They took away the 3 things that made the first season so amazing 1. funny 2. epic battles 3. Wang Ye It's soooooooooooo boring!! and also-- Why there is no daylight in this season? everything happens at night, very annoying.
> All the father wanted was for his eldest son to inherit the kingdom he built from the ground upThe father…
But I didn't see that 'cruelty' expressed in the series. He didn't just randomly kill innocent people or anything like that. And he wasn't cruel to his son either; rather, he showed him quiet support behind the scenes despite all the opponents he had. If anything, the son's character is much more cruelโhe's called the 'God of Killing' and he even breaks someone's neck based only on suspicion without any proof.
This drama is visually stunning, but it has some serious plot issues and character problems:
The Sister's Endless Mistakes: Why does the main character allow his sister to make mistake after mistake? Letting her marry and run away with a child murderer just because she decided she was "in love" with him is not the behavior of a loving brother; it's a level of stupidity bordering on wickedness.
The Refusal to be Emperor: Why doesn't he want to be the Emperor? What's the difference between being a General? An Emperor, if anything, could be more merciful and have greater influence. Just because his father had a twisted view of the role doesn't mean the son should abandon it entirely. Plus, he says his sister will be the Empress, and heโll kill anyone who opposes herโso what did you even achieve with your refusal?! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
The Hypocrisy of the Parents: It's frustrating that the show portrays his mother as a saint and his father as the villain. All the father wanted was for his eldest son to inherit the kingdom he built from the ground up, and she runs off threatening divorce and parental alienation. Instead of raising him to be a merciful Emperor, she acts like a feminist snob who "doesn't need a man." What did she think would happen when she chose to have children with the Emperor??
The "Wanderlust" Trope: What is the deal with the Chinese drama obsession with the goal of "I don't want to be Emperor; I just want to travel the world..."? We all want to travel the world like irresponsible, carefree hippies without working hardโthat's not some noble aspiration! Get a grip and take on the role you were born into, especially when there's no one better for the job. This storyline encourages appalling parasitism and a lack of responsibility!
But if you ignore all of that - this series is a masterpiece โค
One thing I don't understand, let's say all of this is true - where was her family until now?! What did they remember now, after she died? They should have taken care of her since she started dating him and prevented it!
I watched it because I was curious but I skipped a lot...
1. funny
2. epic battles
3. Wang Ye
It's soooooooooooo boring!!
and also-- Why there is no daylight in this season? everything happens at night, very annoying.
