Chunlimps away, like a wounded bear looking for a place to die. Jin Ju slowly walks out in front of him, looking behind her. He smiles to see her, and she quietly tells him to go back. However, they are surrounded by troops with Un and Hong there as well. The score shifts to the slow piano version of the theme song.
Back at the Assassins HQ, an underling brings in Jang Tae San and Baek Myun Young, two of the fighters from the list who Chun had fought and beaten. Un blindfolds himself and takes them both on. He wins handily and also wins their respect. He then enlists their help.
Dong Soo is eating a meal and sketching fighting techniques when he is rudely interrupted by another challenger who smashes his table with a huge blade. Dong Soo sighs and after insulting the oversized weapon, he easily disarms the guy with his book and a few kicks. And then he calmly asks for another meal.
As they happily sit and drink, Dong Soo asks what they are really there for. Cho Rip tells him that a few weeks earlier a mudang gave a prophecy that has rattled the court. And we see that the mudang was visited by the Hongs, when she gave the prophecy that the Prince had to die for the country to prosper. Lord Hong handed her a sack of money and told her that her prophecy had better not change, even with a sword to her neck.
Dong Soo asks what he can do about any of that. Not much, but it turns out that a fight club/gambling hall has opened in town. Anyone can fight, and lots of money is being wagered. Among the fighters is Jin Ju, wearing a Phantom of the Opera half mask, getting in a return to some badassery.
Next, Dae Ung is enjoying a meal of chicken without apparently bothering to cook it. He starts trying to think of ways to get rid of Dong Soo. He still has the payment he got from Lord Hong for helping to take out Chun and seems to have a plan in mind.
In the palace, the King is recovering from his cold, as the Queen pounds home the prophecy while being overly solicitous. She meets with her father and Lord Hong and reports that the King is getting spooked, but the rest of their plan needs to be worked out in detail.
Dong Soo is welcomed home, and hears from Sa Mo that Jin Ju has been going down to the fight club. Ji Sun takes him to see it. Curiously, the guy selling tickets to the place is Dae Ung. Also in attendance are Hong1 and Hong2.
They review the martial arts book Dong Soo has been working on, and Sa Mo tells him that he reminds him of Gwang Taek more and more. Dong Soo says the book should be used for the army as a training manual, as the Prince wants.
Hong1 reports back to his father that Dong Soo has shown up at the club, but he tells them it was to be expected, and to keep to their plan. The officials who got the seals start showing up to ask Hong what the heck he meant by testing them. He tells them that it was a command of the Queen, because the King has suggested a regency period for the Prince.
That place, of course, is the fight club. Although Dong Soo tries to dissuade her from fighting, she brings Dong Soo along to show him around some more. Inside, Tae San is making short work of another fighter.
But I digress. It was a great, but bittersweet episode. I was happy (for lack of a better term) that Cheon did not need to crawl under a bush and die alone, which is what I feared after him being previously wounded by both Woon-ah and Dong Soo. That would not sit right for such a deeply-nuanced character. Best part was the calm and collected way Dong Soo asked for another set table after seeing his first meal be hacked to bits. Too cool.
In a way I like this drama but it could have been epic because the main actors are really good (only one exception being the Ji sun), but it felt like writing faltered a bit. It feels like writers catered to the viewers way too much towards the end or either that they wrote themselves in to a corner.
I liked that even though jerky-jerk Dae-ung fired the final blow, it took SO many people to finally bring down Chun. Not one person could take credit for his death as he was that strong of a life force.
He died powerfully.
The guards start to arrive with troops and find Cho Rip. It seems that the mountain boys had reported to the Prince that Cho Rip had gone out to meet Un, and Dong Soo had followed. Their orders were that if Cho Rip was harmed, they were to kill Un.
Ji Sun goes through the market buying ginseng and is met by Dong Soo on horseback. As they ride off, again they see a group of boys play swordfighting. The one who had his rear handed to him tells Dong Soo that his father told him not to give up, which Dong Soo remembers saying about fighting Un. He asks the boy if he knows what martial arts is. Dong Soo tells him that it truly means saving a friend, people or a country. The boy asks if Dong Soo will teach him, and Dong Soo agrees.
Yoon Ji Min as Ji was a quiet and yet kickass character who was also great to watch. Ji Chang Wook and also Yeo Jin Goo as young Dong Soo were quite good, and JCW really had to go from highs to lows and everything in between, and ended up being fun to watch as well. Yoo Seung Ho started slowly as Un, but seemed to grow in to the role more, until finally he was owning it. Yoon So Yi overdid it a bit in her first episodes as Jin Ju but settled in as well, especially after the writers suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be kickass too.
For the low notes, well, obviously I have issues with the ending. But I also blame the extension in part for messing up what was clearly the planned the arc of the show with additional padding and nonsense. Whoever made the choice of obsessive and excessive use of flashbacks needs to go back to directing school.
It also became clear that in the later episodes, that the quality of production suffered somewhat in some continuity issues and some sloppiness in the staging of action scenes. Although they were not quite shooting live, they were clearly more pressed for time than in the earliest episodes when the production values were higher.
However, in terms of wanting a rollicking yarn that you can park your brains to watch? In that, Warrior Baek Dong Soo succeeded for most of the series. If you happen to like swashbuckling stories with handsome and pretty men, well then, this fits the bill. I happen to be of the ilk and age where I was happy to sit back and watch Choi Min Soo. Other, possibly younger, folk might say the same of Ji Chang Wook and Yoo Seung Ho.
Earlier this year, Thundie asked what made a drama a good drama. I opined, more or less, that I thought a good drama did what it set out to do. A great drama did that and more. An okay drama had some problems somewhere, say in acting or writing. A bad drama had some serious problems, and the worst dramas were ones that could have been either good or great but for some reason went horribly wrong somewhere.
