The point of paying politicians high salaries is to take away the incentive to accept bribes. Not that that always…
Yes, I really think the work of medical assistant is more valuable than politician who only speak words. It's not a very tasking job like nurse. All the politician needs to do is speak. It's a comparison of 500000:90000 won a day between politician and nurse. Politician got paid more than 10 times salary of nurse. It's ridiculous.
Ah, no wonder people get into politics. Annual salary of 50 million won for just 90 days working? While Moon Kang Tae must survive with 1.8 million salary a month doing 8 hours a day work as a nurse in mental hospital while doing laborous part time jobs at the side. What an unfair world.
Oh, so this have a name now, show hole? I used to say I'm in kdrama slump when I can't get into watching drama for months. It happened many times. The longest would be a year for me. The last slump would be in this January till March. The last drama I watched at that time is Chocolate. But sometimes this happen not because you're mesmerized by the last drama. There are unexplainable different reason. If it's due to drama, I had this show hole after finished watching Her Private Life (June 2019) and Manhole (September 2017), etc. I'm going to remember this term "show hole" not many people know.
I really hate war. It's painful to see so many people died just because of greed for power. This movie is no exception, Tang Dinasty invasion to Goguryeo vs the defense by Yang Man Chun creates this battle of Ansi which lasted 88 days so calling this The Great Battle due to the lasting effort is probably true. Nobody wants to be invaded so I understand the defense. Meanwhile, why Tang is not satisfied by his legitimacy and try to conquer more and more regions, sacrificing so many lives is something I can't understand, just like colonization attempt by many countries in the later years. Everything stems from human greed.
The so called great battle here made 20000 lives in Goguryeo are lost, while the Tang only lose 2000 soldiers. In that sense, calling this The Worst Battle is more appropriate. Although Ansi fortress is defended in this battle, the number of casualties are much larger for Goguryeo. This movie has some historical inaccuracy to glorify the Goguryeo win. They were initially defeated in the first two months, even the back up troops are captured. Then the third month, they claim the collapsed rampart which Tang builds, along with arriving Goguryeo reinforcements and the lack of supplies, finally forced Tang troops into a retreat.
The comment saying the emperor told Tang not to attack Goguryeo again is also incorrect. In fact, that greedy Tang emperor contracted disease, perhaps from the battle and later on died when he was preparing another invasion attempt to Goguryeo. So rather than fear from this battle, he was just defeated by death, which is Karma for him.
You did simplify all the timelines into one and I get all that. But what I don't get is that in 2017 - HYX went…
Yeah, we all have a certain time concept we like and since it's not the first time I see an infinity loop time concept, I don't get that element of surprise anymore. Their continuous loop even feels boring sometimes to me.
I watched 35 out of 50.
Nice list!

I think I'm combination of B & D
Reply 1988 shouldn't be in this list.
