I don't understand why this drama has such a high rating. The beginning is great and the first third is quite good, but then it feels like the screenwriter forgot about the first third of the film and the characters' personalities. The characters suddenly become dumb, start acting out of character, and it all irritates me right up until the final episodes. I don't know, for me, based on the huge hype (I was really looking forward to it too) and expectations, this drama is the failure of the year.

The stupidity here lies more in leaving the villainous brother alive, despite the clear evidence against him. But that's the case in many other dramas, where the heroes always "pity" the villains so they can fight them in the final episodes. An example: Liu Yu Ning's recent excellent drama "Prisoner of Beauty." The main villain is responsible for the deaths of people, plotted against the clan, and schemed to get others killed. What more could she possibly have done to be killed? But in memory of her brother, the protagonist lets her go so she can continue her atrocities. Her ending was also interesting. After so many murders and deaths caused by her, she was given a merciful ending—she killed herself. The good general was hacked to pieces, then hanged, while the crazy villain met a noble death. So-so.

Regarding the illogicality of siding with the villain at the council. Well, they're already fed up with the main character's father. Especially since he doesn't listen to them and doesn't fulfill their whims. That's the whole answer. It's perfectly logical. He irritates them, they're against it, but they can't do anything about it. And then the father's brother shows up and offers them this opportunity. Bingo! It's not about the arguments. They're just idiotic and formal. The main thing for them was to oust the boss they'd grown tired of, using the same arguments they've always had. That's all. It's all over the place.
