and damn, genghis khan was alive RIGHT in the middle of all this. he was bore 8 years before the 1170 rebellion. korea was supposedly very persistent with its defense though; the mongols didnt conquer them til around 1259.

yeah, indeed. How it was like on the backburner this whole time, because everyone is too busy worring about their own power and not actually taking care of the country.
I don't even think it's the Mongols that technically took over Koryeo, I think it was the Khitans who did it, then the Mongols conquered the Khitans. Yeah, I think I read something like that too. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ghegis Khans son took over Koryeo even, since he was like really establishing his whole rule at that time.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. One more left  and DAMN, Yi Kyu-bo did it big in the opening of this episode. I loved how he just pushed the soothsayer and started throwing shit off the table. Also the appearance of the Mongols. |

Yeaaaaaaah
And yeah, that was amazing, just like, going crazy. You know he don't care bout shit! Also, awwwww yeah, I love how they just like, try to walk straight up to the emperor to give it to him, and when Choong Hon made them drop their weapons, that was pretty funny, since real mongols would be dropping like 5 or 6 weapons each. At that point Ghengis Khan was just runnin shit from home base, right? So we won't see him?

so who have been all the merit subjects in this show? Yi Ko, Yi Ui-bang, Chung Jung-bu, Yi Ui-min, Du Kyung-seung, Choi Choong-hon, Choi Choong-su? Was Jinjae ever officially made a Merit Subject? I think so.

I'm not sure if he was quite elevated to that level, since he got some special position as a part of one of the Emperor's tactics, but I don't think he was QUITE elevated to the place of a merit subject.
And yes, we are now in the brave new future, where such things are indeed possible. I just hope we can survive. I don't know that it will feel as special though, as it did the first time, imagine if we watched Age of warriors ONLY bi-weekly like we did everything else. COULD YOU IMAGINE!?! Not only would it have taken forever, but damn, after those most amazing episodes, we would have had a lot of time to digest such greatness, now we didn't quite get such time. I sorta wish we had that still, like watching THE episode, then having a week to just sit in awe of it's greatness, now you only get 23 hours to process the information before the next one comes along.

It blows my mind to see Xue Rengui looking so young, and having such a minor looking role. HA HA HA HA H AH HA HA HA And to think what went on to happen to him. |
