. It's also very well done cinematically, with lots of outdoor scenery and historically realistic costumes.
While there is a certain amount of "monster of the week" plots, there is also the overarching journey of the lead character which takes place throughout the series. The main characters are well developed through the episodes, which helped me get emotionally invested in their story. There is also some good, and some not so good, use of CGI, but it doesn't over-power the acting or action scenes.
Asian dramas are not the same as American sitcoms, so they can take some getting used to, but I've found them to be an excellent source of good, compelling entertainment. Wu Xin, The Monster Killer, is a great place to start exploring a different kind of TV viewing.
