The first part I love it. Everything in this drama is good. The Martial Arts, the in-house fighting, the visuals are fantastic, and the music makes your heart beat as if it were marching with the soldiers. I can't believe that Leo Wu is only 22 years old. He is very mature and can act greatly. I just added more drama which he stars in. I'm impressed. I have watched many dramas with Zhao Lu Si in them. She is also very good. She drives me crazy with her acting because I love what she does. She can be so perky which is a great thing. I can watch her all the time. I can hardly wait for future dramas in which she is the main lead. I'm watching this on Viki-Rakuten but they are not showing it in 2 parts, they are showing it as one drama.

This will be a rewatch for me. I am looking at Leo Luo, as an actor, in a different light. I really didn't like the character in Ashes of Love! I was wrong to critique Leo Luo by just one drama. The character he played in Ashes of Love was so believable and for me, that is a sign of great acting ability. I decided to watch him in others, so far so good, right? This drama is the best I viewed Leo Luo. Man, he was great! And what can I say about Juqi... I loved her in the character she played in "Ashes of Love". She is already on my top favorite actress list. She was absolutely amazing here. The only thing I had a problem, her voice didn't sound like her so I am wondering if she was dubbed. Oh well, bygones are bygones. The visuals, the costumes, the fighting was great. I really didn't pay attention to the music because the storyline had me focused. I'm glad that the writers decided not to have too much of that woman on woman competition for a man. I think others will enjoy this. AND those who mark this below an 8 are totally wrong. This was a great story. I viewed a lot of actors/actresses just in this drama alone. I thank them all. Leo Luo will be in top favorite actors after watching 4 other dramas he is in.

The family of four what con artist they are but had to get out of where they were... I understand. They way they conned their way in... is unbelievable. Alcoholics, a bunch of them! Now I understand why the name of this movie is called Parasite. Wow, they ended up owning it. I was saddened by one of the deaths. This not my type of movie but I was curious about what it was about after hearing the controversy. I mean, okay writers, how did you all come up with this type of story? This is the weirdest movie I ever viewed. The imaginary thought process is something that needs to be put on the screen. That picnic scene was definitely crazy.

Kim Young Dae (Lee Heon), I want to see more from this actor with his impressive acting. I really sobbed my eyes out on this storyline. Park Ju Hyun (Ye So Rang), she was made to play this role and a very convincing actress. I applaud her. Kim Woo Seok (Lee Shin Won), I felt empathy for the character he played. KWS grabbed my heart and I was somewhat rooting for him to get the girl. His character was so loyal to the emperor. The storyline of who did it, who did what and why had me focused. What a great ending! I loved the storyline and another drama that made me weak at the knees. oh well. Thanking all the crew which includes the actors, actresses, directors, writers, and staff. You all did a great job. Another great martial arts drama.

This was really a cute storyline, I enjoyed it. I needed to smile and this made me smile all the way to the last episode. Liu Te playing Gu Rong Yan is cute and being a new actor, I thought he did very well. LT is very tall at 6.2. As he also towered over Ling Mei Shi who played Su Jing Jing. I loved the strong character she played. The storyline I loved. It was different than other storylines. I love everything Liu Te wore, he looks good in leather. The one outfit that Ling Me Shi wore, the all-black bodyguard outfit, and those boots oh my goodness, those boots were the best thing I have seen in boots in a long time.

Usually, in dramas, I view similar storylines but different actors/actresses with different scenes. This a drama that a family can watch together. A lot of writers are stuck in history with rich versus lowly (poor or middle-class) people. You will love the ending.

When they tagged this as a Fantasy, they were not playing. The visuals of the fantasy were excellent. I applaud the graphic video techs. The storyline was awesome as well. All these young actors, wow! Adam Fan for being 21, did an awesome job. Now that I know he is in a Cpop Nex7, I will have to watch. Cheng Xiao, gymnast, dancer, songstress, basketball what more can this young lady do and acting is added to her list. She is awesome. Of course, the other main actors did well! I knocked a point off because of one main lead. I won't say who but know this act.... is young and as this young person keeps acting will be great. The storyline was great, it had me a little confused, but I worked through it. I would love to see another fantasy similar to this one.

Park In Hwan who played Shim Deok Chul was amazing in telling this story regarding Alzheimer's. South Korea must love the Black Swan... I praised Jimin and Jungkook in their solo dance at the MMA's and BTS for their Black Swan song. I'm a lover of the Black Swan for decades. I also praised this drama for the same dance.

Song Kang who played Lee Chae Rok was extremely amazing with all of the talents he showed in his acting skills. OMG, I love ballet and he seemed like has a niche for dancing. I am very shocked with his 6 months of training only. I loved it. He played this part very well and I am very pleased as a lyrical and street dancer. For being 27 wows, I need to see more dramas with him in it. The only thing I was embarrassed about is that a ballet costume is to cover what it needs to cover on a man but I felt bad for Song Kang because it revealed more than a real ballet costume would.

Na Moon Hee who played Choie Hae Nam the wife of Shim Deok Chul was awesome. I credit her acting in being and accepting Alzheimer's. I became very emotional with this actress.

We need more movies like this. My mother had pre-dementia starting at the age of 78 where she forgot all of her past but she didn't forget her children. She lived to be 95.

My Favorite KPop Group BTS

The United States is going through too many issues with the Protests and Covid19. I am part of the movement in Aurora, Colorado, that you hear about in the news media. I am a community leader like RM is a leader in BTS.

I wish I could adopt two of the BTS members as grandsons, as I already have 12. All boys but two girls. Jungkook and Jimin have been a blessing for me. They keep me smiling when I am sad. They keep me laughing when I can not laugh. I am a pacer (not sitting still) like Jungkook and was a dancer like Jimin. The dance was my life when younger. I can not sing a note now, I use to until my accident, but I can shout! I don’t know what I would do without seeing Jungkook and Jimin. Those two balance my life right now. There is another BTS member named J Hope, and he reminds me of my eldest son, who also breakdances, raps, and sings. I love watching J Hope on V Live when he practices. Suga, what is there not to say about him? Let me see; he is quiet, thinks hard, is very serious about his artistry. Jin, with his I am the Worlds handsome, is funny. BTS is just incredible, I love them, and I do have my two favorites!

I’m also a fan of the artist named Prince. I love the color purple, so I will say, I purple you BTS? Thank you, ARMY, for having me.

This drama had me fooled not once but twice. I won't give it away but if you want to know you need to watch it. This was kind of cute for the first 24 episodes, some humor, not a lot. I got serious after the 24th episode. A lot of martial arts, which I love the most. The storyline was confusing but only of the last episode. I didn't kind of agree with how the story ended. It was sad but happy. You be the judge! I love Li Mo Shi who played Yao Mo Wan, I loved the idea of a split personality (I will let you figure it out). The cute part of this is Yao Mo Wan. I wish it ended with Yao Mo Wan because that's who Ye Jun Jing fell in love with. You will see what I mean when you view this historic drama. I also loved that you had women warriors on the frontline of the battles. All the cast had a part in this drama which I thank and applaud. The visuals were great, the costumes were awesome.

I am being slam-dunked with these great SKorean Dramas. Another perfect 10! This was a great story on Judiciary Law corrupt as it can be to becoming righteous. There is a lot of crooked lawyers, in reality, breaking the law every single day. Greed and Power is the biggest temptation of them all. Rain, I heard this actor's name before, *singing* let it RAIN, LET IT RAIN! I thought I saw this actor in another drama but that is not the case. I want to see more of him! I love his charisma and lips! He has the eyes I love too! I did my research on Rain and his Rainism. I love his vocals and his music. What a great singer he is and have seen more of him but I will do this *kicking* my spirit for not getting here later in life.

Im Ji Yeon, and the rest of the cast made this story work. yayyyyy! I loved it! Shin Jae Ha who played Yoon Pil Woo, the bad son was very bad. YPW took this character and did what he did, for me that is great acting skills, being a bad guy is hard work. I hope to see him more in other types of characters with his cute self not a bad guy role.

Yeo Jin Goo played a double role, twin brother, but you don't know that until the end. Goo did really well in doing so in this drama series and very handsome. He has those eyes I love and would love to see more of him in other dramas.

One of the problems I had with the double role is there is a scar right underneath his nose that K Producers forgot to blur out or hide. I had to block the scar from my mind. The main problem I had was killing a child off in the first episode. A child who is an actor should be protected no matter what role he is playing in. I almost was not going to watch after I saw the death scene and almost didn't watch the rest of the episodes. Kim Sang Kyung who played the Chief Royal Secretary was awesome in his role after Episode 1. The rest of the cast did very well and I have to give credit to
Shin-Soo Yun who played Dal Rae the sister to Clown Ha Sun.

There is a twist and turn at the end, I won't reveal it! I'll just question the writer "WHY"?

I will be so angry that I just watch 18 episodes of this TV Drama Series if there is no Season 2. Please don't let this be like the Investiture of Gods which they stop before the ending. It seems that there might be a Season 2.... Netflix put a statement out there stating: As you may know the K-drama was divided into 3 parts (6 episodes ... This suggests that there is still quite a bit of story left in “Arthdal Chronicles”. ... We will do our best so that we can move ahead with a second season,” the source adds. Let's keep our fingers crossed. There is more to be told in this story... I know it... I feel it...

This drama took me back to their drama "Guardian of the Oath". Same main leads... Luo Wu and Zhao Lu Si. This time this gave a better ending. I love both dramas. This one had just enough action to get me focused. I loved the storyline and I love how Zhao Lu Si plays the role of Shaoshang. Zhao Lu Si made that character her own, it was like she lived the part. Luo Wu does the same thing, he sure looks different in the dramas he played such as Noble Aspirations... His part took a lot of beatings but his martial art acting was extremely good. I love it when ZLS and LW act together in these dramas. It was worth watching every single episode, so this will definitely be a rewatch for me. This drama deserves an Award for sure. The visuals, the martial arts, the settings, and the costumes were beautiful.

What was with that Ending!

This drama truly stirred my emotions from start to finish; I found myself with a racing heart and tears streaming down my face by the end. Liu Yuning's performance was exceptional, and I can't imagine anyone else in the role. I recently came across a video suggesting that Wallace Huo might have replaced him through an AI face switch, and I sincerely hope that's not the case. My growing discomfort with Artificial Intelligence applications has led me to believe that this technology poses a threat to our world. I fear it will foster laziness and have a detrimental impact on humanity. On a brighter note, I must commend Liu Yuning for not only his captivating deep voice but also his remarkable musical abilities. I'm unsure if he has undergone martial arts training, but if those action scenes are a result of his acting skills, they certainly appear authentic.

I loved the strong woman part, played by Liu Shi Shi (great name) I hope to view more of her work. I can imagine all the wires she had to go through to play this part, flying in the air and all the twists and turns. She is a 10-star actress for me.

The Martial Arts Scenes: I loved how they paused the camera to show their poses in the fight scenes. I wish all dramas did this.

Update: Wallace Huo did NOT replace him. It was a hoax.

It took me a while to get into this drama. The first 10 episodes were really dull and I don't blame the actors/actresses, but I do blame the storyline. The story did pick up after episode 10. Cheng Xiao (Lu Qing Qing) is the type of actress that needs to grow on me because my first impression was okay but not someone I can truly praise right now. I would have to see more acting from her since this is just my 2nd time viewing her. She really does well in dancing and singing. I did love the main lead actor Jason Gu (Nangong Yi Xin) but this was my first time seeing him play a serious role. I loved all of the martial art and the fantasy was great. The costumes of the Empress were all beautiful, never seen that design before and I applaud whoever is the designer. Thank you to all the actors/actresses who did very well.
