And also in the drama, he seemed upset about YSS's death despite their differences earlier on. In real life, did he like YSS and was he sad because of YSS's death?
So what happens to Jin Lin after the war?
What happens to Kato after the war? He just disappears after ep. # 100-something.

Chen Lin was a actually big fan of Yi Soon Shin. This is why he was the only Chinese general to join Yi Soon Shin in the final battle, and cried out over Yi Soon Shin's dead body. It was Chen Lin who selected the grave site for Yi Soon Shin. Chen Lin tried to pursuade Yi Soon Shin to leave Korea and the asshole king after the war and go to Ming to command Ming's northen frontier(Anti-Manchurian) army(Because Yi Soon Shin battled against Manchus before taking a command of a navy fleet), but Yi Soon Shin already made up his mind.
Kato lived to be an old man and died of a natural cause. If you dislike that happy ending, then go watch "Azumi", where Kato meets his untimely death at the hands of a 17-year old schoolgirl assassin.

Glad to hear my personal hero and my nation's hero is so greatly respected even among other people of other nations.
Do Japanese and Chinese people know him well? What do they think of him?

Wakizaka left a lot of writings about Yi Soon Shin; real-life Wakizaka had no personal hatred against Yi Soon Shin and expressed an admiration for somebody who was clearly better than him in his writings. It is not like "Wakizaka kills Yi Soon Shin's master, girlfriend, son, friend, beloved subordnate, dog, cat, whatever because Yi Soon Shin killed Yakizaka's elder brother and left a deep scar on his face to last a lifetime".
It was like King Richard admiring Saladin, even though they never met in person.
So yes, Yi Soon Shin was throughly researched by Japanese after the war, and the most misconception about Yi Soon Shin's fleet actually originates from Japanese, starting with that infamous iron-plate armor of Turtle Ships...

hmm... well the Chinese have heard of him. Lol, but to the Chinese, Qi Jiguang is more famous (sorry, it's racial biasm) and like the Ming ppl portrayed in this drama, sees this war as nothing more then a battle "in a subject state". However, the Ming ppl, unlike the drama, had a serious deep hatred for the Japanese, and still remembers this battle because of their anti-Japanese histories and thoughts. I have this book that keeps a record of all the famous people in Asian History (mostly Chinese of course, because it's in Chinese) and Hideyoshi (duh) and Yi Soon Shin were recorded in there. Apparently, the chinese never forgotten about Yi Soon Shin, and considers him as one of the greatest Asian admiral ever lived.

I also heard that Jin Lin collapsed 3 times on the deck of his ship when he heard of Yi Soon Shin's death.

I never knew Wakizaka admired Admiral Yi. The drama character just portrays him as a frustrated antagonist. And what about that misconception of the infamous iron plated ships? What about them? Admiral Yi's death is so tragic. poor Jin Lin

I never knew Wakizaka admired Admiral Yi. The drama character just portrays him as a frustrated antagonist. Wakizaka admired YSS? It may come from "아시아를 바꾼 이순신" blah blah... but It was turned out to be an infamous INTERNET RUMOR FULL OF INVETNS. I'm really feeling pity for those who spread the rumor without verification. pakyownage4eva, if you can read Korean, look at this. blog.naver.com/halmi/40015790426

Rumor... Yes I thought as much.
Becaue IYSS portrayed Wakizaka as a maniac. To then say he was the complete opposite in real life seems kind of a stretch to me

Tim, the rumor they are telling is about Wakizaka.
FrederickII's comment on Chen Lin collapsing three times comes from YSS's biography written by Yi Bun (YSS's nephew). This is the exact quotation from the book.
Chen Lin fell on his boat three times as he cried loudly "Even after your death, you saved my life !" Once again he beat his bosom and wept bitterly for a long time. After this tragedy the whole navy, including the Ming Chinese sailors, refrained from eating beef [as mourners do].
(Imjin Changcho, Admiral YSS's Memorials to Court, English trans., Yonsei Univ. Press, 1979, p. 238).
