Though I liked the non stop action in most part of the tv show, I find the ending absolutely disappointing.
Heroes action in terms of not letting go the villain for the war crimes is applaudable.
However, he decides to give up the throne? Because he is lazy or finds it boring?
Unacceptable as this will lead to poor ruling and the suffering of people. Though Chong is shown to be a nice man, it was the same of the father who decided to u-turn and kill his brother who should have been the king. it’s not like the father king was perfect…he married chu’s mother against her wishes though his crime is conveniently forgotten by everyone. Why did langya his brother conveniently remained silent against the brother king and let him rule till his death when he should be the king.
This can happen again. To avoid this, the hero should have accepted the throne and rule which could have helped people …putting an inefficient ruler is a bigger sin than anything….so the hero failed in my eyes and hence a rating of 7 instead of 9.5 or 10… this is where I think Sword snow stride is a better tv show of 2022/2023
