Should I watch Nirvana in fire before watching this, or doesn't in matter for the context?
The stories aren't really connected, so you could watch this without having watched NIF1, however they do mention some stuff that happened in NIF in NIF2, so if you want to get all the details and understand how some characters are connected, I do recommend to check out NIF first. I Think NIF2 would be more enjoyable if you watched NIF first.
I also really like the message at the end that PJ realized that he shouldn't live as a replacement of his brother and fullfill something that he thought his family wanted of him (to continue as a general and all that). He realized that his brother would've wanted him to be happy and happiness is to follow your own goals and not live someone else's goals. It's very cool how he decided to leave and live a quiet life in the mountains and leave the Chang Lin house and the general title. He decided to follow his dreams instead of giving in to the non-existing pressure and expectations he always felt. He did tell the Emperor that if he ever needed him, he would come to his aid to the Capital so....PJ should live his life however he wants. It's a very nice message <3
Amazing drama! I loved it to death :D <3 The angsty bromance between Pingjing and Yuanqi D'X <3 I wish someone could've understood the underlying problem Yuanqi had....sure he was a psycho but there was a reason why he became such a monster T_T He was such a pitiful character and it was all the late Emperor-Emperor's fault... I also found it so cool how Lin Xi was such a modern and independant woman. I love how the drama portrayed her like that. She loves PJ but she also wanted to see the World and not just be a woman who patiently Waits for her husband back at home. I'm surrpised China decided to make such a female lead -applause-. I hope we'll get more females like her in asian dramas :D A lovable woman who is independant and who has other goals in life besides marrying a good man.
While the dramas on this list are ranked, I can say that the first 4 are basically tied for first place xD I can't pick between Six Flying Dragons, Time Between Dog and Wolf, Sparrow and White Christmas. Those 4 dramas are my all time favorite dramas <3
Okay, I have so much to say about this drama I don't even know where to start from.Firstly, Gil Tae Mi, I love…
Yes this is very much based off of real historical facts. The bridge and Po Eun's Death for example is taken right out of history records. Even the thing Yi Bang Won and Po Eun said to each other Before Po Eun died is a real quote. Most of the characters existed in real Life. Just check wikipedia. Events too. Some are fictional but a lot are taken straight out of history books. That's one of the reasons why this drama is so Amazing xP
