Hi Guys,
This question is about Yi Uimin's spiritual/strategic adviser, Duduel. I have heard him referred to as a monk in previous episodes, but I wonder why he does not shave his head, in contrast to those monks who staged a rebellion against Yi Uibang.
Also, is this Duduel a real man who just happens to be very wise(analogous to Zhuge Liang Kongming in the Three Nations epic) or an actual supernatural entity (analogous to the Arthurian Merlin).
AND WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THAT FREAKY HAT !!!!! ;D

duduel is an ex-monk- therefore doesnt shave his head..and yes..i do belive that he is real..not a magical entity... and the hat..you'll just have to ask the costume person for the show about that one..

I think trhe hat was a multi purpose one...to protect from the sun (because he went on a journey sort of) and it could be used as a shield. I'm also almost positive he was a real person.

You really don't need to shave your head as a monk. I remember from Wang Guhn, or Dawn of the New Empire, one of the highly respected monk didn't shave his head.

My impression is that Duduel is intended to be a real person rather than a supernatural being. I would be interested to find out whether he is an actual historical character. My guess is not. I think he is placed in this drama as a plot device to forecast (and, in some ways, justify) Ui Min's rise. I like the comparison to Zhuge Liang. Too bad there isn't that level of clever battlefield strategy employed in this drama--then things would get even more interesting (the lack of elaborate battle strategy is one of my few complaints about this otherwise awesome drama).

I find it very hard to believe he is a real person. He shows up in places he is not allowed at the correct time? s
