Xue Er's fantasies

Like typical Chinese dramas, it was one of those dramas that started well and then ended badly. I would like to call out to CHINESE screenwriters from here. Please finish as you started. Pay attention to the consistency of the plots. Do not call black in the next scene what you thought was white in the first place. Have consistency.
In this series, especially after the scenes where Xue Er was exaggerated, the series fell apart. So it's over. If you ask why, he is the head of everything. In other words, this girl is responsible for killing her father, burning her sister, starting a fire and many other things. At first, the series focused on the mother, and even the mother and her beloved daughter, Shuang. Suddenly, Xue Er also pushed her mother and sister aside, sending one to prison and placing the other under house arrest. But then, after her sister, who was Luo Lian, returned as Dan Qing, she suddenly lost the advantage she had gained. After that, the series completely fell apart. Instead of going to prison, this girl of ours turned into a slave girl who lost everything and was left in the middle. But she, she, she turned, she wants to come back, but our scriptwriter can't make it happen. In this way, he pulls Dan Qing's best friend to his side and makes him attack him. Suddenly, his former employee appears from somewhere. He saves her. He works under him. But he's already poor, supposedly. A fallen one. But he lives well. When he can't get anything from Dan Qing's friend, he goes to the Prince this time. She seduces him. He makes Dan Qing attack him. Someone like this, who has lost everything and has fallen into slavery, can achieve these things. On top of that, he puts Dan Qing, his brother, and the General in prison.
The country's number one general, the person responsible for the security of that province, does not ask where the body is in this case of Xue Er's death. Let an autopsy be done. Was he strangled or did they strangle him and throw him away? It doesn't say to check it out.
This General, who is at the top of everything in the slightest incident, is playing the game. He closes the incident with what is being said left and right, such as "Did you hear him drowned?" Later, he is shocked when he sees it in front of him. They made a plan. He is making such a plan himself. Dying, resurrecting etc. So no matter how I look at it, it's up to me. It's such a bad plot, the story is blown out of control. Come on, you will say, it's fantastic. Did you put it on these? They changed the girl's face, you believed her, but you don't believe them? Yes, I didn't believe that either. I said fantastic. They cannot perform face transplants in the 21st century. What has been done is similar to Frankenstein. But those of us today should learn how well they performed face transplants in ancient times. So it didn't happen. I do not like. It's a shame for the series. The actors were good. I only liked the actors. The directors and producers were especially unfair to Liu Xie Ning. If they are reading; This girl gave a better look than our leading girl. I wished he had continued. Please take care of this girl. I don't want to badmouth Xu Lu, but the sourness of her face makes me nervous. I'm not talking about a good actor. However, I must say that I liked the other actor very much.
I think it looks like there will be a second season. There were so many interesting things that I think that the seriously injured Xue Er, who threw herself off the cliff, will return in the second season as if nothing had happened, and the Prince will return in the same way. What happened to Xue Er's mother in prison? He will come back too. It seems like history will repeat itself. I think such things happen to a series like this. If there is a second season, I won't watch it. From here I send news to the scriptwriter and producer. If you're going to do this, don't do it. It didn't happen.
I wouldn't recommend the series to anyone in its current state.

Boring repetitions, never-dying Lu Ge

When I started watching the series, I said I was watching a very good series and I continued to watch it with pleasure. However, gradually there were declines in the plot and great conflicts in roles. A lot of nonsense ensued. Especially the chaos of the last chapters confused us a lot. It was a series that started well but showed a great decline in its beauty towards the end. The story was cute. I've watched a few similar TV series. There was even a series exactly like it, but I can't remember its name now.
The staff, in particular, was solid. A very good leading team has been formed. Much better things could have been done with these players. But unfortunately, they ruined these players at the end of the story. I was especially blown away by Xu Lu, who played with a sour face throughout. This actor is like this in all his series. I don't know what to say, whether to say the same sad face or a sour face. I'm amazed at how she smiles and looks beautiful with this face of hers. I have no words for his acting, but with that face I wish he hadn't acted. I loved the other actors. I passed on the leading roles, the supporting roles were also good. It was a good team. I congratulate the cast and director. However, a deficiency in the story, perhaps a deficiency in the scripting, a deficiency in the tying at the end, or the confusion undermined the watchability of the series, its rating, and the question of whether I would watch it again or recommend it.

A strange Overlord

It was a beautiful series that I can say was extraordinary. It was a series with a very good story and, according to him, very well constructed, acted and directed. I especially congratulate the Japanese players. I congratulate the director separately. Likewise the fiction.
First of all, the story was very good. The atmosphere and life of that time, especially the missionary movements, and the harmony or perspective of foreigners and local people are reflected beautifully. In addition, sections from Japan's administrative order and social life at that time are also given. It satisfied me in terms of credibility and reality. They have given everything in its place. Missionary movements and sectarian concepts, and therefore the fights and hostilities that arose, disturbed me a little. It connoted something like Christian propaganda. I felt uncomfortable. That's why I made a note. Otherwise, it was a perfect series, ten out of ten for me. This introduction of Christianity and its sectarian concepts was not pleasant. I think they wanted to give missionary movements as well. They wanted to show its positive effects on the people there. They even specifically included the initiative of a noblewoman to serve the church as a nun. I didn't like these. But I said it might also reflect the events of the time. A time when feudalism dominated.
The actors, the Japanese actors, were very successful. The little man became a giant with Hiroyuki Sanada's play, the Shogun image was very good. It looks good. He played very well. I liked Anna Sawai very much. I think his role was superior to all of them and he nailed it. I really liked Asamo Tadanobu. He became a person with a personality and charisma. These players were very remarkable. Of course Cosmo Jarvis. He showed a good appearance in this series, but his acting is questionable. I watched him for the first time. I did not like. But it remained normal within this story and game.
I recommend everyone to watch it.

The worst series I've ever watched

I haven't watched such an ugly TV series lately. Maybe I've never watched it. I watched 15 episodes. All 15 of them are bad, worse than each other, meaningless, meaningless, impersonal, unfair, unfounded, insensitive, erroneous, wrong and inconsistent. So whatever you are looking for is in this series. There seems to be a story. From what I understand, the Prime Minister is saying that the prince whose daughter he was going to marry is dead, or he wants to have it killed himself. I didn't understand that. Then they say he died. Instead of his real daughter, he marries his daughter from his concubine to the dead prince. He wants his daughter to be buried with him, etc. The girl is running away. Then he meets the prince who is said to be dead. He is dressing his wound. It kind of saves. Then they realize that they are husband and wife, but the prince knows that the prime minister is against him, so he does not want the prime minister's daughter either. They also threaten the girl with her nanny. They say, "We'll kill your nanny and steal the prince's jade." Such events are developing. But it doesn't improve at all. First, the Prince says "I did not die in front of the king" and rips off the Prime Minister's hairpin, revealing his hair. This is kind of like a death sentence. He apologizes to the king, but the king doesn't even say what's going on, brother. The prince who did this walks away. Shouldn't the reason for this be asked? The prince supposedly has a crush on this prime minister and is looking for weaknesses in him. Drive the deficit. This time he wasn't letting the girl into his mansion. He felt sorry for his situation. He took it in. Even though the servants knew that she was a princess, they beat the princess at the instigation of the head maid. As if that wasn't enough. They locked it or something. They threatened. They committed all kinds of disgrace. The mansion has a butler. He has a lot of employees. Nobody knows or hears about it. The girl doesn't say either. It's as if he's accepting that his nanny will die. However, there are various aspects to this job. As a matter of fact, during the second fight, a servant gives the news, and she gives it so hard that you get swollen while watching it. Something like that. It's a complete disgrace. It takes courage to watch. This time our prince comes and beats the servants and drives them away, asking how you can beat the princess. However, except for the maid from the Shen mansion and the head maid. He gets the maid caned and sent to the Shen mansion. He says I will ask you about the head maid, take this away or something. Supposedly he will call to account. One episode later, you see this head maid wandering around. He defies the princess again. He is harassing. He's running out of words. This time they are interrogating him. He confesses everything. No one knows what happens to him after that. So why wasn't it done from the beginning? Then the stepmother who had these done appears. The Prime Minister supposedly does not interfere. But when he sees the result, he says oh good, kill him or something. They kill the girl's nanny. They are conspiring to kill the girl. They kidnap the girl. A festival for homes. The girl is already running away from the mansion on her own. We don't know why. Just like that. Something happens to him every time he escapes. No reason. Meaningless. Then they steal the jade from the hand of a traitor girl among the prince's soldiers. They give this to the prime minister's wife. It's unclear what they will do with it after stealing it. Supposedly they were going to use it against the prince. It's important for the prince, but I don't understand what it's important for them. They will probably save themselves with that jade. Will it ever be asked how you can save yourself with the jade you stole? As a matter of fact, their thefts never stopped. The prince went and raided the prime minister's house with the princess girl. He found the jade. He caned the Prime Minister's wife. They scolded the Prime Minister and returned home. If you could do this, why haven't you done it yet? Now they got the stick, but they continue to screw up. Nothing happens. Prince or king brother, this prime minister stole my jade. They kidnapped my wife. They beat me. They did it like this, there was no telling or punishing anything. Paso evil continues. They continue to watch. But there is no connection, no proper justification, reason, justification or logic in the events. The editing sucks. I mean, I don't know if it's because of the scriptwriter or if the director didn't convey it. It's a flawed series from start to finish. As I said, the prime minister, who did nothing, this time cooperates with the rebels of the opposing state and aims to kill the prince. So it helps. It supports. Likewise, his wife finds an acquaintance from the palace and makes a plan to inform the king that her stepdaughter, whom she married, is supposedly selling candy on the streets. The king and the queen mother are the subjects of this plan together. It's so simple. So what if he sold candy? A king asks what these candies are. Where did you buy it. Sir, our cook made it and we eat it. It was someone who made it, and that someone learned it from the current princess, who used to make and sell these candies on the streets. What's wrong with that. Who's this? Prince Jin's wife. Find him immediately, bring him in and arrest him, completely shut down the house of the prime minister who lied to us, and do what is necessary, says the king. For no reason. I couldn't make any sense of it. So this girl is being arrested for selling candy on the street? When the prince hears this, he wants to save the princess, they say stop, don't do it, it will backfire. Justice will be served, just wait. The princess is arrested, but nothing is done to the prime minister's mansion. From where? Again, for no reason. Because the series is wrong. Wrong.

Women

First of all, I have to say that it was one of the best series I have watched recently. I watched it with curiosity every day. I like it a lot. While I said I liked it, I also criticized it a lot. Especially what was done in the last two episodes gave me the impression that the Chinese scriptwriters had difficulty in connecting the endings.
At first, I came to the conclusion that the author made mistakes while examining some things. But I found it very nice and appropriate that he eliminated them later, corrected them and showed us the results. I took back this criticism. However, I found the fire scene in the last episodes wrong. I found it wrong. I found the king's nonsense wrong. He played with the character a lot. So I couldn't understand what the king was. I don't know whose fault it is. I don't know if the director couldn't fit the character well or if he didn't pay attention to it while writing. A person is either good-natured. Or it is bad-natured. Either he is a despot. Or it shows a more moderate management. This king kills all the time. Afterwards, he showers praise. Not their own children. He loves someone else's child. He employs someone in the palace with a high-ranking title who has done many wrong things, killed and defrauded people, and does not hide it. I found it very ridiculous. He defends himself by saying that if he can make it rain, I will kill him. Of course it will rain one day, in fact it is raining. He gives him a reward. He finds this person wrong, insults the woman who spent all her money on a state dam, and assigns her as a servant to the person who did the dirty work. Ultimately, it turns out that this woman is a rebel who cooperates with the prince to take revenge, but she also kills the king. No matter how you look at it, it's inconsistent. Likewise, I do not want to enter the palace. The child born to the servant who says "I will live my own life" eventually becomes the king. However, the person who provides the most useful services to the kingdom barely escapes from prison. I don't understand where the idea of making someone who doesn't want it and someone who escaped from the palace, a child, a king came from. The fact that neither the beneficial nor the deserving were done was in contrast to the good things this author showed us. So, what he said didn't come true.
I thought it was a women's series. They showed what the family and the victimized women in the family can do when they come together and form a unity. I think it is well thought out. Were there any exaggerations? Could most of these be done under the conditions of that day? No, it couldn't be done. But the author also showed that this can be done. He established a cause and effect relationship. I love family warmth, unity, integrity, brotherhood, even servant behavior, their protection, being seen as one of the family, praising and rewarding success, evaluation of work, evaluation of the product, learnability of trade, that everyone can achieve something by working and persevering, and that only a male-dominated system is dominant. I saw proof that women could do something on their own, even in that period. I understand Love and affection are put in between. I felt good things. There was also hatred. There were also injustices. We saw that those who did these things were also punished. This was reflected beautifully.
If we look at the players; Neither of the two lead actors performed an outstanding performance. Hu Yi Tian especially couldn't play at all. A dull player. He opens his eyes too much. It's like he had a face lift, there are no facial expressions. A straight player. She is tall and has a beautiful face. So. Zhang Jing Yi was better than him. Even though he wasn't very good, he did his part. I liked Lu Yu Xiao. He beautifully portrayed a character who is subject to psychological factors, albeit slightly. It was very good in my opinion. He was also compatible with young actor Bian Cheng. This young man will also be a good player in the future. I think they will be the leading roles. They played well. Myolie Wu made herself felt especially among women. Good player. Well done.Grandmother and Queen Mother were fine. The servant roles were fine. So the supporting roles were played much better. The series was a very high quality series in that respect. I recommend everyone to watch it.

Friendship, brotherhood

I liked the series. I watched it with interest. Were there any parts I didn't like? Yes. Were there any mistakes? Yes. But I don't want to talk about these. Because I watched the series with interest until the end and generally liked it. First of all, friendship and brotherhood are discussed. It was very emotional in some parts. It made me sad that the heroes died. I was especially saddened by the death of Yueri's character. His words before he died seemed to indicate that he would die. Like let's always be together, never be apart, let's grow old together. Even the fact that the man she loved was excluded as a lover because he loved someone else did not affect her. He continued his friendship and brotherhood. This really impressed me. I am sad. The deaths of Tang Yu., the character who had to be bad but tried to be good because he loved him, the Female General, the immortal master winemaker, and the fairy butterfly, had an impact. Finally, Ling Er went to her death. The series ended before I could feel it. Looks like there's more to come. What I mean is that there were very emotional, sad scenes and an ending. But I felt the love, warmth and friendship in the series. I especially liked He Yu.'s performance. This kid has acted in good TV series lately and proven himself. I think he will be a sought-after star. I liked your game. It is also successful in activation. It suits me too. Yang Yu Tong, on the other hand, seems a little more subdued. I last saw him in a small role in the TV series Faithful. I liked it very much. Maybe that's why he was offered the lead role in this series, or maybe it was because of his bravery. Because there may have been some people who didn't want to shoot the snake scenes. In my opinion, the role may not have suited him. I do not know. I guess it wasn't the first name thought of. He also portrayed a good character as A Nu in Hu Yi Xuan from the TV series Faithful. I like. He was also very successful in Faithful. He was successful here too. Likewise, I also really liked Xu Hao, who played the character Yueru. Was very good. Overall the cast was good. But I would like to say that I did not find some of the actors, especially Yu Tong, good in this drama. For example, I couldn't understand what Zeng Li was doing. Why did you waste such an actor here, he was so funny in the role you gave him. I didn't like the role given. It didn't happen. I didn't like the actor playing the king. It didn't happen. There were deficiencies in CAST. You must fit the selected actor well into the role you have chosen. Suitable for his role. He should give his due. It's a shame to cast a good actor in an unfair role. Because the role isn't worth a damn. I have seen such shortcomings. But overall it was nice. Well done to those who worked hard. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it. Watch.

Rapport

First of all, I must say that I enjoyed watching it very much. It was one of the rare good TV series I've watched recently. It was amazing. No. But the harmony between the actors was the first thing that attracted me. Zhao Li Ying and Ling Geng Xin were a very harmonious couple. We already knew this from the TV series Princess Agents. Their harmony was very good in this series too. Zhao Li Ying was also the producer of the series, so it seems that she added a lot to the series, so she even broke the rules. She got married and had a child. Left. I also think that if she had not left, she would not have played so easily.
There have been mistakes, they have neglected some things by calling it a fantastic series, but it is not worth writing about it here and affecting the beauty of the series. Overall it was a pretty good series. There are fantasy, drama, romantic and also action scenes. I even found it emotional in the last episodes. I had tears in my eyes while watching it. They tried to fit a lot into the last episodes and ended it as if there was going to be a second season.
Not just the lead actors. I also really liked the supporting roles. So CAST was perfect. The actors were very good. Especially Xin Yun Lai, He Yu, Zeng Li, Wang Yi Yao, Xuan Lu, Xu Hai Qiao were the actors that caught my attention, both with their images and acting. I also liked the little actors who portrayed the childhood of the leads. So the group of players was very good. This distinction does not mean that I do not like other players as well. However, I kept them separate, and I liked the image work done on them. Management was fine. The shots and scenes are beautifully arranged, so are the action scenes and editing. I think meticulous work has been done and care has been taken. I don't want to touch on the story because it's fantastic. Because I don't believe in polytheism. It's something I'm against. Actually, I am against telling these things like this, even if they are fantastic, but we are watching it as a spectacle. As per my belief, I believe in the existence and unity of the Almighty Creator. There is no God other than Him.

The lightness of Face Swap

First of all, our series started well. I loved the story. It was beautifully constructed. What I liked most was that there was a mystery. It was intriguing to pursue this. In this respect, I liken it to a detective series. I felt the tension and mystery. The activation scenes were also nice. Everything was suitable. So it was progressing well with a measured distribution. The thing that bothered me the most in these episodes was the face changing incident. It's too fantastic. Let's get over it. It seemed a little strange to me that after changing the face, the person continues the same relationship with another face that replaces the person he wants to marry and is in love with. Maybe this can be said. I loved his soul, not his face. If we look at this, things such as inner beauty, character, approach to events and people, and temperament are the factors that affect the other party. Even though this still convinces us, isn't it possible that the more we look at his face, the more he reminds us of the other person? Can a person love like this? I thought about this often while watching and it didn't seem believable to me. Even though people stand out with their actions, it seemed repulsive to me to see someone else with whom you have the same antipathy, standing in front of you with their face. I deducted a point from the story in this aspect. I should have broken it more, but whatever. Likewise, while everything was going well in terms of plot, towards the end, nonsense started to occur in the processing and flow. It's as if they decided not to make the series this good, let's make it a little worse, let's make it cheaper. For example; Although the character Jiang could have killed the character Jia Quan with a knife in his hand when there was no one around, he does not, but he is in prison, easily captured, and tries to kill him and is killed. It was so ridiculous and simple. Similarly, why does Jia character's assistant, Zuo character, run away and get killed when he could have killed this person hundreds of times? Illogical. He knows everything about the man, and if he tries to do anything bad to him, he will kill the man from thirst. He escapes and is killed when he could have been eliminated so easily. It has zero credibility. If the princess is going to kill herself, why does she bring the character Sima there as a witness? So that he could testify and destroy them? It was an irrational approach. The scriptwriter is literally unconscious, so did he have a hard time writing these, did he make mistakes, did he do things that are thousands of miles away from believability. Doesn't a person read what he writes, and doesn't the person who filmed it say that if you fix this, it doesn't look appropriate at all? They didn't say. Why was there a showdown in the presence of the queen? It's not understandable. According to the story, if the character Jiang was not returning, Pan Yue should have gone looking for him. She had to save him, or if he couldn't, he could have tried to kill the Marshal. Or he could report him to the authorities. Supposedly you need a notebook. They didn't take the notebook while they had it, so while that person was identified at the academy, the man runs away. How does he escape? If you had made a raid as soon as you found out about the incident, you could have obtained everything, including the notebook. The person takes that notebook and brings it to the capital. Pan Yue, who has authority and men in his hands, does nothing. I don't know what his father is. Some help, some don't. It is impossible to understand how difficult it was to prove it. While everything was against the man, there was no proof every time. What a queen. Is there no king? Isn't there a Minister of Justice? The marshal will be given army authority and many royal decorations will be given, there is no king, there is a queen. It hasn't happened before. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, Jiang's body is brought to the place, and through the holes he opened, Cai Wei and Pan Yue with his excellent talent say, "Here is the place of the notebook." Unbelievable. It's a shame for the beautiful series. Screenwriter, I especially hated you. In all TV series, your incompetence in concluding events frustrates and frustrates the audience. Their beginnings were good, but their endings were terrible. He was wrong. It was simple. It hadn't happened. I felt sad while watching it.

the crybaby official

The series started well. It tells the story of the events that happen to the two daughters of a Minister whose name is involved in corruption, in order to prove their father's innocence. It started as such a story. Afterwards, the story turned mysterious and turned into a conspiracy high up in the palace. A number of events took place to reach the conspirators. While this was happening, the Minister's two daughters also established relationships with the leaders of the palace's investigation teams. These relationships turned into love. Now they started to act together. It was a very nice flowing story. It was also decorated with various events. Its mysteriousness lasted until the last two episodes. Also, the action scenes were good. In my opinion, these were well-done and meticulous scenes. We felt the drama as well as a little bit of the love. However, in my opinion, too many coincidences and simplicities in the flow of events overshadowed the beauty of the story. It took some events away from authenticity. The dreams, fires, I know, I don't know scenes piled up in the last chapters were not compatible with the story at all. He diluted it. In my opinion, it spoiled the beautiful series. I was thinking of giving it 9 out of 10, but unfortunately I lowered my rating to 8 due to these negativities. For example, the people they established relationships with and saved from negative events in a border town. After them, they suddenly came to the Capital and took part in the games there. What was the reason? Was this necessary? It is debatable. While watching, I felt as if they were going to help the bad people who were caught. I said what does it matter? One turned out to be a doctor. It was like a concubine. She was a girl who was sold on this. The doctor came out. Others came to help as a team. All the way from there. They joined the game. So credibility is lost. Simplicity has been avoided.
Judging by the players, they were good. With his experience, Jeremy Tsui is already a sought-after name in such TV series. It was fine. I watched Ouyang Nana for the first time. She is a Taiwanese actress. Let me say it wasn't bad. It had to be better. His face looks very swollen. He needs to take good care of himself. He is an actor who is very prone to obesity. I say he should improve himself. Xia Nan, on the other hand, is a name I know for her evil female roles. She is an actress who portrays the villain, that is, the person opposite the leading character, in the best way and whose face is more suitable for evil. By the way, his face is completely white. Her skin is beautiful. But he is not an actor of good roles. Although here she plays a despotic sister. It suits the role. The smiling and snippy style of play is not his style of play. It suits being serious. I like. I also liked Sun Jian. Our supporting roles were also very good. Experienced players were very good. I also liked our director and the production.

Brotherhood

The first season ended in a way reminiscent of the second season. So it seems like there must be a sequel. I think the series is an old production and has been put on hold until 2024. While describing the inter-clan wars, the internal events of the Zichuan clan they are in are described. The Clan Chief Lord and his niece, the princess, rule the clan, but a rebellion occurs within the clan, but it is not successful. The Chief, whom we thought to be very passive, old, inefficient and weak, turns out to be cunning and competent. He saves his clan. However, while saving him, he also commits ruthless massacres, especially those committed by generals like Di Lin. In any case, the rebellious Minister of War was also ruthless. Di Lin was also his cultivation. His death occurred because he was not with her. Yang Xu Wen, who appears as the primary protagonist here, stands out with his cunning and skillful strategy that does not show itself outwardly. But in the distribution of roles, it is as if three brothers shared three roles. The leading roles were shared. There doesn't seem to be anyone who appears primary. I saw Li Yu Ning in another leading role. Yang Xu is given a bit of awkwardness, making him seem unqualified as a fun personality. I think he does his role well, but it seems fake to me. It didn't happen. The female lead who accompanied him, Li Mo Zhi., also seemed passive to me. It's like they were forced to be a couple. It's like they were forced to accept acting in this series. Our third lead, Zhang Ming En, did his part, but he didn't have the consistency I wanted either. So they did their part. They have no excess. I think the best one is Liu Yu Ning. Let me say that he neither exaggerated nor underplayed his game, and in my opinion, this passivity was the best. He didn't have any excess either. I think the supporting roles were more successful. Supporting actors such as Ma Shao Hua, Zhang Fan, Benjamin Zhang, Xiu Qing were more successful. They added value to their roles. I like. I liked the action and battle scenes. I loved the excitement. I liked the production and direction. I'm waiting for the second season too.

So much praise, so little reality

It was a good series. Management was very good. In terms of production, it was very good. Apart from the praise for Korea and if you don't worry about whether the historical facts are true or false, I can say that it is a series that is beyond extraordinary. I am one of those who do not think that it corresponds exactly with historical events. It already warns you when the series starts. Because it is not the same as historical facts. This broke my heart. The second is clothes. I don't think Korea wore those warrior clothes at that time. It is likened to Roman or Greek warriors. Where are the clothes, armor, vehicles, this and that? A poor country, a tribute-paying country. It is a dependent country. A country where most of its people were sent as slaves to other countries. It's a bit ridiculous to show these things in this reality, but I thought like this. It was a study on how to glorify Goryeo if we refer to that period by producing a 20th century perspective and strategy, and it was very successful. Whether it's war tactics, clothes, or perspective on events, they don't reflect that era. It reflects the view from here, today. I see it as a study of what it would be like if we did it that way then.
In this series, an illegitimate child is expelled from royalty, confined to a monastery, and becomes king after being pushed by someone after the sudden death of his brother, and the events that occur as a result. On the one hand, he may be a judge in a village, or he may be an administrator equivalent to a village or town administrator or a district governor. It is about his rise to the Commander-in-Chief of Goryeon with the new emperor as a result of the events that took place while he was the person responsible for everything in the village and town. In short, it is about what such a duo did for Goryeo and their victory in the last war with the Khitan.
However, considering the angle of presentation, there is too much praise for Goryeo. It shows that this is a bit imaginary. Even though it is imaginary, it is a well-constructed production and beautifully reflected to the audience. I like it a lot.
Won in the last war. The Khitans were portrayed so badly. Out of 100 thousand people, there seem to be only three or five lame people left. In other words, it is one of his efforts to belittle the enemy out of spite. Of course, they suffered so much. By reflecting this in this way, the scriptwriter and director touched the hearts of Koreans and took another kind of revenge. On top of that, they recognized Goryeo, recognized the king, and signed a non-aggression agreement. Their benefits were also cut. Thereupon, neighboring principalities, tribes, and especially the Jurchens, everyone rushed to celebrate Goryeo. They became friends and started giving benefits. So Goryeo moved from giving to receiving benefits. Beautiful snaps.
After winning the war, two olive branches are now golden. I don't know if they are made of tin, it was very funny that the king put these on Gam Chan. It's obvious he's a Roman wannabe. In fact, my clothing was like a quote from ROMAN movies.
The actors were fine. We need to start with Choi Soo Jong. He was the gripping character and best actor of the series. His experience is enough. I've also watched Kim Dong Jun. in a few dramas before. It was more noticeable here. He played very well. I like it a lot. Well done. He also acted as a bald head. It's not for everyone. Ji Seun Hyun left the drama early. His image was the best player. It was very successful. Likewise, Lee Won Jon only had a few episodes but that was enough. A good actor reveals himself everywhere, even in two minutes. Kim Tae Han also destroyed the drama with his image. Khita's Commander-in-Chief portrayed an extremely good image and played very well. It suits her. I like it a lot. Our Aunt Yoo Bok In. So Gam. Chan's wife. It was remarkable. It's one of those that looks good, even if it looks small. The husband and wife bickering was one of my favorite episodes. Congratulations to all the players. I was able to write down the most prominent ones. I'm sorry.
In other words, our series was an extraordinary good series, with its pros and cons. Congratulations to the director. I congratulate the screenwriter twice for making his dreams seem real. Do not get it wrong. I don't know the exact truth of the events. Because I'm not a historian. As far as we follow, I am commenting on the small research we have done on our own, based on our own knowledge. I'm giving my guesses. In my opinion, the events are far from being authentic, but it is a well-reflected production to the audience, except for the praise. I recommend everyone to watch it.

Kim Hye Jin's rise from loser to writer

Even though it has many faults, even if it has its mistakes and excesses, it is a watchable series. It was nice, it was fun. What I don't like is the lame events. Everyone together crushes one person. What is this Korea's national longing? They are not afraid to show it off. They are very proud of other things. I don't like this at all. There are 10 employees. Everyone gives a job to someone. The one who is oppressed, God willing, acts beyond naivety. After this ability, a WRITER springs forth. He is also a UNIVERSITY GRADUATE. So it's not much? Is the person who wrote this so naive, or are those who watch it so naive? These are big mistakes. Or their lifestyle. An adopted move. It's KEEPING it there like a bastard.
For example: The girl from Support Services, she also just got a job. They say do this. I AM FINALING MY NAILS RIGHT NOW. Let the loser do it. He immediately says sir and jumps. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CLOSED TO HIM. SHE CONTINUES TO DECORATE.
What's this? Fun or Funny? Scraping? Why is our friend so naive? So it's in the middle. Sometimes he says, "Oh, I'm busy, you gave me 10 jobs, at least don't give me the 11th one." He's a university graduate. There is also age. We shouldn't expect such things. SO THESE HAPPENED A LOT IN THIS SERIES.
Hwang Jung Eum portrayed this naive, loser but friendly personality, attached to his past and his family and friends, well. It was the engine of the series. So it was his dynamo. Excellent acting from start to finish. Park Se Joon pales in comparison. He tried to accompany. It was fine. But I think it's overshadowed. Si Won perfectly portrayed the mischievous child, that is, the crazy character that is the exact opposite of our naive character, that is, the naive and clever one. His character is a friend who cheats on a friend, but still proves his loyalty to his friend, and his character is slightly flirtatious, and he shows this in our eyes with the way he dresses, and it suits him. Goo Jon Hee was also pretty good. I like. It was different. Shin Dong Mi. I liked it very much. Experienced actress Hwang Seok Jung performed an act with an extravagance far beyond her own, congratulations. Jung Da Bin. was also successful as a child actor. As he grew up, he played good roles. But he couldn't get over himself. In my opinion, it couldn't make the expected explosion. The actors were good. In my opinion, extremes, over-understanding, and seeing this as normal were the mistakes of the series. It was wrong. Maybe it might work in Korea, I don't know, but I didn't like these. The rest is couple harmony and acting. Shooting and management were good apart from these. It was a good romantic comedy. It could have been much better. Despite all my negative comments, I enjoyed watching it.

Lack of reason overshadows credibility.

It's a good series to watch overall. I congratulate the production team and director, except for the scriptwriter. Particular attention was paid to the clothes, I congratulate this team twice. Other than that, the script had too much nonsense. First of all, it was not believable that our Badukçu Girl went to take revenge on the king with the same face and the same clothes. Even though the king said he would kill you, he did not. Afterwards, I had to punish you, and after a certain period of time, he sent his guards and asked them to save him. However, for some reason, this happened right at the time he was going to be killed. Badukçu fell off the cliff. The baduk maker's own servants find him and save him. This is also very interesting, you are there at this exact moment and are rescued. Then this girl of ours comes for revenge, wearing the same clothes and the same face, and appears before the king. He's making plans to kill her. Do you think it's believable? I think no. Nobody understood why this screenwriter did this. In addition, those who betrayed were rewarded instead of being killed. It was ridiculous. Our lead girl could neither be a man nor a woman. Caught between two games. His acting was next to nothing. So it wasn't there. It was just an empty image. However, Jo Jung Suk performed phenomenally. He may have been crushed under it. I don't know, but I didn't like the actress. Apart from the male lead, Choi Dae Hoon who plays the King, Park Ye Young who plays Lady Gong, Queen Mother Jang Young Nam, Hyun Bo. Yang Kyung Won, Lee Kyu Hoe who played the Prime Minister, Guard Kang Hong Suk, and Child Prince Choi Ye Chan were good actors that caught my eye. Apart from the script, it was a successful production. The scriptwriter has done a shame on the series. I couldn't feel the love in the series, I couldn't get the emotion. It's actually a love story, but it doesn't seem to have happened. Looks like it had a happy ending...

A strange story

Sajo Hyun (Park Jihoon) suffers from his father's tyranny and due to this upbringing, he develops another personality, who goes by the name Ak Hee. Yeon Wol (Hong Ye Ji) comes from a supportive family and she’s trained to be a fighter since young. Sajo and Yeon Wol shortly-met when Sajo's father did something evil to Yeon Wol's family, which led Yeon Wol to run for her life. 10 years later, Yeon Wol returns and ready to take a revenge.
The first episodes were good. Until they grew up and these double personalities they developed even started to fight with each other, and the series lost credibility. The players became strange. I don't know who it is, the inexperience of the actress or the inexperience of the director. Wrong things. the male lead who cannot adapt to them. and a king who always laughs with his mouth open pretends to forget that it was the same from the beginning. It was very terrible. It didn't suit such an experienced player at all. Is this how an actor shows his every attitude? It is different. Or it could be the director's faulty instructions. Look, this may be due to the director's inability to reflect the series. It's a shame for the series. I did not like at all. It's like a conflict between two people, with no one knowing what they're doing, but it's the same person, the jokes are weird. So you are surprised while watching it. You say, what's going on? It's been a weird series. More precisely, it didn't happen. I do not like. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Fan Xian, what the hell are you?

It was a series that was completely gripping, intriguing, active, exciting, and had high emotional intensity and stress. There was love and there was love. Separations too. Friendship, camaraderie, ambition, grudge, hatred, fight, war, intrigue, espionage activities, groupings, desires for advancement, fights for the throne, they were all there. There was also a humorous narration. Zhang Ruo Yun is an actor who is very prone to comedy. He is an actor who can perform casualness, humorous approaches and lively expressions very well. This role suits him very well. That's why Tian Yu and Guo Qi Lin, with whom he was in a relationship, accompanied his joke beautifully. We can even add Liu Duan Duan. There were plenty of humorous jokes in the series. Even though he tried to frame her in the end and we learned that he was actually the one behind trying to kill her, the relationship level was humorous. Same with Xin Zi Lei. We can also count Cui Zi Gang and Jia Jing Hui. These always seemed to me to be related in a fun, humorous way. That's why I never got bored while watching it. In fact, it ended very badly. It was an intriguing ending to the next season. I'm looking forward to the second season. I expected Yan Bing Yun to do something like this. Because the more open Fan Xian was to him, the more closed he remained. He didn't even openly claim the woman he was in a relationship with, he was dying for her. He didn't mind. Even though he knew the Spy Names, he did not give them. He constantly evaded every question. Just as he did not trust himself, he did not trust the other person either. I was guessing that he was not on the road, but when they arrived at the relevant office, he would do a trick, make speeches against Fan Xian, give information, and say things against him. But he dealt the fatal blow. He found an excuse for himself by saying he was doing this for Qing. It's as if others are doing it for another state. This means that this person was also one of the 2nd Prince's men. He was working for that group. Let's see what will happen in the second season. I am waiting. I liked the first season very much. I would recommend it to everyone.
