a few words

At first, I watched it for Jonathan, but in the end I was watching Bishop Wolsey completely. Jonathan's Henry VIII was not likable, and maybe he didn't restore history. He felt that his Henry VIII had completely turned into a power-hungry man. And the monarch driven by beauty, and it is not wise to listen to slander, but the historical Henry VIII is not so. Bishop Sam Neill does a great job, and Bishop has insight from the very beginning, especially when he advised Thomas More that "the king should be told what to do, not what he can do" because "once the lion knows what he is capable of, Our destiny is in danger.” This is what Thomas finally realized. However, although he knew it in his heart, the bishop was not spared in the end. After Thomas was promoted, he refused to accept Henry VIII. He was sent to the guillotine for the Reformation, which was foreshadowed when Thomas and Henry discussed the book Utopia in the first few episodes of the first season.

As an idol drama, this drama is eye-catching enough. At first, I went to see Yan. However, after seeing it, I wanted to explore this history. Yan seems to have become less important, so I will watch it. Disappointed after the first season.
