Ep 40 has all these revelations....but I need a picture map of all these people to understand who is who. Who is Peng quan.

lol, I'm nont there yet. Only on ep 40

wtf, that liang governor kills when not supposed to and he just picks up a story to make the king reminisce about the past and he gets a free pass. And that unspoken acknowledgement/agreement between the the liang governor and the king...something is fishy here. I believe this is the scene where lby realized the king is too easily swayed and soft hearted to do the deed, so he decided to take it upon himself for revenge.

OK, I take it back, it's not the governor liang's lack of punishment that caused lby to distrust the king's judgement in giving Huo General justice, it's the king's indecisiveness towards the Consort's family that caused lby to lose trust in the king. You can totally see the obvious disbelief when the king gave a pass to the Consort's brother. Even the Consort was disappointed.

I gotta say, I enjoy lby's ruthlessness. It's a breath of fresh air sometimes.

dramacool only subbed up to ep 48. I typically use an asian site to watch dramas, they tend to upload dramas according to China's schedule.

I refresh and all 56 eps are out. I'm so behind just finished ep 40.

I pray she takes a period drama. Too many modern dramas.

I like his worth ethics. He goes the extra mile.

Yes, and I think that's his last straw that made him a lunatic. It's what finalized his decision to take the revenge in his own hands. Poor thing.

I think the big problem with Wendy is being too nostalgic and placing heavy importance on past relationships and benefactors. Being a thankful and grateful person is awesome, but not so much on being a King that rules a kingdom. He always gives leniency on the officials that take advantage of his kindness and the king also does just that, given these evil greedy officials the benefit of the doubt. If it wasn't for lby always knocking some sense into the king, the king would've been made a fool even more. But, it's also this behaviour that allowed lby to be favoured for so many years by the King. So it's a double sword.

Yes, I think 5 years isn't too long either, it's also a relief. Those 5 years allow a person to reflect on themselves and to grow. However, 5 years in the battle field does sound horrible for lby, even if he's an experienced general.

Can lby forget his revenge and just live happily with css? No, I don't think he can and in some ways he shouldn't forget what those people did to his family. They killed every single member of his family and left him as sole survivor, his family sacrificed so he could live. I don't think he initially planned to slaughter Ling family, it's at the incident when he realized the king wouldn't really do anything punishable to Huo General's enemies that he realized he had to take things in to his own hands. That's also when he realized he had to choose whether to forsake css or his family. It's not like he initially knew he would come to this, he trusted the King to have better judgement since the King always preach about Huo General. But lby was disappointed in the King and didn't trust him anymore in getting revenge for Huo General. If lby knew it would come to this, I don't think he would've asked to be engaged to css. (I'm only on ep 38, been hoarding the eps, but I have seen clips of what's about to happen)

The only character i like is Zhu Zhe, and maybe Zhenzhen. I prefer s1 and s2

I am very impressed with Leo's swordsmanship and agility at such a young age. He definitely trained for this, just going to the gym and lifting weights doesn't provide the skills he shows when handling the sword or riding the horse. His spear and sword maneuverability is nothing I've ever seen in any cdrama, especially not anyone of his age. I'm very impressed to say the least.

Sometime the degree of favouritism from the King and Queen, towards LBY, is unfathomable and unrealistic. But, hey, that's drama, and I try to overlook that and just enjoy the ride.

Oh wow, thanks so much for keeping your words in replying! I didn't expect it haha. This in depth explanation gave a great insight of the happenings in those 5 years. I think one thing that wasn't logical was the soldiers not knowing LBY was exiled to the borders. I would assume an royal edict would accompany him along the way to announce it. I'm glad that even though he was exiled he basically lived a similar environment prior to his exile, meaning he's still respected by other soldiers, had a chance to earn merits and a manor. Lol, other exiled men don't have these favours or opportunities. Definitely, helps with the favour of the royal family. The King is definitely one of my fave character in this drama, he's very humourous.

The booklet of names that the mayor received was fake. So the names he gave ml was fake, but both didn't know. If ml didn't match the names listed by Gong then that means he isn't big mouse. But since he matched it, that means he is bc only big mouse would know the names of the drug lords.

I'm not sure about the novel, but irl, I saw a video done about the historic figures concerning this drama, The queen is dethroned and lives with the dethroned cp to their own city. I mean, she gets to live with her son and she gets to rule her own city/country. I think that's a good deal.

being a hero was really no adertisement or promo, but immortal samsara had promotios for months.

oooh, heavy competition. wyb's drama also aired recently
