Three Kingdoms 2012 Episode 24/25 the END

General Huang Gai, in fact was just putting up a show to fool CaoCao. He then pretend to pledge allegiance to Cao Cao. He’s in charge of the food supply, & he will send Cao Cao, Dong Wu’s supply thus crippling Dong Wu just to get back at Zhou Yu! Meanwhile Pang Tong  also “intend to pledge allegiance”, and Jiang Gan was asked  to check him out. He convinced Jiang Gan. But not Hon. Hon decided to test Pang Tong, by beating him senseless!!!!

 Sima Yi finally appeared, tested Shun & found out he had lied about where he came from implying he could likely be spying for LauBei. So Shun was thrown into prison! As he was about to be executed, he remembered part of history (the burning of the chained ships) so he shouted that he had a SURE WIN STRATEGY!

 He told CaoCao that only by chaining the ships together to stabilize them, that the soldiers would not be affected by sea sickness. Everyone is impressed! CaoCao even agree to let Song Yau go Chibi with Shun. Shun seconded that Hon goes to Chibi with him & Man Yuek stays. Reason he knows Chibi will be a losing battle & he didn’t want Man Yeuk to be harmed… nice doing Shun!

Everyone prepares to go to war! LauBei’s side was not happy that they will sort of banished to the border & have little action. But to be honest, Zhou Yu is really good! His plan is excellent, far surpass any of Z’s plans so far which as we all know are not that original anyway!

EPISODE 25 [FINAL EPISODE]

The Battle….  Huang Gai is waiting for Zhou Yu’s signal to deliver the kerosene filled ship. Everyone is waiting…. For the east wind.. they needed that for the plan to work.  Zhou Yu has checked that today is the day for the wind but it’s just not happening so Sun Quan sent for Z! Z basically have no idea, but as usual he remembered what Shun Had said before- they’ll win- so he requested SunQuan to give him full command, signal to General Huang to proceed as planned – he’ll “borrow the East Wind” say what???? Both Sun Quan & Zhou Yu were shocked but what else can they do????

Z set up an altar & started the ceremony, & when he pointed to the sky with the wooden sword….. the East Wind REALLY appears!!!!  And the rest is history. A very happy Sun Quan declared Z to be the hero & genius while poor Zhou Yu looks on- not sure whether he died of a broken heart then, but in written history that was what happened- but not sure when though!

Now they go after Caocao. In the chaos, Fan Kan saved Shun again!!!! Shun & Song Yau ran towards the portal but only Shun got through & transported back to HKG. He wakes up & his family were all there…… happy he has return after 2 years. He missed Song Yau

15 years later, he’s a successful fast food restaurateur with many shops. In his office hung a portrait of Song Yau, he references  3 Kingdoms often,  checks up on the weather constantly  & eats the Mantau burger.  More years passed, he grown very much  older, now he has heart problems but basically still waiting for the perfect storm. It finally came, he rushed to the site & the portal opens. As he goes forward, he suffered a heart attack…… & died… ya so damn anti-climax right???? I cant believe it!  Then we see a young Song Yau floating down like some fairy. I don’t understand why she’s still so young?  She walks to Shun & touches his face.  The End

Thoughts: I seriously don’t understand this last episode & the ending. It’s like redundant. And what about LauBei & gang & Sun Quan & Zhou Yu, don’t they at least deserve some kind of closure to that part of story? The ending is just too bleak.

  1. Great review Falan! I have to say I enjoy your reviews much more than the show. The way they twisted the plot really makes the whole show silly. Zhuge Liang playing second fiddle to his wife & Kenneth's character??? that spells disaster from day one.

    And this ending is not romantic (I think they thought it would be), it's just tragic. Shun turned good & they comdemn him to a life without the person he loves till the day he dies? Crap!!!

    1. Anyway the so-call romance is almost non-existent. He didnt even expressed his feelings. Even a bad romance dont deserve such a dumb ending!!!!!

  2. The whole last part just seem so disconnected from the whole show. What happened to Zhuge Liang & gang? It's left tangling. I hated the ending too. Shun got old & Tavia didnt age a day? Agree Crap!and he dies?????? It seems they havent decide whether it's a comedy, drama, historical or whatever.....

    1. Ya... & I kept waiting for them to go back & show what ZhugeLiang & gang is doing but it never happen! So is Tavia an imagination or what? I thought she died also. How can she suddenly appear after so many yrs still looking young?

    2. hahha.... actually the timeline is wrong, one got old & the other still young. The writers probably want the audience to use their imagination for this last part. So they did it on purpose. But it didnt help the story at all, agree not well done.But logically.... probably Tavia died young over there. Kenneth ma finally dies, they are reunited as Tavia decsend from the sky symbolizes.

  3. The battle part how can they just credit the whole success to ZhugeLiang? Ok he 'borrowed the east wind' that's big. But without the whole plan, which is all Zhou Yu's idea, got wind also no use!!!
    And they have to spoil it as in Z didnt originally think of it but "remembered" Shun told him that they'll win big etc etc....so he's more confident! This tvb zhugeliang is really hopeless... he has no original thoughts!!!

    1. Hahha.... watch it with a classmate of mine we were both cursing that part.... really really badly directed I would say.

    2. Zhou Yu did come up with a really brilliant plan. Truth is all the zhugeliang ideas should be original ideas, that's the only way the show is nice. But the writers are trying too hard had distorted the plot & story beyond recognition. That's why I didnt enjoy the show. Kenneth ma's shun should only be there as comic relief. The writers had hijack all of ZhugeLiang's brilliance for Shun!!!

    3. Flora I agree.... if Kenneth is only there as comic relief, his romance can take off. His role still can be very big & they can still use the 3 kingdom stuff as a back drop. But noone should touch or distort Zhugeliang's ideas! Too bad... we should go be writers...hahhaha.....

    4. Well said Flora, the writers did hijack all zhugeLiang's original ideas for Shun- result a water-downed version!

    2. Thanks for the support!!!! Had a fun time doing it... quite busy now.... need to rest awhile ...lol.... Perhaps one of you can attempt to review the next one & we all go over to discuss? KIng Maker, Diva something..... ???? maybe?

      Delete
    3. Initially tot of doing King Maker but seems hard. Maybe Diva in Destress or tiger cubs or even Ghetto 2. Any preference?

      Delete
    4. King Maker could be tough, watching it now... the dialogue goes so fast!!!lol....

  5. I' was really disappointed with the ending... ok, was disappointed with the whole show. The set & clothes looks cheap, zhugeliang's character became unrecogniable. The pairing of LF & kaki is just plain sloppy & didnt do LF any justice- not against kaki , I tot she did a good job. But it's LF.... he deserve a fadan right?!!!!

    Anyway the last episode is really a waste, ending seem rushed. It's like they wanted to end it fast so they just come up with something. So abrupt!!! They just stop zhugeliang's part of the story half way....... I feel cheated of 25 hrs of my time!!!
