I was watching this drama only because I like Wang Kai. The most annoying part was when he was shoted in hospital accident and no one care to tell us about what happened with him. I know he isn't a friend of the professor, but it's rather strange.

Hi! Does it really have 1 hr. 30 min. per episode?

One of the princes can't marry her because then they have too much military power. The emperor will never allow such a thing.

I am going to watch it because of Wang Kai, also I like that kind of stories.

In novel translation is mentioned that her father is dead, I think he was 君王 (jungwang) in Yunnan, and she is 君主 (jungzhu), his daughter. Duke is 公(gong), there was Qing-gong at the beggining of the series.

I watched not so many of japanese dramas, but I saw him in Atsuhime. He was good.

Thanks! Maybe I will watch it while doing something else, because comments about the drama are not very promising.

Hi! Is it worth watching, if I only interested in Jo Hyun Jae?

Thank you!

Hi! Good article. But you have a small mistake here. The poster for Nirvana in Fire is from Imperial Doctoress.

I am from Russia and since Assembly is not popular, I expected it wouldn't be translated or it will take a lot of time. Funny but there is a fangroup that made a voice dubbing for Punch and subs available only for 15th episodes. So since I prefer subtitles and didn't want to wait, I watched part of drama with english subs. I maybe not good at writing in english, but my level is enought to read, unfortunatly Punch have to many special terms in it.

I was interested in Assembly since it was announced. I glad there is a team who translate it into my language, because I watched half of Punch with eng sub and not sure I completely understand it. Going to start it as soon as translation be completed.

I like Kyun Mi Ri as Queen in Jumong.

Firstly, she should never have any relationship with 8th prince, since she is an Emperor's women even after leaving the Palace. This was a law in that time. And that crime punished by death as far as I know. From a human point of view I understand her, but it was her mistake from the start and she continues to commit further crimes. Lying for Emperor is also a crime. It's a human tragedy because both of them, Zhen Huan and Emperor (and everyone else during that time), have a certain role in life and society and that role always counted above person. I think if the Emperor had a choice, he preferred to be a good husband and father, but instead he must think about his country first. His role as Emperor ruined his personal life, his love and attention was at the same time blessing and curse for the harem women.

It will be in the next ep. But they messed with timeline. Between wedding and revolt it must be around 5th months.

In ep 33 or 34 Joo Won told In Woo why he thinks, princess didn't choose him (IW). I don't doubt In Woo love, but that reason quite logical. Besides, there is often something selfish in IW action toward the princess, while she and JW place duty before themselves. It's like he thinks that knows better what will be good for her and doesn't consider her own principles and thoughts on the matter. It's sad because her free spirit and bravery was that caught his attention.

Yes, their understanding and care for each other are great. For me princess romance part sometimes too modern and actors do not match well in such a scene. But I like that part where she gives up her own happiness and decide marry In Woo for the country and her brother sake. It's filled with great sense of honor and understanding of royals duty. Every time someone asks about what Joo Won will think about it, I thought that he will understand and be more concern about princess than himself.

Great article! Thank you.
I also think that the romance part is the most boring. The only kiss scene was so out of place in my opinion that I was hesitant to watch further after 24-25 ep. Scene there princess was dragged out from the battlefield while crying for Joo Won also was distracting. Gladly later we return to the politics. I think if authors concentrate more on how Joo Won support his princess and her ideas it will be better. For example, I like the relationship between Kang Joo Sun and his wife (she always support him no matter what), Kim Gae Shi and king.

Thank you!
