The White Truck of Doom

thankyou! Hope you do post more music. Will check back. That was great!

Park Shin Hye's wooden kisses detract from the dramas. Writers should just stick to having her hold hands or something, it would be less ridiculous.

#1 of all time ever that I've seen? The elevator kiss and many others between Yoon Kye-Sang and Jeon Do-Yeon in "The Good Wife" .

This drama also had alot of really good soundtracks.

I like Lee Jong Suk's acting. I think his nose looks really small, not natural.
But his acting is good.

I give it a 7. Would get a 10 except for the character for the lead female.
She's super violent and controlling over others. It's supposed to be cute? It's abusive.

I think she's psychopathic with her violence. It isn't even nearly normal. She lacks empathy for the people around her.

I'm at ep 13 and she's still psychotic/violent.

I like the drama and love the lead male - Choi Kang Soo.
I dislike the "lead" female. Her violent actions were bizarre and over the top, and made it impossible for me to empathize with her. (Bad writing?).
So I couldn't cheer on any romantic relationship between the violent female and anyone. I It just didn't give me any feels. If lead female hadn't been so abusively violent, the drama would get a 10 from me.

I'm almost at the end but can I say I feel "triggered" whenever the word "rebel" is used in this drama?

they had more interaction to build upon. The Qing Chen with Yuan Ling is just there. No interactions, no why, just plonk, they are a couple.
As beautiful a couple that they are, I can't feel any tears when bad things happen to them. I want to, it just doesn't happen.

could you mark your comment as a spoiler as a courtesy to others who haven't seen the drama?

I dropped it . Did not finish. Couldn't care about the characters.

agree. There was never a buildup to the relationship of OTP.
Feng Qing Chen had more interaction and building of relationship with Yuan Zhan.
I like the drama but don't get the "feels" for the leads.

True. to folks just watching, when the Preview comes up at end of each episode, do not watch, will ruin next episode.

true. And when he killed Jing Ke he strutted like a mad dog, showing the King couldn't hold it in. That part showed that Zhang Bin Bin is no ordinary actor.
Wow.

I cried the most when Han Shen was fighting and died. My gosh, I got attached to his character!

It wasn't happy but it made sense, given how each character's values were. Sun Li made a decision to teach the King what it was to lose a loved one by sacrificing herself. It really did make sense but it was sad. It fit her personality of altruism.

I saw it differently. Recall this - Li pretended she was attacking the King, ran towards him like she was, then turned her own short sword away from him towards herself.

Recall her last words to him, that she knew the only way he could be a good leader is if he lost someone HE really loved. And that was her.

She loved him but knew that he couldn't understand the suffering of people losing their loved ones to his wars. She gave her life to teach him what that felt like.

She could have saved her own life easily, but she provoked him.

She loved Jing Ke but had moved on from that.

Yes, I hated to see Han Shen killed but he was the type to die in battle or die for those he loves. Truly a righteous man. And my new crush!

The end can be seen as tragic or it can be seen as possibly important in having the King experience great loss so that he could be a better ruler.

I finished this drama last night. Vin Zhang Binbin is truly an amazing actor. Dilraba has her own pluses. But Wow Zhang Binbin. The last episode - genius.
And now i have a new crush -the actor Li Tai who played Han Shin - the noble, strong, silent, protective "white knight" type. :)

Han Shen forever! Can't wait to see Li Tai in other dramas. Calm, cool, collected.
