Daemado, Yu Sung-Ryong had his own slaves, of course, even though the drama doesn't show them. Every aristocrats had their attendant slaves.
At least, in the drama, we have seen two maid slaves of Mrs. Yi.
These personal servant slaves left their Lady or Lord when they got married. (But it didn't signify the changement of their social status as slave.)

You beast, you've just ... destroyed my image of him! ;D And ... another troubling thought ... I may have ancestors who owned slaves. Or for that matter, since the family records suspiciously only go back to the Imjin Waeran, I may have ancestors who were slaves. Or both!

Just as long as Chun-su is nowhere to be found in my family tree!

Thank you, ShawScope, sorry if I sounded crabby. The reason for that would be, I'm kinda crabby. In fact, I make MasterCrabby look like a kitty cat.

But I do think attribution is important, so thanks again. (And for the info, too)

I guess Yu Sung-Ryong must have been a gentle Lord toward his slaves. ;D At least, it's certain that he didn't have many slaves. I heard he was not rich. This poor minister was a good contrast to Yun Du-Su, the "Lord of Corruption".

It's good to not have Chun-Su as ancestor, isn't it ? ;D

Anyway, everyone can have calm spirit because Chun-Su is a fictional character !
Dieu Merci !

Oh! I see. Now you've got me very interested in the Japanese naval formations. I really want to see how the Chosun Navy formations fought against the Japanese formations.

Skinz, they showed a Japanese naval formation against the crane wing formation of YSS in Episode 74. The scenario describes it as "fish scale formation". (This formation name is not mentioned in dialog but explained in the scenario.) I don't know if it's authentic to show the Japanese navy using the fish scale formation on sea. It seems it's probable that they have used it at least on land battles.

I saw episode 74 on the official website. I probably skipped it because I was on a rush that day. All I saw was a land battle, which by the way looked fantastic. Guess I'll have to watch it again.

And by the way, is it me or are the scenes shot better? The battle sequences are more colorful and huge compared to the action sequences in earlier shows.

Episode 74 is the best for both naval and land battles. It depicts the Sea Battle of Hansan Island and the Battle of Ichi Pass. It's the first climax of the series (or the second climax after the Battle of Nok dune Island).
And I think producers and cameramen are showing progress each time they make huge battle scene.
This weekend they will show the Sea Battle of Busan Port, another huge naval battle scene.


OK, Bo. I changed the font color.

Hey, guys, be careful--you're getting way ahead of episode 58. (I know you're all excited about Ep 74, but you did set up these spoiler rules for yourselves, LOL).
