Why do I feel like Sun Jing did all this to have a chance with the woman he loved. It's kinda sad that he finally marries her but he won't get to be with her for so long since she's plotting his downfall because of all the terrible things he's done
I said it before and I will say it again,ML character at the start of the drama was the "Marshal of Zheng army"…
In the beginning, Zhenxi Army was nothing more than a local garrison stationed to patrol the border at Laolan pass. He didn't become a Marshal until Sun Jing's rebellion and the only city he was able to conquer without the help of the FL's army was Wangzhou.
Considering the fact that she helps him stage the sham battle for General Fu and also attack Luoyang, I think it's crystal clear that they're allies at this point,not enemies therefore they struck a deal. He allows her to pass through Wangzhou to defend Yingzhou and she helps him attack Xichang to save his father. So tell me, how does that make him her lapdog?
I don't think Li Ni is foolish. He is someone who is very emotional and cares about the relationships he is establishing.…
He definitely did the right thing by not usurping his cousin; that's a decision that's largely based on morality not necessarily emotion. However, the sad truth is that his desire to save the old couple would have definitely gotten him killed if Cui Lin did not intervene. Maybe his character development has to do with not letting his emotions get the best of him.
I totally agree! Also people seem to forget that ML had already won Bingzhou and so FL would have obviously tried…
True, besides Zhenxi army has control over Wangzhou and Bingzhou. Giving the Cui Army control over Jiankou was the least they could do after the help they received from them. But they acted ungratefully and wanted to take it all. I don't blame Cui Lin for stealing the tiger tally
We might not like the fact that Cui Lin took advantage of Li Ni's feelings and gains concessions by stealing from him but the truth is that their country is at war and both leads are part of rival clans fighting for dominance in order to secure the throne or control over who sits on it. People don't win wars by acting honourably, they deceive, lie, cheat and spy on each other to win. Cui Lin is acting very realistically for a general who is at war and Li Ni is acting rather foolish by allowing his feelings (for someone who was his enemy not so long ago btw) to cloud his judgment.
This drama is my most anticipated drama this year but right now I'm so torn between watching it as it airs or binge-watching after its done because I usually find it difficult to complete on going dramas. Any advice?
