Episode 10 (20) - I think that is the best episode I have seen in any kdrama so far. I laughed out loud so many times, and there was those romantic moments too...
I would have liked to see a little more of that closure as well. However, I think the series ended where it should…
Yes, it was a good place to end the series. For me, the final scenes were far more satisfying than those in Mr Sunshine. I like your thoughts on the content for a 2nd and 3rd series.
Grand in its vision and epic in its story telling. Although some of the characters faded out in the end, you can’t give closure to everybody. One of the best sageuks to grace our screens.
I’m just hanging in there. Nearly dropped it at the end of ep 70, but of course the preview for next two eps has made me stay on for a fraction longer :)
I think that is fair. To me this has consistently been a drama that comes across a lot better than it actually…
Love does make the world go round (and love is grand).
Thank you for reminding me to look at the historical context. Pengcheng Wang seemed to be an amazing person. He obviously didn’t suffer fools (Including court intrigue) and from what I read did appear to treat people equally. So, yes, it would be good to see more of this.
So, at 30 eps my thoughts are: • First 12 eps brilliant; • Next 5 eps up and down; • Eps 17 - 22 very good; • Then it became drawn out - lost its focus; • Eps 27 - 30 very good/not too bad.
Our leads are brilliant, the villains have way too much luck and the Shen family deserves better. It seems to be heading from a must watch to an ordinary one. Perhaps, I am being too hard.
