Shoulda been marched through town in a cage getting rotten food thrown at him on the way to his execution or at least jail.

One reason I like short dramas is because the villains actually get dealt with appropriately.

Not...hmmm....whatever this is.

lol/smh

This.

No.

I don't know if I'd call this ending satisfying if I were being honest. With that said this is still one of the more beautiful c-dramas I've watched. Cinematography was top notch.

Told ya'll they were putting her on a redemption arc.

It'll be happy. Just probably not 'till ep. 36

There's no need to be *more* dramatic if the novel has sufficient drama.

I forgot there's a kidnapping plot too ya'll!!!!

lol/smh

Eh...plenty of them make sense even if I don't like them. And that's my point. This one actually doesn't make sense in the context of the story and what this emperor wants to accomplish.

What I'm saying is the sacrifice makes no sense. The emperor wants to dent the power of the Yus faction. You need allies, men for that. Ling is your secret weapon. The other military officials crew are your public facing allies so to speak. This is one drama where the military and the emperor weren't at odds BUT they still end up on the chopping block anyway. Emperors need allies too. I've watched enough c-dramas to know that. lol

lol

Also to be clear the General Mo storyline doesn't make sense b/c he was originally the emperor's man during his CP days. The reasoning was flimsy at best AND in a world where you're trying to establish your reign and take out your enemies you wouldn't causally make that type of decision about an ally who can act to buffer the other powerful faction.

ZL: I want to be powerful enough to protect the ones I love!

The Writers: Yeah. About that...

lol

My incessant bitching is no different than other's incessant praise. I'm not running around asking them why they like a shitty drama.

Are you being literal?

Ya'll I just saw the most ridiculous episode 32 preview on Twitter.

lol

I'm cackling ya'll.

DYING laughing.

Whew boy. Express should be fun tomorrow.

Sigh. Why would I be miserable over a drama? lol. Hate watching a thing is sometimes just as fun as watching a thing you enjoy b/c at this point it's fun to watch to see what levels of ridiculousness they are going to reach next.

I clearly said a "satisfying Yu downfall." Operative word being "satisfying". 18 episodes of torture and it all being over with an edict in one episode for a few minutes is not "satisfying".

Sigh. Way to miss the point.
