The history of Shilla portrayed well in this drama with interesting story line. Here few Mishil's quotes that can motivate and implemented in our daily lives.
PEOPLE
Sire, Did you say they who
gain the hearts of people... will upon creation?! That with people by their
side, they will rule above all ages to come?! People?! take a look, Sire!
These are my people! Not yours but Mishils, my people! And... it is
now, Mishils time to rule."
TIME
So i thought, that
time would aid my cause. But, looking back... Time
holds no keeper.
Yook Cham Gor Dan
It means " Give up my skin in order to break
the enemy's bone". What does that martial arts philosophy have to do
with this situation?
Mishil: What is it only limited in Martial Arts? Both politics and the military also have bone and skin. General Kim that was sent to Ah Mak Fortress ... is the very skin.

PEOPLE ARE EVIL
"There is nothing to be proud of wrong doing..."
It's too naive just being good..." "Therefore it is acceptable to be
'evil'? " That's right Princess Cheon myeong is good... and I am
"evil". By the way... In this book, it is said that...just being good
and not being "evil" doesn't give the person the right to sit on the
king's. That is how it was written. So, why you are serving Cheonmyeong, who is
always "good"? Do you believe that people are good as Cheonmyeong? No
way... Not at all! People, human beings in general are "evil" by
nature!
When Leader listens
Once he starts to listen, then
he will get an earful requests. Do this, do that...And if all the request are
met, then do you think it will ever end? Nope, he will never see the end of it.
However he may rule, he'll never be able
to completely satisfy or fulfill a human beings tendency for greed. And
yet... those who are clueless can easily utter words about Mishil being evil.
Heaven’s Will
Yushin Rang, although, a man's
strength may appear great. But a man cannot survive on his won strength alone. One needs a little bit... of
Heaven's will.
Blood and Nation.
They are places drenched in my own blood. The compeers I cherished, the Hwarang...
and troops. There is still
lie their remains, not even granted an honorable burial. That is Shilla! The
frontier land of this great nation King Jinheung and I conquered! Heavenly
Kingdom... Ruler?! And what would you know? Just as my heart was filled with
devotion for Sadaham. I cherished this nation with all my heart. So fervently I
cherished it, I merely wanted to possess it.
Fighting
While you still can fight,
fighting is all you need to do.
And when you no longer can, protecting it you
must, when you can no longer protect it, retreat is all it takes.
And when retreat is not an option, surrender is the next best decision,
Should surrender prove impossible, should surrender prove impossible...
And when retreat is not an option, surrender is the next best decision,
Should surrender prove impossible, should surrender prove impossible...
On that day, demise
shall be your best compeer,.
