Rewatched all of 50 episodes of NHK's Taiga Drama "Taira no Kiyomori"



A small review here...
Watching this show again makes me realize that country-building needs more than 1 lifetime to happen, if it's done based on one person's sole power, it simply won't last long no matter the power, wealth, and strength.

Also when you get to a certain age during the process, stubbornness, past trauma and an inability to open up catch up to you. That makes you repeat past mistakes. Kiyomori here didn't do much to build Japan, he just replaced the Fujiwara clan with the Heike. The whole thing with the trade with the Chinese's Song Dynasty seems to have gone on the back burner while he satisfies his greed, but the creation of that trade was the one thing differentiating the Taira.

The lesson here: to achieve your true goal, you need to have someone to stop you, to overpower you when you derail.

And Kiyomori's not the only one like that in that era.
Go-Shirakawa Ten'nō (Emperor) is no different, and Yositomo as well. Yoritomo will follow suit and cause the end of the Genji. Ironic of how it wasn't the Heike that caused the end to the Genji but their own leader. The Hojo clan aren't any better. Shigemori is the only one that's different!

True Crime: smugshot

 

[Captain Tired]

Was re-watching the first series of American Crime Story after learning of OJ's death.

And then I remembered that I never actually watched the Versace series, and so I paused my re-watch of The People vs OJ in favour of watching that for the first time. It was pretty damn good. Although, the lack of detail in comparison to the OJ case allowed for Murphy to indulge in some of his more corny and insufferably melodramatic inclinations as a creator. But despite that, it was a great series.

I've loved pretty much everything Murphy has done. The OJ and Dahmer series might be the two best.
