Choko perspicaciously compared Won Kyun in Ep. 90 with Macbeth. On my part, I thought of Salieri.

florel,
I have a question in regards to the little bronze buddha picture below your name. Isn't that the No. 1 Japanese national treasure? If not, what is it?

No, drama watcher. It's Korean national treasure # 83, "Gilt Bronze Seated Maitreya" (made in Shilla or in Baekche in 7th century). Korean national treasure # 83 The Japanese national treasure #1 is a wooden sculpture, also made by a Korean's hand ( related posting by Choko). A comparison between the Korean national treasure # 83 and the Japanese national treasure # 1 : www.prkorea.com/english/history/his2-04.htmIt's a widespread buddhist iconography in Shilla and in Baekche in the Antiquity. (Just remind how many similar iconographies of the Virgin or of the Christ were widespread in medieval and Renaissance European Art. ) This type of iconography (called as ban ga sa yu sang) was originated in Gandara (actual Afghanistan) and it entered in Korean peninsula through China in the 6th century. Koreans were especially fond of Maitreya statutes. (The Chinese or the Indians often sculpted other buddhist figures with the same iconographic type.) This is Korean national treasure # 73, "Gilt Bronze Seated Maitreya" (made in Shilla or in Baekche, end of 6th century). Korean national treasure # 78

Umm, are all the national treasures in Asia numbered? Bo Well, I'm not sure all the Asian National Treasures have their own numbers, but those of Korea and Japan have it. The numbers were given by each government.

Thanks, Choko. It just gives a strange cast to the conversation, no? "Yesterday, Japan's Prime Minister said of Korean National Treasure #35, 'Well, it's no Japan #48, but we think it's pretty fine.' Korean government ministers have not been reached for comment as of yet, but a stiff rejoinder is expected."Bo

There are some scribblings in the diary. Historians guess they are YSS's signature practice. (So funny. ;D) Korea's National Treasure #132, Prime Minister Yu Sung-ryong's Book of Corrections

I think they must use numbers because of the sheer overwhelming number of them.
I hope that's YSS's signature practice, not Won Kyun trying to forge his name, LOL. "Yi Sun Young. No, that's not it. Yi Park ...drat. Oh, I can't do anything right..."

lol.
Is there actually a signature by the admiral?
Yi Sun Shin knew he was cool and looked tough in his armor, so he practiced a signature to give to his lady Chosunese fans.

The punishment shown is NOTHING like the one shown in a korean history drama before. It was the one after wang gun but I forgot what it was called, the episode actually showed the heads on display.

It's not unnecessary. There's been tons of violence in all the past korean dramas. If you have been watching past shows you would know that what's in YSS is not any more than, if not less than what we've seen in Wang Guhn, DOTE, and AOW. I do not think there has been any excess violence in the show, cause it really happened. Stuff like that is needed to show viewers what things were like back then.
"Oh I don't see anything happening, it couldn't have been THAT bad!! They must've had great lives cause no one got hurt!!" >_>
Don't complain, violence is a part of life. I find it pretty irritating when people try to change history just cause they don't like it. ~_~
