Looking back on Episode 6 and 7, it was kind of plain and boring at times. It was mainly focused on Kiha displaying the jujak power with the heart of jujak to bring everyone on the side of Ho Gae and oppose Damdeok. There were barely any scenes of Suzini which explains for the lacklustre nature. I nearly dozed off at one point while watching. Guess it was essential for the story progression.
If Damdeok is to be king, he needs the help of the four symbols. It is obvious that Kiha who is bound to Hwa Cheon sect by the insignia that Daejangryo planted on her back, she can’t go against them. It is destined that Kiha must oppose Damdeok and this is where Suzini will come into the picture.
Kiha utilising the heart of jujak power, that was awesome i must say…
The night when the star of Jyushin shone brightly…
The night when Damdeok was born, scene looks like a painting…
The sword of Jumong glowing brightly as Damdeok spoke to it…where only Kings can do it
Suzini did appear in episode 7 and was shown trying to “break out of jail” after seeing the ”rally” call from Black Village. She tried using brute force in attempts to “get out of prison”, running to and fro the cell and slammed herself against the metal bars and wall. In the end, it was all an act, since she only wants to be known to her teacher, that she did tried her very best to get out. Funny scene.
Kiha trying in vain to remove the mark from her back. It is known that you can’t escape the clutches of Hwa Cheon sect as long as you have this on you…
Damdeok forced into a corner with even his own army turning against him…poor chap…
Damdeok recalling his past memories of what he said about Kiha staying by his side always, and not to be too hard on herself to help him…that was touching
Kiha feeling sorry that she had to betray him by serving Ho Gae as king…
So did they or did they not???
Yeon Ho Gae has a really wretched life, forced to ditch his manly honorable ways and resorting to evil sneaky means through his evil parents and Daejangryo, poor him…
Kiha forever bound to Hwa Cheon sect…unable to escape their clutches…
Meanwhile the preview for ep 8 and 9 looks really cool. Seems like White Tiger descendant will help Suzini get out of jail and we can see the power of the white tiger element. Suzini also handles a bow and arrow, remiscent of Sae-Oh?
On a sad note, the chinese subber group TSXZ is stopping the production of the drama because of overwhelming complaints from the community over its biased rendition of history.
