Awww shit, those Huh Seung scenes were amazing. I specifically remember this one moment, where he just effortlessly killed one of the leaders of the rebellion. He did it with such ease and style, and was dressed in all black with his dark black hair and black beard, and just looked at his body with this numb, emotionless faced, turned around and strolled off.
And that Scene with Kyung's ghost really was amazing. It was so much more amazing because of how loyal Kyung was. In life he would never even consider rising to power, even though he obviously could and the Empire would have been so much better off. But after seeing what would happen to the people in the future, he was so filled with rage and sorrow that he said he would have overthrown the Emperor and risen to the throne if he knew. The acting was amazing in that scene.

Yeah, he really seems like in any scene he could change from heel to face. And like, you never really could tell what his true intentions were until the very end. You could tell that he was a good guy in some cases like that, and something like that makes him truely great.
Oh yeah, thats was just unbeilevable, And how surreal it was, like I mean not only in the obvious sense, but also in the sense of that it was such a jump from the normal format, where they would stay away from stuff like that, but in that cause it made sense, and it was just so different and well done. Everything about it was incredible.

Oh, and I really loved the dialogue in that scene where Duduel told Choong-hon his future. He said something like: "You will rule above the Emperor while pretending to be his subject, and you will attain the throne without the Emperor's robe."

Yeah, that was insane. When he just like, totally prophesized everything and everyone wanted to kill him and Choong Hon just laughed at him and let him go
Duduel in general was just amazing, they really handled his surreal magical elements so well, where there was like reasonable doubtability for his magic, and it could all be explained somehow, but like, the way he would act about it, he would never claim the "supernatural" acts directly, but would act like it was him just to psyche out his enemies and keep control over anyone else. And I also loved how he was respected by practically everyone, reguardless of who they were, they would call him Master and such, and treat him with some degree of respect. It was also awesome how he to some degree represented the hope of the people.

MORE:
Any reference to Yi Ui-bang's IRON CLUB.
That time when Yi Ui-min went to recue Muby, and those assassins found him, and he just strolled up to him with his axe, with this calm look on his face, knowing he could easily destroy them, but was annoyed that he had to do it. And then of course he destroyed them.
During Yi Ko's rebellion, when an assassin tried to kill him but was defeated by Yi Ko, and he had him at sword point.
"Don't tell me who sent you, or you won't die."
"It was ..."
"You didn't hear me correctly *he kills him* No matter who sent you, they can't stop me."
It was SO awesome because I thought it was just one of those typos they have ALL the time, and then he was like "you didnt hear me correclty" and i was like DAAAAAAAAAAMN.
The final montage detailing the various rises and falls of power.
"Yi Ui-min led a secret army out of the Imperial City, and you got carried away flower watching!?"

Yeah, that shit was straight classic, But the whole Yi Ko thing was "Tell me who you are before I count to three, or I'll kill you."
He counted to 3, then he says "OK I'll tell you!" after he says three. THATS what made it awesome.
Yeah, that final synopsis was amazing to watch, with them riding up and stuff. I loved those in general, whenever they would summerize the life of someone. That was amazing. That guy is one of my favorite characters, the narrator that is.
HA HA HA HA HA, yeah, back when Chung Kyun was like a flowery homo. Then he became a raging asshole.
