The king is such a disappointment. Does not expand the kingdom or consolidate his power. All that killing only…
I bet Korean at those times didn't really have the ambition to conquer other countries. They were lack of population and resources. They are also unlucky to have Japanese and Chinese as their neighbours. Just how many times since ancient times Korean peninsula been invaded?
she already paid her tax anyway.* Many showbiz people had tax problems in China, most of them got banned or cancelled by govt (even if they resolved the original due tax and fine). Meanwhile, some of them could slip away (ofc after paying their obligations), if they were close to CCP. -I read it in some articles- take it with a grain of salt. *tax matters can be tricky but not hard either. I hope everybody has good knowledge about tax in their respective countries.
I heard a rumor that Yiqi got the broadcasting rights in Japan. But... according to Chinese laws, it is first…
Hu Yixuan is a talented actress. Anyway, whoever replaced YBY is okay. That's not their fault to become a replacement. The bittersweet feeling remains for YBY and all the fans of her/ this drama.

PMY and ZZH's Castle in the time got a broadcasting license in Japan. Or a Japan's company buy the rights. Something like that. I think They are already out on a Japanese streaming platform. I think there is hope with LNF. As a last resort, LNF will be sold to streaming platforms but only air in foreign countries not in China's sovereignty.
It's nothing compared to a custom in certain beliefs, where a female widow is highly encouraged* to follow her…
OMG, when I think I bout it. Women in ancient times really poor. They were treated like property. And when they become a widow, are stuck in the middle. They can't move forward to find a new husband because they are obliged to serve in-laws, nor they're able to back to their parental home because they will become burdens. And usually, the in-laws keep the widows in half-assed manner. It can be worse if the widow is childless or having a daughter. in ancient China, low concubines / tribute women (mostly maid in palace or slaves) of the late king should follow their deceased husband master to the tomb mausoleum. Stay in the mausoleum til death comes to them.
I just can’t understand this tradition staying chaste and mourning a husband you never met?😳😳I come from…
It's nothing compared to a custom in certain beliefs, where a female widow is highly encouraged* to follow her dead husband by sacrificing herself into the fire (frankly speaking, burning herself). It was an ancient custom that became a tradition in modern times. But this custom has long been banned by modern govt. (maybe less than one hundred years a go) because it was considered horrifying and inhuman. *I said it's highly encouraged not compulsory because it was a matter of choice of the widow. But, pressure from society and in-laws or even so-called love could trigger her to throw herself into the bonfire.
Another scary custom: mass suicide of wife, kids and retainers when your husband was defeated in war. They rather end their life than fall into the enemy's hands and become slaves. this custom also wants to prove someone's loyalty.
In ep 5, the consultant Oji-san's guidelines remind me of a certain establishment. It is not a cult though, only borrows some religion's teachings as its material content. Funny enough, most of the consultant Oji-san's instructions to Yaguchi and Suzuki, I found it was applied to that establishment. And yes, that establishment is quite successful and rich. Now it owns a building in the city. It has many clients, especially corporates, who can pay a large sum of money. To attend their activity, one individual must pay some bucks. There's nothing wrong with the establishment, really. I have attended their event once. But I didn't find it enlightens me like most people experienced before. Perhaps I was too cynical and called it psychologically deceiving.
It's a highly interesting and enjoyable drama—funny, but it also has its deeper moments. To be honest, I really…
Actually, they are the perfect duo. Suzuki has the 'product' while Yaguchi is keen to sell the product. Anyway, both men are talented in their own way. Yes, I sense Yaguchi will invite problems that are enough to blow them up -enough to make them back to scratch. He sometimes goes uncontrollably greedy.

I'm glad I was born in modern time.
