It's not lack of backbone. He was trying to persevere for so many years, with his mom dead and only being chased…
This alone tell me you didn’t actually understand a word I said and It seems to me like you’re only understanding the story through Khem’s eyes and that honestly says enough to me. Like you said to me, put yourself in anyone else shoes in the story other then Khem and think about how you’d feel. I’m thinking about the fact that everyone else is sacrificing so much for him and he’s constantly throwing that away in an attempt to “not let them die to save his ass”. Whether intentionally or not by episode 12 he is selfishly wasting everyone’s attempts at keeping him alive. I seriously doubt that you’re much, if at all, older than me but that’s fine I don’t know why that needed to be brought up as my beliefs in self sacrifice has nothing to do with my age. We’ll simply have to agree to disagree. Thanks for your time.

That might’ve been a fair answer in the first half of the show but not even that can explain his choices near the end. He believes that he’s the reason Peem has no one left (Grandma Si dying, Thong and Ake dying), which I don’t think is his fault, and after promising to not leave him, quite literally confirming that Khem is that all Peem has left, he still choose to leave him, if anything if he felt guilty he should’ve felt more inclined to stay and help him fight. How would you feel if the person you kept sacrificing for to be with and protect, just disappeared, unable to follow due to your duty to the village? Then even in the last episode after everything everyone went through to save him and being so close to breaking the curse, he was still willing to step out of the ring and die. If the monk hadn’t stopped him then everything everyone literally just went through would’ve been in vein. Jet and Charn would’ve almost died for nothing, Peem would’ve lost his spiritual powers for nothing, his mom soul almost dissipating to protect him would’ve been for nothing, like truly I could keep going. I don’t think Khem deserved any of the pain he went through BUT he was just too willing to die after all his loved ones went through to keep him alive. You can say whatever you want but that’s simply my take. Don’t get me wrong I love Khem and I literally cried with him at several point in the show but you have to be lying to yourself if you seriously don’t see my point at all.
I really really love this show but I’m starting to think Khem is just suicidal at this point like he has very little will to live and absolutely no backbone at all. It makes me feel bad for the people who are trying so hard and risking so much to protect him just for him to be either A. Running away or B. Giving up his life…
The absolute VISUALS of Keng and Net are insane! They were smart to only have Net for 3 episodes, I don’t think my heart could’ve taken 12 episode of them both. Petition for a KengNamping x NetJJ show next!
This show was truly amazing!! The ending is by far one of the best I’ve ever seen and if anyone has any recommendations with similar endings PLEASE lmk!!
For me he got worse. In the end I wanted to get him a one-way ticket to the sun. It wasn’t really his uselessness…
I literally just paused episode 12 just to see if anyone felt the same way. The fact that he was so willing to go out of the ring despite it meaning everyone’s efforts would’ve been for nothing really put the nail in the coffin for me for his character.
I’m only on ep 4 but the acting of the ML kinda makes me… I don’t know uncomfortable? Like something about the way he’s pushy and the way he goes about things makes me uncomfortable
The way I actually sobbed violently when I thought they killed my man Shen Lang and then sobbed even harder when I found out he was alive, got to see his son be born, and even raised him for a few years 😭
Kinda throws you into the story and can be a bit confusing but if you're into reallyyyy really slow burns (like falls in love in the last 5 episodes kinda slow) and you like war heavy and royal power struggles type dramas then you'll like this, I came for the romance so I wouldn't say I binged it as fast as dramas like love of the divine tree where it balanced romance and power struggle perfectly imo but I really enjoyed it nonetheless and the ending was by far the most perfect ending I have ever watched I rewinded it like 6 times bc its so adorable and all loose end were tied up perfectly
First legend of the female general now this, why do they keep killing off kind hearted characters who deserve a happy future in THE LAST EPISODE ??? Literally cried my eyes out
Wait who else died other than Yan I can’t lie I was skipping after chu zhao went evil
that’s totally fair, she was such a minor character that her dying probably didn’t affect that many people I just felt so bad because all she did was love him silently and still died because of him, in the last episode no less
I watched Love of the divine tree and heard this was a good one to follow up with after and though it's not as good as LOTDT it was still enjoyable until the last 3 episodes that is. I had originally planned to give it a 10 because it was really good, I love a strong FL, and I had knew prior that it was gonna be a happy ending so how could they mess this up right ? Wrong, Chu Zhao was tolerable and even pitifully but he completely threw that out the window when he single handedly cause 2 character to die in the LAST EPISODE who DID NOT need to die. I won't get into who because of spoilers but it made me drop my ratings from a 10 to a 8, I only made it a 8.5 because the moonlight kiss in the end was beautiful but I'm really disappointed, I hate when dramas kill off kind hearted characters in the last episode for the sake of the villain "coming to their senses" and causes unnecessary conflict at the last second.
Seonwoo definitely grew on me after i think ep 8, i wanted Junseong and Seongho to be together so bad and i felt like Seonwoo was just intrested in Seongho because Junseong was (since Seonwoo was originally intrested in Junseong) and that he was too fickle and constantly made me angry but i started to gradually like him more and more and liked when the trio interacted becuase they were all so precious
Anyone else couldn't stand Minseong ?? Like he was severly playing with their feelings imo and was selfish way to many times, even making me gradually dislike HyeongJin too
