find it ironic that Lee Ju Un doesn't…

find it ironic that Lee Ju Un doesn't want his son involved in the gangster life, so his son chose to be a prosecutor - the freakin irony & not only that, he is now bugging his father's office in the same home he is living in. idk if u call this balls or what, just surreal, really... also the fact his father doesn't suspect or just given his line of work - shouldn't he worry about bugs in general?!? *****************************************************************************************************************************also i get that just cause u got power or money, doesn't mean u will say "enough" there isn't such a thing as enough when it comes to money & power. so Lee Ju Un wanting more or being tempted by the thought of more, isn't weird. but if he is a smart man, all he needs to do is listen to Nam Gi Jun & "sit back & watch..." cause once Nam Gi Jun is finished, not only will he avenge his brother, Koo Bong San's gang won't exist. given their past acquaintance, Lee Ju Un should know this fact. *******************but if he is too greedy by the end of this drama, neither gang might survive. which would be kinda hilarious, when the prosecutors show-up to catch the gang-members. **********************************************************************************also idk why but i have a feeling that the person that murdered Nam Gi Seok was his right-hand-man, Cheon Hae Beom. maybe i am reading him wrong but there is something about him that i just don't trust. time will tell -

Love is not the only thing that can break a heart

The acting of the entire cast in this episode is stellar. You cannot choose your parents, and their choices can affect your entire life, as seen in this drama which starts out in rural Shandong of the late 1920s. My grandmother was told by her father that a girl after the age of 12 does not need education, and that is what he took from her. He was also responsible for her marriage. When I look at the sisters, I find myself experiencing a myriad mixture of emotions for them, and for everyone else who has been affected by an abrupt twist of fate. Xing Fei and Zhang Tianyang are impossible to look away from, and this is the drama where Yang Mi truly blossoms. You will feel the cold, you will grimace at the cruelty of circumstances, and you cannot turn away from everyone on the screen. Get ready a bunch of tissues if you are soft-hearted. The grit and rawness of this episode will stay with you, even after the credits roll. And you might get hungry after watching this. Looking forward to the rest of the drama. The emotional impact has been building since the first three episodes, and this episode is unforgettable.

Infiltrating into the Imperial Palace

From my pov this has to be the most intense episode till now, it'll change as I will watch further episodes, but for now this was the best till now. Picking up where I left it before. Fan Xian deliberately got drunk, to the point he couldn't even stand straight. And when The Literary Giant from Beiqi, ZY tried to frame him, Fan Xian being drunk recited so many poems, and more than a 100 characters filled the scrolls, the Writers were tired from writing all the poems he recited non stop, they were all in awe seeing Fan Xian like this. Has to be the best reply for what ZY did, the Emperor was pleased. Since Nanqing was found with Military Forces, it was far behind in Civil Administration as compared to Beiqi. And they declared Fan Xian as a Poetry Genius. He passed out in front of everyone in the banquet hall, and was carried home and escorted by Imperial Guards. He did it all deliberately, and when he reached his room he ordered Ruoruo to keep watch and prevent anyone from entering his room since he'll be gone, infiltrating into the Imperial Harem, and Wuzhu told him to be careful of Yang Xiaoyi (yang or yan, I don't remember). Amazing to see the exchange of moves between Wuzhu and Eunuch Hong. While Fan Xian saw someone suspicious and was eavesdroping on ZM's and Princess Royal 's conversation. He heard that the dangerous Prisoner under the Investigation bureau, Xiao an, was ZY's brother. In the last few minutes, the tension was intense, Fan Xian had to escape while Yan Xiaoyi stood at the highest place with his bow and arrow 🏹 in position to shoot any intruder. And he did aimed towards Fan Xian, although I think he definitely had some armor, but he still might have felt the impact of his Arrow (since he's a Ninth Dan Archer). To be honest among all the weapon users, be it Spear users, Swordsman, Axe users, Whip Users, but Archers are the coolest, they got the Aura, especially the actor who's playing Yan Xiaoyi, that character suits him. Fangirling fine, he deserves the title of a "HOTTIE ARCHER".
