I really enjoyed these books. They explained the characters and their loyalty better than the film did. Worth reading if you liked ‘The Man Who Lives with the King.’
Amir from Madrid, Espanha –
Os livros foram uma boa adição para entender melhor a história. Informações úteis, mas achei algumas partes longas demais.
Dmitri from Chicago, USA –
The books were interesting but pretty long. I liked the history, but sometimes it dragged a bit. They give more depth to the movie’s story though.
Giorgos from Athens, Greece (verified owner) –
The books gave good details about the characters. They explain their loyalty well and fill in story gaps from the film. It’s worth getting for any fan of historical dramas.

Mình mua bộ sách này và rất thích. Câu chuyện về Vua Danjong thật cảm động. Các nhân vật trong sách sống động hơn hẳn nhờ mô tả rõ ràng, dễ hiểu. Hơn nữa, việc vận chuyển cũng nhanh chóng đến tay mình.
