Just curious if this General Li and bai yimei arc was originally in the novel or It's a drama creation to pave…
Regarding the title: Yes, the rebel government/court gave him that. There are basically two courts right now: the one in power (Qing) and the rebels down south (Ming). This series takes place during the fall of the Ming dynasty and the rise of the Qing dynasty in its place.
I’m normally not into modern-times shows, but I always enjoyed the ML appearances in other shows, so I gave it a shot. I like it a lot. Like Joy of Life and similar shows, the main characters here drive the story rather than have stuff happening to them and always only react.
Looks like ppl are missing the point to y us arabs are mad and y an apology is not enough. First, y would they…
It's like all you guys got send the same template and you just edit a few words. Muslims don’t drink bla bla, Muslims dont go to bars bla bla, we are proud bla bla and we have history bla bla. That one dude was an a**hole. Nothing more and nothing less. He didn’t represent anything but the character in a fictional story. Nothing against Muslims, but they do drink, they do go to bars and even in really strict countries they have secret parties with or without the knowledge of the authorities (money is king). Do you live under a rock or are you just so naïve? Besides what’s wrong with that anyway? And don’t pretend like other people are always presented in a positive light in Arab media. It’s just how things are. Roll your eyes and move on.
I finally started this drama and damn I'm so glad I did it because this one is not like ither xanxia dramas. No…
So its different from others of this genre is because the female lead is not annoyingly childish? 🤣 No hate, was wondering if this drama is good so i looked through the comments 🙈
Spoiler: If you dont want to be disappointed by a series, dont watch this… seriously… I really feel bad for all the actors involved.
Started well enough to keep my interest. But know at episode 20 it became unwatchable… Council of useless elders, no wonder they never found any demons before. And, so many gullible and naive characters. The worst part is that these stupid characters get so much screentime to explain their stupid behaviors. The „good“ guys are like a bunch of children in grown peoples bodies (that would acutually fill in a lot of plotholes).
Best moment so far is: Students get attacked by demon poison during the trial and the elders be like: What do you mean there were demons here? There is no proof! 🙄
I hate how it ended. For me, relationships need to have a balance. There was already an inbalance at the start of the relationship because he did way more for her and that never got balanced out.
Towards the end he begged her to stay but she wanted to go anyway. Apparently she then missed multiple get-togethers because of work. And to knock the whole scale of the table, she then breaks up with him. After that we get some „funny“ scenes of them rekindling their relationship while ignoring what just happened.
I would rather have them move on from each other and find happiness with other people or other things. If the writers wanted them to get back together so badly, they should have made the ML initiate the break-up and then the FL rushing work to get back earlier. That would have at least brought back the balance a little bit.
But thats just my opinion. I‘m just here to vent my frustration…
Dropped it at episode 10/11. The FL just looks annoyed all the time. I dont know why she keeps her face like that all the time because the actress does have other expressions… just ruins every scene that demands other expressions for me. And now with the introduction of the annoying friend from the past, I can already predict that she will be falsly recognized as the missing daughter of that one clan, will fool everyone for quite some time, will be annoying AF and somehow force the ML to get engaged with her…
Maybe I will pick it back up once part 2 gets released…
At the end when the ML and the girl sit in the car. She asked him if it was worth it for the money and threw it away and then he hands her the phone and jumps into the river. What was said on the phone that made her realise its not about money? Not sure if I missed something or the translations were wrong 😅
Never have I felt so empty after the 1st episode of a Korean drama. They usually start very strong or are bad, but never have I had no opinion... It wasn’t good or bad. Stuff happened and then the episode was over.
Confused about Min Woo and So Mi situation. My prediction was after So Mi told him that he need to find a way…
Well, he did try to get her fired multiple times. Just not in a psycho/evil-mastermind type of way, which we have seen hundreds of times already. I mean, “jealous co-worker tries to get the main character fired and ends up being fired himself/herself”-plot has been done enough times already. And I think after each fail, he regretted what he had done. For example, after the article he wrote, he got called out multiple times and he had that look on his face. And in the end, he just didn’t want to admit that someone like the main character could be more capable than him (the outburst in the parking lot when he finally admits that Woo Young Woo is the strong one out of the 3 new lawyers). He finally moved on after he saw that Woo Young Woos strategy, which was dismissed by their superior, is the way to win the last case.
But yeah, I agree. After that night in Jeju he got too “friendly”. I’m almost sure he had a more fleshed out character in the script. Sometimes 16 episodes are just not enough 😊
But overall, I found his character very interesting. For me he was a different perspective on the main character and made me ask myself: How much should the rules be bent for a person with a disability? What is fair for everyone? Can it even be fair? Can it even be called unfair if the rules are bent? Can you compete for a position with a person with a disability? What’s too much? Who deserves it more if the involved people are equally hardworking?

The Ming dynasty lost against the Manchu people, who established the Qing dynasty. They are in power now.

What‘s frustrating and what‘s misleading? It‘s how I felt. Maybe you enjoyed it and I‘m sure many others enjoyed it and thats fine.
I doubt that my comment will even deter new viewers as it is marked as spoiler.
