The title should've been "The Military Uprisings in Goryeo". Uprising 1 and Uprising 2.
That's correct, it was a war composed of three invasions.
The show started a year or two (I can't remember) before the 2nd War started, and long after the 1st war ended.
The 2nd War were the years: 1009-1010, 1015, 1016, 1017 (invasions).
The 3rd war started in 1018 and ended in 1019, after a massive defeat of the Khitans. It was in the 3rd war that the General Kang became a hero reveared to this day. But there are only 4 episodes left to do him justice, os expect a lot of skips and less "warfare" scenes. They'll probably just make it dramatic.
The current king, he ruled during the 2nd and 3rd wars, and a few years after the war.
1. She's not your property. 2. If you're damn slow, the more you have no right to complain and assert yourself. 3. She never asked for you so don't assume. 4. If you're intruding in someone else's home, leave things the way they are.
If I was the 1ML, I'll nail it in his head he almost killed the "love if his life", and tell him, "you don't love her, you're obsessed". If he doesn't leave her alone voluntarily after that, I'll call a mental hospital.
Ehh? Too much time wasted on internal politics instead of the war.Well, I guess that's because it's based on a…
Looks like the 3rd Goryeo-Khitan War is nothing but a footnote. 4 episodes left. How can they give justice to Gen Kang? They didn't even show what the king did to win the hearts of the people. It was winning the hearts of the people that greatly contributed to them winning against the Khitans, and it was all due to the king. He did well.
And Gen Kang was the key in winning against the Khitans. 4 episodes for that? Probably just 3, because 1 episode will be spentwith politics and "victory" party.
My answer:A1: This one is so hard to guess. Female-EunHo is struggling between retaining his identity as a man…
In a way, yes, gender identity.
Though I see it more as not accepting one's (new) reality.

Just to expound, since I like this topic.
I'm straight male. But if I get body swapped with a woman, I'll live as a woman. If there's a technology to transfer to a new body, I'll definitely choose a biological woman's body as my next body, and live as a woman for my next lifespan. Depending on my experience, I'll more likely extend it to 5 more lifespans.
I'm a straight guy, but I have a deep desire about anything beautiful and pretty, like dresses. I even crossed-dressed once. ;)
It's why the way I see it is not so much related to one's gender preference and identity, it's more on not accepting one's reality.
To put it another way, most people think "pink" is "girly" and if a man wears pink, they're gay. I strongly disagree. A man can find fink attractive not because of their gender preference and identity, rather, because it is their reality. That reality is, their brain is wired towards pink. The problem is, society wants us to believe otherwise.
It's the same with LGBTQ, they simply accepted their reality. It's not exactly about gender, it's reality. It's "This Is Me".
So, like me, people find me weird because I challenge the norms, and they can't "label" me properly. (People loves to put labels these days, which generally results in further discrimination.)
I'm: * Straight guy. * Loves pink and blue (more on pink). * Loves everything beautiful and pretty. * Loves dresses. * I side with women far more than men, that some men accuses me of being a traitor. * And as I've said earlier, I'll pick a woman's body as my next life/lifespan if given a chance to choose, even if I will retain my memories as a man.
that theory would be problamatic since it implies that behaving like a woman must mean being submissive and cute,…
To add to that, in fiction, it's also called as a trope. And in body swap genres, there are tropes that writers often follow. Now because they are discriminatory "women are these, and men are that", rather, that's what is currently known to work with audiences, especially their target audience.

We can't deny that is what society has been since the beginning of humanity. It is only recently that things started so change, and there are still many cultures like that.
So, to properly analyze a show, you have to think from their culture and perspective, and what is generally what society dictates.
If we ignore that, and try to frame it in our "changed" perspective, we wouldn't appreciate and/or understand the story of the author.
Ahh. I finally realised what it was that they did differently.In most body swap stories, the “male body” with…

Secondly, even if they are as you claim them to be, what's wrong with that? That's their choice.
LOOP IT!

Well, I guess that's because it's based on a novel, the focus is different.
Though I see it more as not accepting one's (new) reality.

Indeed! What if the reason behind why they're comfortable with their new bodies was that, it was their original body in the first place?
