Climax and ending near to Six Flying Dragons drama.

We are only left for another 8 episodes to go before the finale of the 50-episode sageuk SBS drama Six Flying Dragons 육룡이 나르샤. Fans and viewers who are currently glued to the Monday-Tuesday slot will be rounding up their imaginary conclusions for this hit drama. 

As we can see main hero Lee Bang Won is been send off to Ming country (China) to persuade the Emperor regarding the rumors and spies that were send from Joseon. In fact the Emperor of China was pissed off hearing that Joseon people are collaborating with Jurchen merchants at the border- well thanks to the smarty pants PM Jeong Do Jeon who is behind that. Bang Won strikes a deal with Zhu Di (later becomes Emperor Yongle) while leaving faithful bodyguard Moo Hyul with the soldiers. He promised to come back for him after finishing his business. And we were all treated to Bang Won's background voice calling Moo Hyul from far...his Master has kept his promise. 

Nameless (Moo Myung) group have been dispersed after JDJ sends Lee Bang Ji to infiltrate the hiding camp. However leader Yeon Hyang is seen cooperating with Zhu Di in China. We bid farewell to former Hwasadan's Lady Cho Young had her last moments after been betrayed by Yeon Hee and officer Lee Sin Jeok. Now we wish we can also get rid of Yeon Hee for being a traitor and also a two-faced person. She is one character that I didn't feel pitiful for even though she had a sad past but her ways of using Bang Ji around has definitely taken me to a point I wish she was dead. 
And the way she tells Boon Yi not work anymore for Bang Won gets on my nerves.

                         

Everyone seemed to grow older and wiser in the next coming episodes. Seems like it's taken forever when it was just a short time. Their young images were replaced with facial hair, beard and mustaches. Why can't olden days people shave off to look better? We will be missing the boyish looks of Moo Hyul and Bang Won in the drama. Eeek! Anyway Bang Won will be returning to Joseon with glory as promised to his father King Taejo (Lee Seong Gye) and also to reclaim what he has lost. The agreement of sending Bang Won to the countryside for 5 years left him with no choice but to either live/die persuading the Emperor of China. It was mere excuse for JDJ stating he has to save Bang Won that way- a pack of lies as he starts to reform and brainwashing the scholars including his followers into the new troop- Milbon. Milbon is formed as a base of roots for the country that consists of people. 


However it took a while for Bang Won to banish off Milbon and still it lingered until to his son's reign. The writer did a good script this time in producing and having the viewers feel that Lee Bang Won is the innocent person and it wasn't his fault to be greedy for power. Then we were left in delusion again after all Bang Won became King Taejong - a tyrant where he ruled mercilessly and even his son Sejong is afraid of him. To hate and not to hate? Of course we couldn't hate Lee Bang Won in Six Flying Dragons because he is played by Yoo Ah In and he's got the hot shots for every female fan out there! LOL!

Bang Won doesn't seem to yield any swords or shot many fighting scenes as much as Bang Ji or Moo Hyul since he's the Master of the household. Ah before we forget, don't we all love Minister Ha Ryun with his Chinese translating? His role appears to be shoddy and suspicious at the start but now he's like a little rabbit whose eyes grew big in shock whenever Bang Won does something real ridiculous. And how we feel father-son relationship when Lee Seong Gye relies and adores the little Bang Won when he was the youngest among his brothers. Come to think of it, since Lee's 2nd wife came in with 2 other sons, things just changed dramatically. Pfft! 

Don't we love all the scenes where Bang Won puts his brotherhood loyalty when he was with Young Gyu- his faithful follower & Hyung who got rid off of Teacher Po Eun and Moo Hyul who decided to follow him wherever he goes after sworn to become best swordsman. Nevertheless his love for Boon Yi is just another piece of eye-candy for us. Though there were not many romantic scenes between the two of them, we know that in history Boon Yi is fictional and in fact Lady Min Da Kyung (later becomes Queen Won Gyeong) plays the more important role in establishing Bang Won to the throne. 

Well, not long to go - around another 4 weeks before we wrap off Six Flying Dragons. I can't wait to see how Bang Won comes back to his country with glory, takes back Moo Hyul from Zhu Di, sets his father on anger again after the First Strife of Princes war to wiping out Jeong Do Jeon. Let's keep our fingers crossed until we see the finale... :D
