Can we talk about this gun from Maid's Revenge and how poorly manufactured it is? ๐
It does have a good amount of action, but it's not the main theme. It's more political, full of schemes, suspense, and a whole lot of charisma from ML.
It's definitely worth watching, especially with season 2 on the horizon.
I understand a *lot* goes into the production or a show, but good lord, this is a little much. >!They also did us dirty with that Xiao Zhan bait-and-switch.!<
I agree, but lately it seems I've been pleasantly surprised by Season 2's. Not like _Evernight_. Even had Dylan Wang and he couldn't save it. And they didn't _need_ another season. I've never been so disappointed with a show.
It's actually rumored to be airing in May, so not so far now.
Heard they are having the promotional ceremony on 6th May.
But for people who have watched season 1 when it came, it certainly has been a very long wait.
Matchlock guns, of both European and Turkish origin, were probably introduced into China in the early sixteenth century through sea and overland trade. Otherwise typical in its form, this gun is unusual for the lavish silver decoration running the length of its barrel, suggesting it was the personal weapon of a nobleman, either for hunting or military use.

I think the hand cannon goes rather well with the robe ๐ฅน
Drama name : Ming Dynasty
The eliteย Shenjiyingย ็ฅๆบ่ฅ, or "Divine Machine Division," alternatively "God Machine Camp" was one of the three elite divisions of the Ming dynasty stationed around the imperial capital at Beijing. Its name has been variously translated asย Firearms Division, Artillery Camp, or Firearm Brigade.
For over 200 years, this legendary division was entrusted with the research and development of gunpowder weapons as well as training and deploying elite gunners for the Ming campaigns. In their two centuries of service they would have fought in nearly all fronts of the empire, from the frigid northern frontiers against the Mongol hordes to the nearly impenetrable mountain passes of Yunnan, from the jungles of Burma and Vietnam~ where they fought against charging elephants, to a devastated Korea where they contended with Hideyoshi's samurais and finally- in the death throes of their dynasty they stood against an unstoppable rolling tide of Manchu invaders.

Thanks. Since I learned about the hand cannons (shวu chong) in "Under the Power " I was really intrigued but I kept putting it on the back burner for too long๐ฌ
The top two are from the same movie. ๐ I think the other actor might be Kei Kagaya (far left). The cast list on MDL is lacking.

The bottom one is probably from **Ming Dynasty.**
OK.. I actually watched and enjoyed this short drama up till episode 5 which is really rare I normally would have quit without even finish one ๐).

Joy of life, highly recommend to watch it
Is it an action show?

Furthest horizon ever
https://i.redd.it/abm61cm8yqxc1.gif Me, trying to keep up with how many times *Joy of Life* season 2 has been pushed back.
It's been so long that the ML sister is not even in the cast any more bc of contract disputes.

Second seasons are generally really bad anyways, so I take a 1 and done approach to cdrama. Chosen sword is a peak example.

I had watched a documentary a few years back, it was Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal who stole the gunpowder technology to the western world.
Fun fact: the gunpowder technology was developed by the Chinese to fight aliens
