General's Lady (2020)

Cosa non è stato questo drama 0.0
Questo è un drama ciclico. Cosa intendo? Beh gli avvenimenti sono più o meno sempre gli stessi a ciclo continuo. Cambiano le dinamiche ma causa, effetto e risoluzione sono quelle. La cosa bella che è un crescendo: ogni volta che il problema di turno si risolve, il legame tra i due protagonisti è sempre più forte e pronto a nuove sfide.
All'inizio mi ha colpito subito per i trope 'matrimonio forzato' e 'strangers to enemies to lovers' che sono i miei preferiti all'interno del panorama romance. Sia ML che FL poi hanno alle spalle degli attori che sono stati bravissimi ad interpretare i loro ruoli (Caesar Wu è stato una vera riscoperta, poichè l'avevo già notato in Meteor Garden ma non mi aveva entusiasmato là; si vede che è cresciuto molto) e a portare avanti una relazione senza modificarsi mostruosamente per l'altro come a volte purtroppo accade. Adoro quando i personaggi crescono ma rimangono fedeli a sè stessi. Inoltre qui quasi manca il terzo incomodo ma rimane cmq d'intrattenimento quindi ottimo. Forse sul finale avrei da storcere il naso perchè alcune cose una persona in quelle condizioni.. Beh non si sognerebbe mai di farle, ma così è stato.
Nel complesso non posso non consigliarlo. Anzi, mi è proprio dispiaciuto che sia già finito :(

From a cold general to one who loves and cares for his wife, and their encounters

For ancient drama I give this a solid ten ! First all of it wasn't draggy at all , despite it being 30 episode.

Storyline- The daughter of the Shen family has to marry a general far away. This general is heard to be ruthless in battle, giving him the nickname Devil. The female lead ends up going in her sister place, because her sister didnt want to marry a ruthless monster. Female lead didn't want her mother to suffer so she accepted the marriage. On the way, she is met with some other tribe people, the male lead ends up saving her( she didnt know who he was atm) She and her maid makes their way to the general's house. From getting to knowing the general, to being with him on the training ground their relationship grows and blossoms.

Romance- This one had quite a lot of kissing. They are a pretty cute couple. They have good passion. It's really cute to see their love develop for one another. It is most definite that the male lead loves the female lead a lot and is very patient with her. She can be over bearing somethings but the male lead still supports her. Their kisses gets better as their relationship blossoms, which is very cute. Its quite natural, like a everyday couple. Their relationship has it ups and down.

Reason why this drama is good
Wasn't too heavily focused on one specific topic. The underlying story was the general wanted to investigate what happen to the 8th king's family. Others included the female lead and male lead in their training ground, when she goes back home to live, finding her old friend, starting up her own business and some more.

Starts off with a bang, already have a kissing scene in ep 4 lol

Male lead and female lead's love for one another.

Some things that i didnt care for
- ugh hated with a passion her two annoying sisters! same dad different mom. They were quite annoying , but its very limited. I cant stand those drama who has a lot of the evil people getting their ways.

This drama surpassed my expectation. I loved it!
