She is very respectful and it's hard to explain the levels of honorifics in Korean.How Captain Ri's parents are shocked to find out who Se-ri is, and that she and Captain Ri love each other.How Captain Ri's men spread the rumor about who Captain Ri's father is, and this leads the Senior Colonel to release him from the detention center.How Captain Ri works out that his father, General Ri, is probably the one who had Se-ri taken.How Captain Ri and Se-ri discover that they encountered each other in Switzerland and Jeong Hyeok's Song For My Brother gave Se-ri hope and he ultimately saved her life. This revelation scene was exquisitely filmed and edited.How Cho Cheol Gang convinced the Military Director to have the Ri residence searched because he thinks Se-ri is hiding there. The search ultimately turns up nothing because Captain Ri and his men did an emergency switch at the DMZ.Se-ri's mom and sisters-in-law visit Se-ri's apartment.

Today, we'll be discussing Episodes 9 and 10 of Queen of Tears, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Kim Ji-won as Hong Hae-in, Kim Soo-hyun as Baek Hyun-woo, Park Sung-hoon as Yoon Eun-Seong, Kwak Dong-Yeon as Hong Soo-cheol, and Lee Joo-bin as Cheon Da-Hye. We are joined by Ernabel Demillo, a frequent guest on K Drama Chat and Department Chair of the Communication and Media Culture Department at Saint Peter's University and host of the Emmy-award winning "Asian American Life" show on CUNY-TV. We discuss:The song we feature during the recap: Fallin' by Isaac Hong.Queen of Tears is now the second most popular K Drama of all time on tvN, after Crash Landing on You; both shows are written by Park Ji-eun.tvN has announced two extra episodes at the end of Queen of Tears; what will the episodes be about? Kim Soo-hyun has been nominated for Best Actor in the Baeksang Awards; we feel that Kim Ji-won, Han So-hee, Park Seo-joon, and Kim Tae-ri were snubbed.The Hong family is in a terrible situation. They've been locked out of their house, they don't have cars, their credit cards have been canceled, they've lost control of their company, and they're lost their jobs.The only people who take them in are Hyun-woo and his family.The Hong family is so unaccustomed to hardship and they're miserable in Yongdu-ri.There is such a contrast between the two families in the way they treat each other.There is a huge contrast between the two mothers in the way they treat Hae-in.Both dads are having an identity crisis: they have lost their jobs and purpose.Hyun-woo and Hae-in are driving us crazy because they won't communicate with each other! We think their lack of communication stems from the time Hae-in emptied the nursery and Hyun-woo left the marital bedroom. When this happened, they stopped talking to each other and then their pride wouldn't let them ask the other back into the bedroom.Hyun-woo and Hae-in kept missing opportunities to patch up their relationship, including when Hae-in overheard Hyun-woo talking about wanting to be by her side, when Hyun-woo came home all beat up, and when Hae-in realized the pink MP3 player was hers.There are many in Korea who think the story of Hae-in and Hyun-woo is based on the true story of the granddaughter of the Samsung chaebol who married an ordinary staffer. In 1999, Samsung heiress Lee Boo Jin married Lim Woo Jae.Hyun-woo does a great job of convincing David Yoon that he doesn't know where Hae-in is, even though he did pick them up in a van.The reference to Prince Sado, who was the father of the prince Yi San in Red Sleeve, and who later became King Jeongjo.Instead, Hyun-woo is investigating the land broker, the owner of the data restoration company, the failed investment fund, and the location of the Chairman. Hyun-woo convinced the deceived farmers to sue the land broker, which meant the land broker couldn't leave the country for his honeymoon. Later, the land broker and his thugs try to beat up Hyun-woo, who manages to defend himself ably because he was a champion boxer in his youth.Our crazy predictions for this show:Hyun-woo is going to try and prove that the power of attorney that Moh Sul-hee signed is invalid because it's a forgery, she's not really Moh Sul-hee!Hyun-woo's brother, Baek Hyun-tae, is going to be important because he knows a lot about stocks and previously owned Queen Group stock.Beom-seuk, the Chairman's estranged son, will have some insight into the embezzlement that could save the Chairman, or the person who knows where the secret fund is.Cheon Da-hye, Soo-cheol's wife, will come back and turn on David Yoon.Moh Sul-hee and David Yoon are now at odds with each other because David Yoon didn't want the Hong family banished. David Yoon wants to be with Hae-in.We speculate about why David Yoon is so obsessed with Hae-in.Until the very end, Hyun-woo is in the dark about Hae-in's feelings towards him. He thinks she hates him because he abandoned and deceived her.We feel so sorry for Soo-cheol, who now knows that everything about his wife was fake. She even told him that their son is not his biological son.It looks like Beom-ja will have a romance with the village marriage counselor, who looks like Leslie Cheung. Leslie Cheung is a debonair Hong Kong singer and actor. This prediction came from Laurel, one of our listeners!The theme of regret in this show. Hyun-woo, Hae-in and Beom-ja all express regrets over their actions.Hae-in is so brave when she reveals during the press conference that David Yoon threatened her. In this instance, Hyun-woo finally learns that Hae-in still cares for him.The amazing acting with their eyes by Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won.The K Drama elements we see in this episode, including: all the crying, all the food, all the drinking, the Trip and Catch, the Bulgari Serpenti necklace that Moh Sul-hee wore, and the Subway scene!Ernabel's recent trip to South Korea with a professor from her school who used to be a police chief in South Korea.The shows we're watching now: Ernabel is watching Marry My Husband, Sung Hee is watching Doctor Slump, and Joanna is watching Captivating the King.ReferencesA sneak peak into the life and work of South Korean singer Isaac HongFallin' by Isaac Hong on YouTubeThe Uncanny Similarities “Queen Of Tears” Bears With A Real-life Heiress StoryPodcast episode with Dan Pink on Brene Brown's show about the Power of RegretLeslie Cheung on WikipediaPodcast episode with Brene Brown and Dan Pink on the Power of Regret

The Red Sleeve is a story of a woman's wish to belong to herself and the man who couldn't let her go. It's also about a king who couldn't trust his grandson and a crown prince who survived against all odds so he could some day be a good ruler to his people.

Continuing our discussion on The Red Sleeve: The King's women. That is the life of a palace court lady. Not allowed to live by your own rules because you belong to the King. As a child, Sung Deok-Im witnessed the funeral of a royal concubine that was favoured by the King and was told, that is the dream of any Court Lady to have the honour of being chosen as a royal concubine. But Deok Im wants to live her life freely, something that will not be possible as a concubine. Still holding onto her dreams and aspirations, she happens to meet Crown Prince Yi San, at first unbeknownst to her and slowly begins to grow affection towards him while he quickly falls in love with her. The crown prince eventually becomes King Jeongjo and now desires Sung Deok-Im to become his concubine, but she refuses. Did I mention how dangerous the palace is for a court lady favoured by a King with enemies and other wives? She is now having to choose to hold onto her sense of freedom and her red sleeves or give her heart to a King who cannot truly give her all of his heart back. *****Disclaimer***** The thoughts and ideas expressed in this podcast are designed to widen the reach of the KDrama phenomenon.

This episode is our final episode talking about The Red Sleeve. It's crazy to think we ended up having four parts for one show. There is just so much to this show that one or two parts wouldn't have been anywhere near enough. In this episode we talk about the final two episodes and there was so much to go over just in these two episodes. We talk about our thoughts on the plot, characters, relationship, and ending. This is an amazing show and we're not sure if our episodes talking about do it justice. We really liked watching this show and we hope you enjoy our rambling about it.
In this episode of Seoul Patch Reviews, Kev tells Jack about the historical Korean drama The Red Sleeve.

The Apache rode until sunset. Then they rode until sunrise. They felt the wind through their hair and the horses pounding the earth, but all they heard was *the song*. In the beginning, they had thought Goyaate had sung the song and they had only kept pace with it. Then they opened their throats and came to believe that they too sang the song. But after many hours, when exhaustion had stripped away all illusion, they realized that the song was singing all of them, and they were carried by the magic of it, out of themselves, across the land, without hunger, thirst, or fatigue.They came to the middle of the emptiness where the color had leached away from the grass and the wind had forgotten its name. There in the center was nothing. And in the center of nothing was No One.No One saw Goyaate and jumped with the surprise of seeing something in the emptiness. Then he remembered being human and raised his hand in greeting. The men and the horses fell exhausted and into a deep, dreamless sleep. All but Goyaate. He approached No One and sat with him by the fire that No One did not have. Goyaate told No One of all the things that the Apache did not have. Lands of their own, horses, great herds of beef. He spoke of the loved ones who had been murdered by the white man, and the children who had not been born because there had been no mothers to bear them. He spoke of the stories that had not been told and the laughter that had not been laughed. And with each of these things that weren’t No One nodded in understanding.And when he was done listing the things that had been taken, the things that had been lost, and the things that would never be, Goyaate named Hope and he named The Future. No One looked away, because Goyaate had listed all of the things the Apache did not have and there was only nothing left to say. Only then in that empty place did the mighty Goyaate dare to speak of the thing he had a vision of — of peering through a hole in the nothing that led to another world. One where the white man could not follow and would never come. He said that, if it existed, then No One must surely know about it. And if there was a place for an emptiness that contained another world then surely it would be here.No One smiled and shook his head slowly. No One knew of such a hole. He told Goyaate of the dangers of such a passage. Of how it could be like one of the lines that the white man used to catch fish from the water. A hook dangling on the end, hidden by bait, floating its way through Goyaate’s dreams. No One could know for sure that it was a trap, but he knew that such a passage across the borders between worlds couldn't be opened just from one side. Someone was calling to this world and even with greatest of visions and the strongest of magics it would be dangerous to answer. Goyaate laughed bitterly and said, "dying there can only be as bad as dying here.No One said nothing. Then he said one thing. From that one thing Goyaate was able to understand how the ceremony was to be performed and where and how he might find the place for such a rite. Goyaate smiled and said, “That is strange, I…"No One asked him to finish his sentence."It is easier than I thought.""Most things are when you know how."Goyaate nodded and turned and looked at his men and their horses, lying on the ground as if dead. No One said, “You have come a long way, you should rest." Then No One touched Goyaate on the shoulder and the emptiness rose up within him and fell into a deep sleep.Who could say how long they slept, or if time even passed in that lack of a place. But after what seemed like a long time, the creatures rose from their slumber. Man and horse alike were amazed to find that they were not thirsty or hungry or even sore after the ride.When several of them started wondering from where they might find something to make a fire, Goyaate said, “We should not waste this gift." Then he mounted his horse and rode on.The next day, Goyaate’s magic deserted him. Fatigue fell on the men and horses as if all the miles they had traveled had been saved up for them until now. No man would stay stop, but in their hearts, they longed for rest. Soon they thought, one of the horses would drop dead and they would be forced to stop. They finally came to a place they recognized. Off to the right was the Gila forest and in front of them were the Chiricahua mountains and a place called Apache Spring where most of them had once surrendered. Red Sleeve, the oldest and the worst for wear among all of them, spurred his tired horse next to Goyaate. The War Chief looked not at his men, but only had eyes for the horizon. Before Red Sleeve could speak, Goyaate said, “We will rest here until nightfall. Then we will ride on by the light of the moon. We are in the death grounds and there will be no more rest after this. That night they entered the mountains When the way became steep, they dismounted and led the animals. The horses were sure of foot but the Apache wanted no chance of dislodging a rock and having its rattle down the mountainside, betray them to distant scouts. Goyaate was certain that Fort Bowie knew nothing of their escape from the Fort Sill reservation. What scout could ride faster than they had ridden, hypnotized by the sacred trance of War? But he was mistaken. The telegraph was faster than any trance.At first light, they were spotted by scouts from the garrison at Fort Bowie. They heard a bugle echoing throughout the mountains and knew that the fight was coming to them. Now they made brave noises, speaking boastful words they hoped would distract them from fear. Among the chatter, Red Sleeve spoke the truth of his heart to Goaayte. “I do not want to be twice defeated in the same place." Goyaate looked up sharply as one whose mind was far away, thinking of something else. He shook his head and said, “We will not be defeated. Our place is further on. You will see."And they rode on. Goyaate put out no scouts and made no effort to hide their tracks in the Apache way. He just rode. This time there was no song. No surge of hope and possibility. They rode through the mountains driven by the threat of the cavalry behind them. A dark muttering went through the men. Perhaps Goyaate had spent the last of his power back on the plain and now they followed an old man to their deaths.It did not matter. There was nowhere else to go. The trail they were on took but one path through the mountains. A few young strong Braves might climb the cliffs here, hold off the army with rifles for hours, maybe days in this narrow pass. But they had no young strong Braves anymore. They came out from the cliffs. And in front of them opened up all of the Arizona territory. From this height, it seemed that they could see all the way to Mexico. There was nowhere to run. And nowhere to hide. "We should turn and fight," said one of the men more from fear than from thirst for blood."This would be a stupid death," muttered another.Red Sleeve said, “What say you War Chief?"But Goyaate did not answer. "We should fight them in the narrow place, back there, better odds that way,” said Red Sleeve.A pistol shot sounded from the right. There, a scout, atop the ridge. The scout fired his pistol into the air again and again in excitement. He could see the outcome. Any man could see they had nowhere to run. All eyes turned to Goyaate. What was the great War Chief’s plan? He opened his mouth, and all were eager for the order, but what came out was a noise that was so like a sob, no one knew what to do. Was the War Chief crying?The sound from Goyaate’s throat did not stop. He sang it on the exhale and he sang it on the inhale. The men all looked to Red Sleeve and he moved to speak to Goyaate once again. To tell him what they all felt in their hearts. That this death would be enough. Here would trap the cavalry in the pass. Here they would sell their lives dearly. He opened his mouth to tell his old friend that this was a good day to die.But when he came up beside the War Chief he saw that the man’s eyes were rolled back into his head and nothing showed but the whites. Goyaate’s chant grew louder and louder. It grew from a sob into an angry cry. The hair stood up on Red Sleeve’s arms and he felt a hot wind come up from the valley. The light turned blood red. He heard a growling, roaring, splitting noise as if the earth itself was cracking open but somehow the sound was coming from Goyaate. He heard the cries of the men behind and turned to see the cavalry, galloping out of the pass, drawing sabers. A bugler sounded the charge. But the Apache were not looking back at the cavalry. They were looking down in the valley. He saw a shadow fall across the faces of the Apache and turned to see a wall of sand as tall as the sky hurtling towards them.Goyaate, come back at last, cried “Ride, RIDE!” And he spurred his horse down the slope and into the oncoming dust storm. With a war cry, Red Sleeve followed.They should have died. They should have died many times before this mad ride out of the mountains, but for certain they should have died racing blind down that hill into the dying sun and the devouring storm.After a time, the hill Red Sleeve could not see beneath him became the plain he could not see beneath him and the panic of his horse became a walk. The sun set and the wind died, but the dust hung in the sky, suspended now in the still, desert air. Red Sleeve saw no one. He was all alone in the darkness.He heard a faint drumbeat, far off. Then saw a flash of light, diffused by the dust. Having no other landmark, he aimed his lathered, exhausted horse towards it. Then another beat, louder, followed by another flash. The drumbeat became a regular pulse. He was so lost and exhausted that he cared not that everyone on the plain, friend or foe, would head to the same place. But surely the cavalry would not have followed them into such madness? Red Sleeve wondered if anyone else was still alive. Boom. Boom. Boom.As he drew closer, the frequency of the drum increased and the light became more brilliant. He came to a flat place with a large saguaro after one side. He saw shadowy figures each revealed as a patch of darkness against the light. From the way they squatted, he could see that they were Apache. In the center of them, a man was striking the ground with his palm, raising his hand high and dropping it to the earth again and again. Each time he hit the ground with greater force than the last. And when he struck the ground a brilliant blue light exploded outward.Red Sleeve got off his horse and led it towards the circle of men.Goyaate raised his voice in a cry, not missing a beat as he pounded the earth. His voice came as if he were all around them and was a cry such as Red Sleeve had never heard before. And when the War Chief brought his hand down the next time, the blue light became everything. They left and took the desert with them.For the first mile, Archie kept looking over his shoulder to check the connections between the two wagons. After a particularly rough jolt, he handed the reins to Jane and climbed back to inspect his handiwork. But that which Archie had joined, it seems no bump would put asunder. Cantering along behind the unruly two-wagon rig, MacAllister said, "as much as it pains me to say it, I dinna think your cinch will fail.”The rugged and forbidding landscape took on a magical aspect in the moonlight, and the yapping and howling of coyotes in the distance gave the journey a peaceful air.After a time Jane said softly, "I don't care what you say, Mr. Croryton. I believe you are a prince."Archie laughed out loud."See, you are," said Jane."I most certainly am not," said Archie.“Well maybe. I mean if you were a prince, then you wouldn't be so ignoble as to take money away from the commoners like MacAllister and me.""I dare say that is because you have had no experience with royalty. Where do you think all these riches come from? From the labor of peasants, my dear." He gave her a friendly poke when he said the word "peasants."Jane's face warped into a scowl that made Archie grateful she did not have a bullwhip close to hand. She said, "that is why this new nation has dispensed with kings and princes and such wickedness has that. We have no parasites here.""That is just a strength of youth, Miss Siskin. Give it enough time and your ideal will become just as corrupt as anyone else’s. But were I a prince, traveling incognito, I would trust you with my secret before anyone else."Jane smiled and they rode on, listening to the clanking of the wagon. Then Jane leaned over and whispered, "I knew it."They brought the contraption through the dry wash with less trouble than Archie expected. It made the passage so well that he even thought of designing a six-wheeled wagon, with three independent segments, for rugged terrain. As they pulled into the yard with the rest of the freight, Archie heard drunken snoring but saw no people. Then he realized that the Teamsters were sleeping beneath their wagons the same as they had on the road. MacAllister handed over the reins to Archie's horse and a purse of coin, muttering something about “fair and square.” Then he headed off to his own bedroll.He had wisdom enough not to interfere with whatever romance or disaster was brewing between his boss and her client. And, on that account, he wasn't sure who he'd be saving from whom. Archie walked Jane to her room in the Morning Star hotel, which thankfully, was a separate building from the saloon, where the piano music and the party was still going strong.Jane turned outside her door and said, “You should treat me with respect. You might not be a Prince, but they call me the Mule Queen. Not to my face, but still.”"Oh, indeed, Boudicca of the West.""Who is that?""A Pictish queen who fought the Romans,” Archie said with a smile. “and almost won.”Jane leaned in and kissed him, long and hard. And when she pulled back she said, “A prince. I knew it. And don’t forget… I outrank you.” Then she closed the door without saying goodnight. Virgil let his horses follow the road to Grantham at a walk as he nodded off in the wagon seat. At first, he was glad of not staying in Bisbee, but as the sun went down and the moon had risen, he questioned the wisdom of his choice. He was tired, bone-tired, and between himself, the horses, and the moonlit road he had to admit he wasn't as young as he used to be. How many years had it been since he fired a gun? Or even thought of killing a man, let alone… It wasn't a pang of conscience – not exactly – but a fear that the old days had come again. A fear that the old days were all there was and his time with Laura and the children had been the exception a lull in the storm of his life. It was fear that the truth of things was war, bloodshed, stupidity, and struggle. That love counted for nothing in the face of might. That every man’s strength faded sooner or later, removing the possibility of defeating one's enemies and leaving, only the question of how bravely one might face the end. What he had done to those Chiracahua today – they had deserved it, surely — and he had done it save lives, but it wasn't a thing that he ever wanted his son Mack to know how to do. But maybe Mack needed to know. As he jolted along with the ruts in the road, Virgil came to grips with the fact that he would not always be there to protect his family, and perhaps he had not done enough to prepare them.And if he did not prepare them, who would protect him in his old age? He had planned on stopping at the swing station and sleeping where he could find a place, maybe under the wagon. But his thoughts gave him such urgency that in the early morning hours he found himself getting a second wind. He did not drive the horses as much as he could. It has been a long day for them as well and they were good horses that deserved better than this treatment. So he rolled along, an old man in his wagon full of goods.He came down into the open valley and did not look closely at the bodies of the dead men and horses. In the moonlight even not looking revealed that the buzzards had been at them. When he had passed he had to fight the foolish urge to look back and make sure that the men he had killed were not rising from the ground and following him in pursuit of vengeance. It was foolishness whispered to scare children. If such things existed, he would've seen them during the war, in Kansas, or in the terrible aftermath of Chickamauga. After Chickamauga, he had awakened in a pile of bodies, suffocating. He had to fight his way through the dead to return to the world of the living. When he returned to his unit, some days later, he found out that it had been decided — although he knew not how it could be — that the Confederacy had won a great victory. Virgil decided that if that was victory, then the war between the states wasn't worth winning. He deserted and vowed to leave violence behind him. Yes, here he was, all these years later, vowing the very same thing. In the end, perhaps the end of violence was death and he wasn't ready for that yet. Two miles outside Grantham he saw a flash of blue light in the sky. At first, he thought it might be lightning, but there had been no thunder. Then he saw it again and a boom followed with it. He wondered if the dry wash might have water in it by the time he got to town.Then the blue light filled the sky to the northeast with an eerie glow that rose in intensity, making a mockery of the night. He heard thunder roaring so loud it was as if Giants were shouting in a language he did not understand.Then, like the surf after the breaking of a wave, the light crested and pulled back in upon itself, wrapping the world in silence and darkness once again.There was a cool, moist wind filled with strange smells. And then nothing.For a time he drove the wagon on through darkness mad darker from this interlude of light. The moon started to dip below the horizon behind him, but before it disappeared completely it was overpowered by the dawn. The sun blinded him as he came over the rise and down the hill to the wash on the west side of town. He tried for a glimpse of home through the brilliant sun but found he couldn’t squint enough against the light to see anything other than the road in front of him. It was only when he came up out of the wash that he realized the town was gone. No road. No buildings, not even the dirt was the same. He jumped off the wagon and felt the strange, tubular grass crunch beneath his feet. He left the horses to graze on this strange prairie and stumbled towards the sun. There was the hill of the Morning Star Mine, but no mine. The slope was covered in this same strange grass. Where DuMont’s pink house had been, there were now trees unlike any he had seen before; long, spindly trunks ending in balls of leafy green. And where his store had been there was nothing but the strange grass and the bitter smell it release as he crushed it beneath his boot heels. He turned once, calling out, “Hello!” There was no answer. Somehow, they were all gone.That’s the end of Part One of A Town Called Nowhere. The story will continue on March 11th.

Have a listen as I parse through a list of the forthcoming dramas and decide with me what we should be excited for in the next few weeks!

He called them with the same magic that brings the fog in the morning or a thunderstorm on a hot summer afternoon. They came from the reservation. They came from hiding places deep in canyons or high in mountains. They came because he was the War Chief. and before they passed from the world, they wanted to go on one last raid. They were the moisture in the earth or the charge in the sky before a storm. They came because they wanted to be released. At Fort Sill, he was forced to live in a canvas tent, because they would not allow him to build a wikiup. Many of the people had moved into poorly built houses that the Indian agents had provided for them. As if going tame would save them. As if it would let them forget how the white man had hunted them, driven them from their homes, crushed them in a war without honor or skill or bravery. Just a relentless press of men and weapons devoid of cunning.No one would ever sing songs about how the cavalry defeated the Indians. It was a sad, shameful thing. But Goyaate knew that as long as men told tales of battle they would recount what he and his warriors had done. Still, they had lost. And now the tribes were learning to wear the white man’s clothes and sleep in the same ugly place for year after year. An Apache was meant to wander in mountains and his soul died when he didn't.In twos and threes they had come, through the early spring. Braves he knew brought with them younger men he didn't. In this way had come Black Knife, Loco, Delgado, Coleto and Ponce. When they squatted they did not talk of the ones who did not come or the ones who would never raid again because they had ridden on into the unknown. They spoke of the weather and what they had heard from travelers, of the hope that the Buffalo would return and the knowledge that they would not.Vittorio told him of a fine rifle he had hidden away from the soldiers and how good it was to hunt with. Little Delgatito complained about his wives. At the end, they all had the same question: when are we leaving? To them Goyaate said, “I think I will stay a little bit longer.” To this each man answered. “Then I will stay a little longer too.” And by this, he knew they were with him. Rumors spread among the people. But this was always the way with people who stay in one place. They grow weak and prone to gossip and other evils. The rumors even made their way to Major Thomason. So he told Captain Evans, to go and speak with Goyaate and learn his mind. Captain Evans was eager. He had come west only after all the fighting was over, so he did not know who he was talking to. He had heard the stories about the man, but he did not believe them. No one who had not fought against Goyaate would believe them.Goyaate squatted in the dirt in front of his tent, playing with stones beside a barely guttering fire. The Captain walked up to him, his freshly shined boots collecting flecks of dust and ash as he approached. He wasted no time on pleasantries and spoke his mind straight away. A good quality in a warrior, thought Goyaate."There are rumors that you are growing restless, sir. That you will attempt to raid.”Goyaate shrugged and said, “People who live in houses have much time to talk." He swept up a handful of stones and began to lay them out in the dirt."We do not know each other, sir,” said Captain Evans, “There is no bond of friendship between us, but I do implore you, honor your agreement and stay put."Goyaate said nothing, now arranging the stones in a circle around a few stones in the center. When he was done he swept the shape away with his hand again.The Captain continued, “Have your people not suffered enough? What point to lead more young men to their death, sir?"Goyaate now counted the stones out by three. There were 26 stones so there was a group of two left at the end. Goyaate shook his head and muttered disappointment."So you will not raid, sir? You give me your word?"Goyaate looked up. The young man had ruined it by speaking too much. Goyaate stared at him a long, long time before he said, “It is not our way to be in such a hurry."Captain Evans nodded and left, saying more empty and foolish words before he went. The Captain felt sad that the mighty warrior had been reduced to a foolish old man playing in the dirt. When the major asked him what Goyaate was doing when the Captain found him the Evans replied, "playing with pebbles the way small children play with marbles. I found no fight in him, sir. In fact, I suspect that his mind might be going."The Major nodded and dismissed the Captain.Before returning to his billet, the Captain rode a half a mile out of his way and used his spyglass to check on what the old War Chief was doing. He saw that Goyaate still squatted on the ground and played with stones. Evans shut the telescope with a snap. He shook his head and wondered how one ignorant savage could've caused so much trouble for the governments of both United States and Mexico.Next to his dying fire, Goyaate rearranged his stones again, but still he had two left over. Bad luck. Threes were strong magic, fours were even stronger, but twos… bad luck. A new shadow fell across the stones. Goyaate looked up slowly and saw that it was Red Sleeve, an old man who had been chief of his own tribe of Apache. Now his tribe was scattered, mostly dead, and they were both prisoners here on a military reservation.Goyaate looked at the old chief and thought, not for the first time, that it would have been kinder for the white man to have killed them all, and that they had left them to die here as the worst punishment of all.It was said that when Ussen made the lands and the people that he made each land fit for each people, with climate and food and herbs to suit them so they could flourish. And that when you took a people from their land, as they had taken the Apache to this Oklahoma, the people would grow sick and weak. This had happened to all of the Apache here at Fort Sill, and the lines in Red Sleeve’s face now looked like they were cut there by a knife instead of old age Red Sleeve squatted and said, “When you leave, I will go with you."Goyaate said, “The warpath will be hard, and you are a great warrior grown old. Maybe it is better if you tend the fires and pass your stories on to the next generation.”Red Sleeve laughed bitterly, “They have destroyed us. I think there will be no more Apache, only tame Indians, captive on the reservations." Then he tossed a small stone into the pile with the others. He said, "I think I will die soon but I do not think I will die here.” He looked at the bleak plain around with its ragged tents and clapboard shacks, “This is not a good place to die.”Goyaate saw it then. Twenty-four stones, in six groups of four on the ground before him. There was power in it. He could see the stones as warriors on a raid, a flowing formation that would shift naturally to take advantage of every enemy weakness. Goyaate said, "I have stayed long enough. We will leave tomorrow night, after the moon has set.”---The next night, Goyaate and his men, built two fires in a low place, out of the wind, that could not be seen from the Fort. They sang the old songs, danced the opening to war, even though many of them were stiff and old. Had there been any young Braves left they would have laughed at the old man creaking and slow. Some, like Red Sleeve, teetered more than turned, and none of them whirled as they raised their voices.But if anyone who looked into the old man’s eyes, he would not have laughed. They had all traveled the sacred warpath and honored it with the blood of many foes. Many times had Goyaate led them as War Chief and Goyaate had always come back. Many of those who had followed him had died. But all who died had found a good death. The old men knew there was no good death to be had on the reservation.The dancing stopped and Goyaate spoke, barely loud enough to be heard over the wind and the crackling fire. He spoke of the unstoppable waves of the white man, that kept coming and coming and coming. Of their insatiable hunger that would not be satisfied even if they ate the world. Had they not killed all the Buffalo? Had they not defeated all the tribes? Would they not consume the land and all the water? And after that, would they not eat the sky and the stars and even Ussen himself. And then, when there was nothing left they would eat each other. Until the last white man, a creature of boundless appetite would sit all alone in the dark, gnawing on his own feet, until he ate himself up and the universe came to an end.Against this enemy, this hunger, Goyaate said, there could be no victory. The men looked to Goyaate expecting to see their despair mirrored on his face. But the War Chief was smiling. Goyaate said, “We could run, like we would run to the United States when the Mexican army was too strong for us. And then later run back to Mexico when the United States was too strong. We could run like this in the days when they feared to cross the border to chase us. It was only when they worked together and there was no border that they were able to defeat us. But I know a border across which neither of them can chase us. A place beyond the reach of this hunger, this sickness.“Where is this place?” the men asked, daring to hope again after long years. And Goyaate said, “I will show you.”All of them wanted to believe in Goyaate so much that this answer was good enough for them. All of them, but one. Red Sleeve was grateful for such a powerful War Chief, but he knew that much of his strong magic came from others' belief in his great name. He did not doubt Goyaate’s magic. He had seen bullets bounce off him. He had seen wounds that would have killed any other man result in mere injuries. But still. Red Sleeve asked Goyaate where this border was and how they would cross it. Was it far to the north? Was there a river? And if not Mexicans, what people were on the other side? Because both Red Sleeve and Goyaate love to kill Mexicans most of all.Goyaate said, “Do you remember when the Long-Nosed Star Chief? The first time the Army tried to make peace with us? We rode in, you and I, meaning to make treaty with them. They showed us into a tent filled with food and drink. And while we were waiting, many of us ate and drank. While outside the soldiers were setting up with rifles. You remember how happy Arispe was to be eating the sweets they had left?”Red Sleeve nodded once. “And how they shot into the tent with many rifles. All the others were killed, not in battle, but by cowards. Yet we escaped.” Red Sleeve nodded again and said, “Because you cut a hole in the back of the tent and we crawled out.”“No,” said Goyaate, “We escaped because they did not think such a thing was possible. And if they had not found that hole in the tent, they never would have thought to follow us.”Red Sleeve didn’t like that Goyaate had dodged his question, so he said “Where is this border? I am tired of old stories.”“What has the whole world become, but the white man’s tent? A place to gather the warriors together, so they can make us false promises and kill us?”“But what can we do that we have not already done?”“The world is the tent, old father, and I will cut a hole in the side that they will never find. We will escape and leave the world to them so we can go and try a better one.” Red Sleeve nodded his head again. Goyaate was more skilled in war than any man he’d ever known. If Goyaate said such a thing, then it would be so. Even if Red Sleeve couldn’t see how.When the dance was done they walked between the fires, painted their faces with ash and burned ends of branches and began the sacred raid. — Then they ran. They ran with heart and with fire and the excitement of being wild and free again. They ran through the night. First, running south until the lights from the Fort had disappeared, then east, out of the foothills and onto the Llano Estacado, the Staked Plain of Texas.There were grasses here, but water was very scarce. The hidden ways of this sea of grass at once been known to the Apache, but the Comanche had driven them from this land and ruled it from horseback. The Comanche had held The Staked Plain against the white man for years.They had lured entire companies of cavalry to their death here. And why would the cavalry not feel safe, at least at first? The Bluecoats had rifles that could shoot farther than any bow. And there seemed to be no place for a foe to hide on the desolate prairie. No rocks, no trees, no streams. Yet still, the cavalry died in herds. It was only when the Army started setting fire to the prairie itself that the Comanche were forced to surrender.This wide open space was not freedom. It was a trap. There were only a few ways to cross it, and these, only on horseback. And not to know the paths that led from water to water, and not to have a horse to travel them quickly enough was to have the sun and the wind wring the moisture from your body and jerk you, like beef, for the vultures. There were those who thought the Staked Plain got its name because it was a place the where Indians staked men to the Earth to die. But that was for dimestore novels. A man without a horse here would die far, far worse than if he was nailed to the earth. Yet into this terrible, hopeless place Goyaate and his men ran with only the water they could carry with them. They did not stop. They built no fire and they ate no food. Starvation was an old friend to those who had been on a reservation.—The Cavalry rode out after them two days after Goyaate had left. The scouts had laughed when they found the track. Running on foot into the Staked plain was suicide. They would ride them down in a day. And then the world would be rid of the last War Chief. Captain Evans regretted that it had come to this. He had believed that he was building some rapport with Goyaate. As the son of a Presbyterian minister, Captain Evans was heartened by the good work that had been done converting many of the natives from their heathen religions. In Christ were all things possible. Even the notoriously bloodthirsty Chief of the Comanche, Quanah Parker, had converted and started wearing a suit of clothes instead of savage regalia. When they mustered the Major had come out and addressed the troop. He reminded those who were too young to have fought the Indians before that Goyaate was a dangerous adversary and the perpetrator of many savage atrocities. Captain Evans wondered if the speech was for him. But this was silly. If the Major had any doubts or misgivings, he would not have given him the command. The Major finished by saying, “The army should have killed those savages long ago. Go forth and redeem us from our procrastinations.”The day was glorious, and as they rode out Captain Evans’ only wish was to be riding off on a more gallant errand against a more worthy adversary. Instead of riding off to kill some old men. Like much the young Captain had seen of duty, there was no glory in it, save the honor that accrued to one who faithfully and completely fulfilled an order. The high spirits of the morning did not last into the afternoon. The track was plain and the Apache had made no effort to hide it, but after hours of hard riding, they still had failed to sight the fugitives. They dismounted, fed, and watered the horses and then the men. This took the better part of an hour, and when they remounted, things got worse. After a quarter of an hour, they came to the end of the trail. The footprints through the long grass of the staked plane simply came to a stop. The Captain and several of the men scanned the horizon in all directions with spyglasses. But there was no sign. Scouts rode in widening circles around the main troop. They found nothing but the original trail."Well, they can't simply have just disappeared, or ran into the sky with the angels," said Captain."Devils," muttered a nearby trooper, with a note of fear in his voice.Captain Evans dismissed this as mere superstition. He turned to O'Rourke, his dependable old sergeant, veteran of many a raid and campaign. He said, “All the superstitious nonsense, Sergeant. There must be a perfectly good explanation for this. Men don't simply vanish from the prairie."To his surprise, O'Rourke crossed himself and said, “Not men, sir. This Goyaate is an evil man, sir, possessed of strong magic. Many times he should have died by now and many times he has survived.""It is but a desperate trick. We make a camp here," he said looking at the sun dipping low in the sky. "Double the sentries, close packets, and tomorrow we put an end to this foolishness.”They made camp but set no fires. The older men in the troop slept not at all. They sat, in twos and threes facing outward, rifles across their legs, not talking. They had ridden this plain before and remembered the men who had ridden with them and had not come back. Some stayed quiet because they could remember the bodies of men, women and children, that the Indians had and tortured for sport, leaving their entrails strung out in the prairie grass in strange patterns. Others did not speak because they could remember the horrible things *they* had done to the savages in the name of retaliation. Captain Evans rose from his bedroll a little before dawn. He woke the cook and asked for coffee. Before the coffee had finished brewing a cry went up from one of the scouts. Captain Evans looked out in front of the company, past the place where the tracks had stopped. There was nothing. Then he saw that the scout was pointing East, back the way they had come. There he saw a figure silhouetted against the sliver of the rising sun. He covered his eyes and stared painfully into the dawn trying to see who it was. But it was no use. He called for ten men to mount up. One of the lieutenants, as eager and fresh as the Captain had been just a few short years ago, asked him, “What is it, Sir?”“We shall see soon enough, Mr. Jettle,” Captain Evans said in a dismissive tone. He ended the conversation by mounting his horse and shouting orders. They formed up in a line and advanced East at a walking pace. When some of his men drew weapons, the Captain barked, “Holster arms!" Whatever this was, Evans wanted the man alive. So he could learn what had happened.On this featureless plain information could be more valuable than water. As they drew closer Evans could see the figure was an old man, staggering around in a circle. Was he wounded? Was he injured? It did not appear so, but the old man moved with such trouble that the Captain felt sorry for him. Then he saw that this man was an Indian and his fear returned. He looked up and down the line. His men were all fixated on this old Indian. None of them were looking around. He eased his pistol from his holster.The old man stumbled, and it seemed like he would fall. They were so close, why did the old man not look at them? Captain Evans cried out, “You there!"The old Indian turned to face the cavalry. The red glow of dawn through his hair made it seem that he was soaked in blood, but the real horror was in the man's smile. Captain Evans realized he had never before seen an Indian smile on the reservation. The old man threw his head back and yipped three times like a coyote.Captain Evans opened his mouth to say, "seize him!" But before he could get the words out, the prairie erupted all around them. Screaming natives clawed their way up through the turf as if out of their own graves. The horses bucked and plunged unpredictably as the Indians attacked, two or three to each horse. They pulled troopers from the saddle and dispatched them with knives. And as soon as a horse was vacated, an Indian would mount. Captain Evans pointed his pistol, seeking a target in the chaos. He fired a shot at an Indian scalping one of his men on the ground, but the shot missed. He was knocked from his saddle. At the sound of the gunshot, all of the Indians on horseback wheeled and charged towards the cavalry encampment. Captain Evans inhaled to yell a warning, but before the words came out the old man grabbed his mouth with his left hand and drug a knife along the Captain’s neck with his right. Blood spurted all over the old man's knife arm. As the captain fell to the earth dying, the old man held his blade high in the sunrise, marveling at the red blood in the orange and red hues of the dawn. Once again Red Sleeve had earned his name.With a single pass, the Indians stampeded the encampment’s horses. The younger men wanted to circle back and finish the job. But Goyaate rode on. Let the staked plain finish them. And one did survive, the news they brought to the other white men would arrive too late to be of use. Goyaate rode straight for the heart of the emptiness, knowing that at the heart of nothing he would find everything he was after. Get full access to Patrick E.

I don't know why I am just not that excited anymore about the story, Episode 13-15 seemed to be rushed and with the recent things going on, I just hope there is going to be a good ending that going to save this drama for me! -Your Kdrama Reviewer
Rollspelsförfattaren och supernörden Gabrielle de Bourg gästar podden den här veckan! Jonas, Niklas, Tove och Vanne håller låda tillsammans med den professionella nörden och rollspelsförfattaren Gabrielle de Bourg. Det blir en härlig djupdykning i H.P. Lovecraft-skräck, mycket snack om rollspel i allmänhet och i synnerhet, om Call of Cthulhu och dess avarter, som svenska Kutulu och Delta Green. Gabrielle nördar också mycket annat och vi dissekerar bland annat Star Wars, Resident Evil-spelen, laserdisc och Nintendo Gamecube. Filmsvep blir det också, även här med lite skräcktema. Niklas har sett nyversionen av Candyman, lätt cosmic horror-inspirerade The Empty Man och den snygga västernrullen The Harder They Fall. Eftersom Tove är med blir det också lite koreanskt - två serier på Viki som går just nu: thriller-dramat Jirisan om parkväktare och skriven av manusförfattaren till Kingdom, samt det välberättade historiska dramat The Red Sleeve. Vanne har å sin sida förkovrat sig i ljudböcker, specifikt i mysromance-serien Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts. Slutligen blir det även Hjulstakrönikan, där vi går igenom vad som hände i avsnitt 5 av första säsongen av Wheel of Time (aka Sagan om Drakens återkomst). Tack & Förlåt, Puss Hej!
I enjoy it so far, can't wait for next week! -Your Kdrama Reviewer
Today's episode is another midpoint impressions, but a joint one! I thought it would be quite fitting to do a joint midpoint impressions episode on two dramas that just so happen to be sageuk dramas and starring a member of Kpop group 2PM! Please come have a listen as I give my thoughts about these two period dramas after almost swearing off of them for the year! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lolapop/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lolapop/support
