A drama full of contradictions

I couldn't stand it anymore and I left the series until the last episode. I got cramps in my stomach. Such a disgraceful scenario cannot happen. It shouldn't be. The story is well thought out. One of the royal princes whose fathers passed away, who was named as the new emperor with the word of their fathers, could not get the throne he deserved, and on top of that, the same person used his royal position to get the daughter he loved, and therefore the lovers could not be together, the pains, heartbreaks, resentments, anger, betrayals, revenges, etc. Becoming a heroic soldier and general to show yourself beyond. Dreams of establishing a throne in the eyes of the nation, ultimately leading to the regency, but again conflicts, traps, betrayals, desires for revenge. Pain, not being able to meet, being in the shadow of this. It's a great idea, millions of scenes could be shot on this. But unfortunately our scriptwriter ruined the series. If a person does not have any ideas, dhikr, decisions, thoughts or logic, what is the use of saying he is writing a script? Logical errors throughout. Shaky transitions, show-offs, crazy logic. For example, I can't say that I love him. As a result, the disgrace of enduring this never ended. Someone's snitching, talking behind their back, back and forth statements, traps. Even though these are known, they do not speak out. Don't say it to your face. Don't use each other. Give the same boring things over and over again. It didn't happen. In the end, the queen mother, who was supposedly unable to reunite with her beloved, finds a thousand excuses not to reunite her son with his beloved. He says it's in the interest of the country. While she was getting married, the emperor said, "You can't say no to her, it won't end well, you'll both be beheaded, even seven of your dynasties will be killed." Now they want the girl the Emperor loves for someone else, or rather for his brother, the prince, for whom everything they eat and drink does not go well. But they cannot tell each other. They love the same girl. My brother Emperor, he was brought to the palace for me. He can't say how you can hit on that girl. On top of that, the emperor's very good friend, the prince, wants the girl through his mother. She's making herself a fiancée. The Emperor cannot do anything. He's watching. Because his mother made a promise to another imperial princess. He promised again for that brother to marry, too. He gives his word knowingly. The prince's mother says they love each other, but if they don't, why should I tell you this? However, that girl is unaware of these events. The girl is never asked. The Emperor is tearing himself apart. He says, "I will marry this girl." His mother says No. Well, you encountered the same situation, you could not reunite with your loved one. When I asked if this could be done, yes, I was very upset. I experienced pain. He says imperial interests come first. It makes you want to tear your hair out. Also, why can't the emperor tell his dear friend, brother, I love this girl, we even love each other? You saw it here, if it was your acquaintance, wouldn't it be possible if he said "no, but no, we love each other". Why does such a scenario occur? And the man is the emperor. How can one say that the girl he wants won't happen? It is also served to a prince. It's not something that makes sense. It is not appropriate for the time. It is not appropriate for the command and domination of an emperor. What the emperor says requires absolute obedience. If you don't obey, you die. In this situation, that prince brother infuriates the emperor by telling events about the girl as if he were kidding. It's not going to happen. What a pity. In other words, the writer, the screenwriter, or rather, has a contradiction within himself. There are hundreds of other incidents in the same way, where people are wrong, have contradictory ideas, and do not keep what they say. There are at least a hundred in 50 episodes. It's a shame for the series, the idea is good but the scripting is terrible. I got angry while watching it. It's a shame for the players. I had ideas about them. I don't even have the words to say them. The director did his part, I guess they told him to shoot it like this, so he shot it that way. It was very good. A series of nine became series of six. I say disgrace. I don't recommend it to anyone. I was disturbed while watching, I don't want anyone to be disturbed. Do not even think about it!
