Indeed, it's probably today or tommarow, I'm not sure if THAT happens before or after the Dirt Hill.

this episode was sooo awesome. xue rengui is 46 kinds of badass. yang manchun's THE EARTH WILL CRUMBLE. the introduction of hongpei. and li shimin really is pretty cool. some crazy bullshit with the star though. 'mars has a warrior energy, even though im only saying that because its name after the roman name for the greek god of war, even though thats only in a culture we dont have contact with yet, even though it wont even be named that for hundreds of years in that culture anyway.'

xue rengui really is one of the best acted characters in tv history. one of the things im most excited about rewatching now is seeing his rise to number 1 tang general.

Yeaaaaaah, all that stuff was brilliant, and yeah, Shinmin was pretty amazing, like how he like, just KNOWS he just done messed with the wrong man. And how he was all like "No, he deserves to die a better death than that." That was awesome. And yeah, though in reality if this event really happened, there was probably some different explaination, they probably have some other completely different star mythology we wouldn't understand or something, which would take too long to explain in text on screen. I dunno though.

xue rengui really is one of the best acted characters in tv history. one of the things im most excited about rewatching now is seeing his rise to number 1 tang general. Yeah, he really is, Lee Daokwa or however you spell it is just one of the best actors of all time. Xue Rengui is probably just his defining role for sure. And yeah, seeing him start from the bottom is so awesome. Plus, we'll get to see him become number one again! "I think it makes me look dashing!" |

I think that list is pretty close to perfect, though I MIGHT replace Li Kaigu with Bu Kiwon, you've gotta be good if you can make people hate you THAT much.
Hmm, that is interesting, though I doubt it's as good as a real historical drama.
Based on what I've read, Lee Deok wa is the man. I read somewhere that for a while he taught some sort of master acting class or something, and it sounded like he did it for free or something, I'm not sure, it was a while ago that I read it. I think it would probably be one of the most awesome things in the world to have XUE RENGUI be your college professor in acting.

i was thinking the same thing, we'll know soon enough! maybe i'm biased toward li kaigu because it's such an amazing role itself(as characters i'd only put yi ui-min, xue rengui, yi soon-shin and kyung dae-sung over him), although i do remember his acting being really good. maybe from just an acting perspective bu kiwon is better.
on the opposite end though, kyung dae sung was an amazing character but that actor was pretty shitty at times.

Yeah, Li Kaigu is quite an interesting character, but honestly, putting him next to Bu Kiwon judging SOLELY on acting, it's gotta be Bu Kiwon. Li Kaigu is good, but I think he occationally came off as a little cheesy sometimes, not a ton, just a little bit. But his role is harder so it's understandable. Bu Kiwon was comparatively easy, I'm sure the director said "just make people want to fucking annihliate you." and the dude was all like "yeah, that should be pretty easy for me." but he rose above and beyond the call, making people want to fucking annihliate him more than anyone could possibly imagine. We'll know absolutely for sure this time, we can analyze it more effectively now.
Yeah, I guess he was much younger then. Plus, I think he was destined to be Dae Jungsang, because he just nails it as him. Plus he had a better supporting cast, he was surrounded by the likes of Yang Manchun and Dae Joyoung himself, as well as having one of the greatest foils of all time in Xue Rengui. He could be getting carried a little bit by those aspects, but still, it works for him.

no, kyung dae sung was the dobang guy. dae jungsang does a pretty good job with his characters, but they're always the same and not really that hard to play. its always the ultra loyal good guy 100% of the time.

OHHH YEAAAAAAH, I was thinking the Dae Jungsang's Age of Warriors character for some reason. Yeah, he was a reletively mediocre actor, but his character was amazing. Such a shame really, he could have been even more awesome
Yeah, but he's so good at it, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, he's got the loyalist down. He was like the only good guy besides Kyung Dae Seung. I think Dae Jungsang's character's name was something really REALLY similar to Kyung Dae Seung, like Du Kyung Seung or something, and thats why I mixed them up. But I don't think he was as good at that guy as he was as Jungsang, since the other guy was Jungsang, except without the badass warrior stuff.

Yeah, that one is one of my favorites. And really, french? Why french? Korean would be awesome though. I doubt even with all the spare time I have that I could ever learn a real language, I have trouble learning anything other than English stuff.

I dunno, I'm not a giant fan of france. It's OK I guess, but I like Germany, Britian, Scandinavia, and Italy are better. French sounds good and all, but it never really interested me all that much.
Oh no way, thats crazy. It looks all Khan-like and informative!
Ha ha ha ha, yeah, I remember when you tried to teach yourself Japanese. I forget how many weeks it took you to give it up, it was interesting while it lasted though. And yeah, if it weren't for my debilitating phobias of various forms of travel, I'd think it would be cool to go to a lot of places like that. I'll have to just settle with America until the continents finally collide and we can do land travel to Asia.
