Blindfolded Beast
Why wear a blindfold when you see everything with your spirit? The blue-robed warrior's confidence is terrifying. He gave them two breaths to flee, pure mercy! The arrogance of the white robe guys was their downfall. I love how the show doesn't waste time on unnecessary dialogue. The Grandmaster... A Peasant? delivers pure action satisfaction. The brown robe guy laughing at the end is suspicious.
Too Late to Run
You could see the exact moment regret hit their faces. They thought he was weak until the shockwave knocked them back. The choreography is smooth, especially the single-handed strike. It's rare to find such high-quality production in short dramas. The Grandmaster... A Peasant? keeps surprising me with these power scales. Definitely binge-watching this weekend on my phone.
Who Is Laughing?
That guy in brown robes at the end... why was he laughing like a villain? Seems like he was waiting for this power display. The plot thickens beyond just a duel.
