Banriona

Hours have passed since my first watch of the 5 released episodes and I am already thinking about a rewatch. For the record: this has never happened before. I am still thinking about that scene on the battle field when He Simu performed a song for the general. It felt intense and magical.

Hm, it depends. Generally I don’t like anything that makes my heart bleed. I start watching shows and often never finish them bc cdramas tend to squeeze the most tragic scenes in the latter half of the show. For now Dilraba‘s character set up as a very powerful individual gives me great confidence that she will be almost untouchable (for now). So I am really enjoying it rn. + I get your feelings about worrying you might miss out on certain details. But I guess I am simple in that way: I cannot miss smth I don’t know exists. And I like being kept curious about something. That’s how the effect of a mysterious character stays fresh.

You‘re quite quick! I also need the assurance that it’s a happy ending, to prepare myself for an eventual heartbreak. But we never know what’s going to happen in this adaptation. These 5 episodes were just an appetizer and I bit right through it.

I like it when a tv show changes details as such to make thinks more sensibel. It hasn’t been long since you‘ve read this novel to rmb these details as it seems.

Thank you so much for your elaborate answer. I also quite enjoy the visuals and almost always read the novel a tv show is adapted from to quench my desire for spoilers; especially if it’s that exciting. But since I don’t have to wait for another week for new episodes, this will not be necessary.

How close does the tv show seem to go along with the plot of the novel? I am thinking about picking up reading the novel as well

What a successful marketing strategy to upload the first 5 episodes and end it with a cliff hanger. I am glad I only need to wait for tmr for more.

This show commends me to write my ever first comment. Thrilling, ethereal and enticing. I love it! Cannot wait for more episodes ~
