The whole season was Kai wanting DO's attention, Bekhyun being Bekhyun, DO and Xiumin's love, CC-couple, the new CBX (sorry Chen...), Sehun being the hint fairy. We cannot forget about Suho's moments...they were epic!!!

This is an exceptional drama. I have watched this till episode 34. The king was wise to back cao cao instead of the other duke. It may be difficult to understand if you are from a different culture. Eastern philosophies has evolved since thousands of years. I am from India. One of the greatest epics about mankind was written in my land, called 'Mahabharata'. The discussions and ideologies present in this epic tale is one of the examples of eastern philosophies. In this tale it talks about a prince who vowed never to marry, never to sire children, never to take the throne. All this so that his father, the king has fallen in love with a women and the father of that women wants her child to rule the nation. So, this prince does his duty as the son. But what about his duty as a prince? Which is more important? The good of the people or to keep his vows intact? This vow caused a war two generations down the line which wiped out the entire nation. Was he right in preserving is vow not be a king, no matter that the entire nation paid the price? Such questions are raised in this epic tale, about your duty, the greater good, the people of the nation...
The reason I liked this serial is because I know how it ends. The king leaves everything to avoid a war, if I am not mistaken. This is exactly a mirror image of the above problem. A different perspective, but talks about the same ethical and moral questions and dilemmas. A wise person knows when to step up to take the reins of his kingdom and when to let go. His priority is not to rule, but the people. Greater good of the people should be your Dharma, rather than your personal duties, vows, desires, and any claim you have on the throne. One of the best serials I have watched.
