Yeah but I noticed Gu Yu (whom I like) has very thick plot armour. I mean he is arguably quite slack with his army. Not in a bad way bc obviously they would die for him and many of them did. Nonetheless he wasn't the strictest task master. And they got ambushed into a sensitive event where they should have been on high alert. When Huai'an went in to save him he demanded instant justice and got it bc he was needed in the capital. And poor Han Zhiling died. Very sad.

Now that is an interesting thought.

You must be hungry. But don't eat its too late in the day.

Arabians are nice, very spirited. I don't keep a horse in HK its crazy expensive I just rent what they have at the riding club. And I go to the races quite a bit, I used to part own some thoroughbreds for racing with friends but we sold out when our friend who was managing it moved back to Australia.

The leaders of armies are as just as often strategists as they are fighters. Zhuge Liang is a case in point. I don't have a hard time believing Liu Zhi/Huai'an can't fight.

Its fine, suspend disbelief. Its just a comment that does not rise to a criticism of the drama.🤡

Bareback is super dangerous as you should know and that is not what we saw.

As I said in today age its possible but not easy. How does the horse feel those butt cheeks of steel from a saddle? They must make high tech saddles these days.😅

Yes I can tell you that is not nearly enough for what he did. Any rider would scoff at what happened there. And those saddles were prevalent from the 1950s or 1960s, a long time ago but not thousands of years. In high school I volunteered to help handicapped people learn to ride. Its not that easy and they can't do that much more than stay on, Paralympics notwithstanding.

For sure it wasn't impossible just fantastical.

Yes in today world for sure but its still not easy. But this guy in ancient times found a well trained horse while captive in the Hidden Valley? As I said, suspending disbelief.

For sure - captive in enemy territory he found a horse that was so well trained for him he could even hands free shoot arrows. Amazing! Extraordinary! As someone who rides regularly, I can suspend disbelief.🤡

He was set on fire. Buried in the sand for kidnapping Bai Wan.

I am sorry but without assistive technology I find it hard to believe someone crippled can ride a horse like that. Suspending disbelief big time!!! 🧐👀

He is demanding that someone who waited 15 years to avenge his family/army help him deliver instant revenge for his Beiwenhu army. I was just like - are you kidding me??? If he weren't so insistent maybe Han Zhiling would have lived.

Ep 12 Gu Yu's request of Huai'an seems to me really unreasonable

How many have you watched. Honestly, the first few were not that engaging and there were holes and odd edits. It gets interesting around at ep 8 or 9. It is however one of those strategy intense dramas. If you can't get into that kind of genre, it may not be for you.

Pu Nichuan, Wei Qianting and Liu Ziyan

Only half

There is a lot of strategy and intrigue. Many will find it boring bc its not a folding laundry/eating rice drama. Its all good, to each their own.
