When you said it, I thought maybe the reason why the first MV had half the drawings and there was no animation at the end; The first MV is about CG and her journey, so this area has a background that progresses from the manga. But the ending MV is about CG and AS's hearts towards each other and depicts the feelings that grow between them and the way those feelings develop... So that's what the manga doesn't have yet. Almost everything here is new and not based on manga. Screenwriters give it to us. They wouldn't mix with the drawing here because the illustrations are like a tribute to manga. it's just a thought.. maybe they were too lazy and it was difficult for them to draw these illustrations for both of them XD

LSM's real/fake animation scene... Don't say it at all... The only thing I hated about the drawing scenes in the drama was the real images they put in between those drawings... How fake and childish it looks :D One is good on its own and the other is artistic on its own.. Why is it so horrible when these two beautiful things come together XD Because they don't match... They should have separated those two worlds X'/

You described it very well. I don't know if there is a time when a person can be more lonely than that moment. When she lost the two people she had in her life after her family, and the last person standing before her as her enemy... No one was left behind... As you said, the only thing that could warm her was cold and stinging snowflakes. Everything was so much... even though it was just a fiction, I was complaining 'please give her some time to breathe'.

In the ending MV
-The moment when AS slightly lowered his head and squinted with a facial expression that said 'don't do it'... (It touched me since the first time I saw it, I kept wondering what made him do this.. In my eyes, the way he depicted something fragile there with his facial expressions was very original and special. I thought it was a very different portrayed . I carefully weighed that expression on his face each time. And if I accidentally crossed that place, I would rewind to see that moment and retake MV... Probably very silly.. I can't even explain exactly why I was so obsessed with it.)
-The moment when the two of them fought back to back (When they were still at the very beginning and they hadn't even met as enemies yet, reaching the moment when they would fight together seemed like a dream.)
-Those two seconds where a fighting man I don't know appears (Something there made me feel different, almost every time... It's like something stuck inside me for just a second. It's one of those moments I never skip... Because I didn't understand what was going on. That person also didn't join with the story somehow. And when he did, I had a hard time convincing myself that Langlang was that person in the MV. At certain moments someone looks so different from what they really are. I guess it was about that.)
-The scene where AS swivels the ground sword and throws it forward
-The scene where AS is flying whirlingly with his sword over the top of the men in his brown armor (What is that!! I can't explain my admiration for this scene...)
-HD-Sheer duel
In short, I was looking forward to every battle/fight scene that came out there :D
Thats it.. X) Now that I've laid out my own stones, I can now embrace my curiosity and wait to see yours :))

In the opening MV:
-The moment when arrows flew past AS (interestingly, he looked very cool and nervous. What's going on with him there... His facial expression and situation had an effect that worried me.)
-The moment when CG screams with her armor
-The snowy scene where CG hands a box-like thing to AS (The first moment in the MV where the real scene slowly turns into a drawing... (and that transition was sooo.. beautiful.. Exactly the same image but much more artistic... I would admire that transformation every time.) So this scene seemed so critical and epic... 'How are FL and ML going to get to this point'... İt was exciting to think about how we will reach that moment when there was nothing yet. I was saying 'big things will definitely happen when this scene comes along'. So this was the place I was most curious about compared to all the others.)
-And the man who cuts own throats with grace reminiscent of a dance move... (I found this place strange because of the comment I gave below and kept thinking 'who is this?)
-And finally, the moment when they shot arrows at each other... (This was probably going to be a very important moment. Also, that real arrow getting stuck in the battlefield that turns into a drawing and that flute melody that came into play at that moment - was one of my favorite place in the song... and that transition that progressed through the fighting men and dust of the battlefield then became clear and slowed down in the standing CG... How beautiful and cool!! It was a depiction that made you say, 'She's definitely going to be a strong FL')

Speaking of opening and closing MVs... there's something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time... I don't know if this has been discussed here before. When we just started watching the series, especially in the first episodes or in the continuation, before watching the scenes, before learning the events and getting to know the characters fully.... those times when we had no idea about anything... İn two MVs.. Which moments that you hope to come as soon as possible, or touches something inside you, or that you like to watch the most during the whole MV (even at that moment when your head is turned in another direction for different reasons and you realize that the scene has passed, you rewind it and insist on watching it again every time :D), or make you feel different emotions even though you have no idea what is going on?? Have you had a similar thought to any of these?... Alright.. I'll start first (a bit too many.. sorry for that :));

Yes.. He was one of a key characters for the story... but actually, I have no idea if this (the link i mentioned in the comment) was the case for those who prepared that MV, but even if it is a random thing for them, at least it is good for us to make some things more meaningful than they are with the ties we have established in our minds :)

Frankly, I did not have the opportunity to read any of your comments or the answers given to you, unfortunately, so I will say these by making an inference from what you wrote in general. Actually, as someone who has been around for a long time and knows the crew here, I can say that the general attitude has never been this. If they think someone has misunderstood or tought deficientany of the characters, someone from the crew here will come right in and say like 'Wait a minute, this is not like that.. I think you're misunderstanding him-her/situation a bit. There are these events and that events here and there, and as a result, that's not really what's happening here.' they reveal details that the person maybe did not pay attention to or did not notice and help her understand the character. (Because since the beginning, almost all the characters, events and stories have been studied in great detail and there have been long conversations and analyzes on them. That's why most people here are familiar with most of these details.) The general attitude has always been this. If you've seen a different attitude, maybe you said something before that you would ignore or belittle what they valued and what they've come up with by doing too much analysis and investment. It is possible that you may have done something to make them take a stand against you before :) because I witnessed that none of them just attacked different comments or opinions easily as you said, except in a situation like this. We usually try to explain in an appropriate way.

Like many of you, I didn't skip the opening- ending MVs in any ep. (This is very rare. Very very.. :)) And when I just started watching the drama, there was a small point that bothered me about the opening MV in the first episodes where I haven't watched the scenes there and haven't seen/ knew most of the side characters yet. In general, the scenes went in harmony with the lyrics of the song, so it was a pleasure to watch this at the beginning of every episode... but there is only one moment where the song connects with the title of the drama.. In that single moment where the name of the main character (so the name of the drama) is mentioned in the song, why do I need to see a side character kill himself, whose face I can't even see?! Why do they put a side character in that critical moment when the song and the series are integrated? This thought started the moment I watched the MV while following the lyrics of the song for the first time and I kept thinking the same thing in the same place while watching it in every episode. Who was there should have been the main character. FL or if not that, at least ML. I thought that way every time...
Until the moment I came to episode 15 and realized that Gongsun Heng's death was one of the most critical step and junction in CG's growth journey and was the beginning line of her long ballad stretching out to the grassland (so the land to which she will belong for the rest of her life)... From that moment on, the initiation of that crucial scene at that crucial moment became quite meaningful to me.

I agree that this is getting pretty tiring. I have not read what you wrote yet, I will read it at the first opportunity.. but here is what I saw as a result of many comments and our analysis; Maybe in order to see what we are talking about, it is necessary to see the character, her experiences, personality and many finely processed points and expressions together, holistically. You have to see the whole flow of the story and the growth/change of the character with the required perspective, and your mind should combine them all. There is a deep knot formed by the combination of threads that you cannot see if you don't look carefully... Near-transparent threads that are constantly tied together from the beginning to the end of the story... Those ties that are not presented to you by being painted in eye-catching colors.. so even though they are right in front of your eyes, your eyes may not notice their presence when you just watch and pass by without thinking about it. There's a reason we find so much to talk about on this page. If everything about the main couple was clear and superficial enough that you could see it at a single glance, so many people wouldn't be on an expedition that you can only do in deep waters in so many comments since it started airing. There are two opposite things that can make people talk so much; Superficial and shallow wars (People like to argue and defend to the death things they can't even count too many point if you ask why they love it)... or complex, deep stories that you need to search between the lines and collect and combine, open to discovering and enriching with different perspectives, which will open new horizons for you as you think... This is a picture that can only be clarified with the help of a little thought, investment and maybe many people's perspectives. It would be wrong to expect this from everyone. Most of us watch something to relax and have a good time. Times when I don't have to strain my brain... That's what we love, and there's nothing more normal than that. But just.. Maybe they shouldn't criticize so carelessly when there are so many people who notice things they don't realize because they haven't thought about them.. Maybe because they haven't read all these analyzes or comments, they don't realize that something is out there. That's why we can leave everyone to watch as they are and the way they want, and focus on new things we can discover. Because the general common point of the people here is that we enjoy not only watching but also enjoy discovering and sharing these subtleties.. Otherwise we probably wouldn't have come together like this. So we will be less mentally tired and we will be happy by talking about our own favorite things and discoveries.

Thankss Linh I missed you too X') anddd where was this scene? it's been a long time since i watched it and i only watched once so i can't remember this scene clearly.

Where the dagger of the grassland was put in CG's hands in the first time.. her fate was already tied with grassland and 'the precious sun' of there...

I think I may have seen her once when I was browsing here :D and also if i was around probably i would join her too and those dirty looks would have doubled... XD

oh.. it's hard to remember these for someone who hasn't even completed her first viewing yet... i know you started these games.. were they always this hard XD

X)) our thoughts always match..

XD Yes. No 'rrrrr'. Just short one 'r'. :) But Mejay?? What is that?

hahaa ... I think your effort is due to the difference in pronunciation between our languages. In my language this has a perfectly straight pronunciation. It never tires your tongue. Just select Turkish language in G...le Translate, write 'biri' and listen to the voice (we say it this way), you will see the difference with English :D so you tired your tongue a little in vain XDD I am sure that if we had read this word like English, I would have had more difficulty with its pronunciation than you. XD The letter R is my tongue's arch enemy. X')

When I watch that scene again, I will probably discover many nice details that you mentioned and didn't mention, then we can talk more about these beautiful moves with you here. My pouch is empty right now and I can only confirm you. I can't add another sentence XD

There's really a reason why we call him the best written ML :)

Oh absolutely.. Now I'm going to stop myself not to talk about that epic duel, because I've talked about it so much by now. XD There was no other moment when I could capture the excitement he generated. But the point you made about Lady Jinse and Langlang. I'm going to watch that scene again because I think I was too focused on their getting out of that situation at that moment and I didn't notice what point you said. But what a sensible detail indeed!
I don't have any knowledge or training in martial arts either, I can only make judgments based on what I've watched and reasoned about, but likewise... It's definitely one of the coolest things to me and I would love to learn. :))
