In Ep 1, you see Marquis Pingjin kill off ML's entire family and his Dad's disciples. In Ep 9, ML finds a secret chamber in Marquis' home that holds the bloody clothes of his parents - and his mother's skin (cue gag and vomit).
ML is impersonating FL's long lost half brother Hongrang. He's got a backstory of his own and a reason for infiltrating the Sim household. Don't want to spoil too much, but they aren't related at all by blood.
I'm getting Count of Monte Cristo vibes from this. Wondering about jumping in, but I've never really really followed…
If you've watched and enjoyed Nirvana in Fire or Joy of Life, you might like this. They are all very distinct from each other, however, so it's maybe best to check out the first 3 eps (warning: ep 1 is bloody) to decide.
For me, by ep 7, I'm hooked. You are invested in his revenge after you get to see all the villains do their horrible stuff.
These rich and powerful, no matter what era, have always considered common people as disposable tools. Zang Hai represents all of us, fighting for a chance to live a respectable life. Can't wait to see these poops get what they deserve.
The tonal shifts in this drama can be jarring (between comedy/drama), but the dramatic moments in ep 4 were spot on for me. Getting help for alcohol dependence or abuse is never easy.
Haven’t seen/heard anything about the 20th, so we’ll see.
To be fair, nothing was ever announced that there would be anything on the 20th, there were only rumors. The 17th was the only confirmed date per DW's official fan club.
I was afraid at the halfway mark, things would start to drag or sag as they often do. Glad to see more depth to all the characters, including supporting ones.
