Welcome to the forum, latina, and thanks for joining us. Certainly did not expect anybody would ever show up from South America. Amazing how these shows interest people all over the planet. If IE is your first historical, well, I'm glad you're enjoying it but I can tell you that most of the previous ones have been better. I hope you get the chance to see some of them someday. And hopefully we'll all have more good new ones in the future.
About those episodes being chopped up: We've been pretty lucky here in Chicago; we had some cuts in ours pretty early on, but then the station decided to just run them uncut and made the effort to squeeze them into the schedule, which was great. But most other places seem to be getting at least small cuts, and then there are the horror stories about episodes cut down to 50 minutes, which is just brutal. The episode summaries posted here should have most or all of the missing content, at least after the first 20 or 25 episodes. So you can at least look those up and fill in the blanks.

Episode 64 – aired Saturday night in a very snowy Philadelphia I surprising enjoyed the entire episode. Looks like things are heating up with Kim Chiang’s plans. Pretty astute of Sagamun to figure out Gang Gamchan had been stopping in a particular town, hence Prince Daeryang must be in the area. I'm wondering how Dokyun's 'bad feeling' about continuing will turn out.Still we had a few far-fetched moments: the secret tunnel that ran all the way from the temple to someone’s backyard: an amazing engineering feat! Cheonchu telling Mokjong, if you didn’t want to be Emporer why didn’t you just stop, was a groaner. She must have a memory problem. How many times did she demand that he keep with it?! Cheonchu’s shock over Mokjong’s affair was pretty deep. She looked devastated. I loved the older monk’s premonition of darkness in the sky and his subsequent command to not eat the rice. Mysterious but cool how it worked out. Lot’s of good scenes in this episode. I found it disturbing that Dokyun didn't want to kill anyone else but when she found out it was Prince Daeryang, a young man, she had no problem at all. How motherly of her. I agree about ED Cheonchu’s devastation. I find it harder to watch King Mokjong cry and laugh at the same time. You can feel his pain and hopelessness. How pathetic are they going to make him? It's over the top. I also wondered at her memory lapse. He didn't want to be the King from the very beginning and told her repeatedly. Did you recognize the two young men that were with Prince Daeryang? One played a son of King Sejong and the other was Dolsu from IYSS. He died of the plague while quarantined with Commander Uh. A few episodes ago, the Chinese envoy was the actor that played Japanese Commanders Gurujima ( both brothers).

A few episodes ago, the Chinese envoy was the actor that played Japanese Commanders Gurujima ( both brothers). Drat! I didn’t notice and I didn’t tape last weekend’s episodes. As for Dokyun, now that she is a mother, she fears losing her son. No one else's sons meant anything until now. Duh. I agree about King Mokjong. I wonder what will happen to him after he steps down, ie: will he ever be able to lead a 'normal' life again? Episode 65 seemed slower & more uneven than 64. While I liked the head monk reading the stars, his comment about reading Prince Daeryang’s face was too far fetched. I also found it hard to believe Chiyang, when talking to his evil ‘twin,’ that he loves still loves Cheonchu. Yeah, right!

latina, you can read the summary for the episode that's posted on this board, or else you can go to one of the websites that stream the episodes and watch the end of 71. (Technically those websites don't have permission and shouldn't be doing it, but KBS doesn't seem to be making any effort to stop them.)

I usually watch it online as well as on WMBC in the NYC area because so much is cut there. Over the weekend I noticed that my main sources for esubbed episodes - viikii and mysoju - both have broken links. I was only able to find it on a site without e subs. I wonder what's up with that all of a sudden.....it's a real PITA.....

I'm a littler disappointed I was hoping for the producer to keep some of the most important history facts. I didn't know anything about Korean history, and since I started watching this drama I have been reading more about it, very interesting.

By the way, tink, great catch on those two guys in Ep64. I remember that plague episode well but sure didn't recognize the kid.

By the way, tink, great catch on those two guys in Ep64. I remember that plague episode well but sure didn't recognize the kid. I forgot to add two others. Xiao Baiya is the actor that played Brue in AOW and Gang Sangin in GKS. Yelu Dilu is the actor that played Ulginae, the barbarian leader in IYSS. A few episodes back I wondered why Empress Dowager Xiao looked different besides her being older. She lost her Vulcan eyebrows which Yelu Pennu found along with a razor that he went crazy with. (You can always tell the "barbarians" by their Vulcan eyebrows in these dramas but it's mostly the women.) Why is he the random guy with a shaved head and what's with the wild sideburns on one side of his face? Also at the confrontation at the river between Gang Jo and his men and the soldiers from Liao, one of the men looked like a Civil War Reenactor with Mutton Chops.

One of the new Khitan warriors played the Wolf of Mt Madu in DJY: Gaepilsamum, the man who liked to talk with his mouth full. (I'm having a difficult time keeping track of who's who in Liao, can't remember his name. :

That guy really stood out. ;D One of the new Khitan warriors played the Wolf of Mt Madu in DJY: Gaepilsamum, the man who liked to talk with his mouth full. (I'm having a difficult time keeping track of who's who in Liao, can't remember his name. : jojo, I thought about it after I posted this: Yelu Dilu is the actor that played Ulginae, the barbarian leader in IYSS.
He also played the Wolf of Madu as you stated. The writers really tried and succeeded in making us feel sorry for the villains in this weekend's episodes with the long drawn out death scenes. I will not miss seeing Chiyang's evil self arguing with his "good self" or Saila's bladed boomerang. I can't fathom how the "great enterprise" was more important to Sagaman that he'd sacrifice his own son. What a loser. I had to laugh at the *high speed chase* between Saila and the soldiers pursuing her. Is the little Prince really dead? BTW Tak Sajeong (one of the soldiers chasing Saila) is the actor that played one of The Archfiends son's in AOW, Kim Simin Commander of Jinju Fortress in IYSS and Muby in GKS.
