Ikr!! Finally a convincing female cross dressing as male. It's not like they just put the actress in men clothes and called it a day. It's sooo convincing. And she's dominating (plus point) the way she fights him and pick him up on her shoulder? Ughhhhh!

I just saw those gifs tooooo omg! I am always here for a masc FL! And she's throwing him around?! 👀 So hopeful for this one!!

I've just done some research and watched the first 2 eps, and it really seems like cold, mean, ruthless FL and damsel ML (in front of her)!!!

Here are some links/edits about it (I haven't watched them all):

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

He is actually poisoned and if he exerts himself too much, it'll act up. The FL is ruthlessly clever, and he is down bad for her basically from the beginning. He is definitely very green-tea and falls in love with her calculating nature and ruthlessness!

It also seems to be leaning slightly more egal than RR, and one of FL's maids plays one of the FLs in Hail to the Princess.

Even if the first CP is more egal than RR, the 2nd is definitely RR!!!! ANd yeah, she's actually masc (and very attractive, I have to say) which is so rare for Cdramas. I can't wait to see her throw her love interest around 😩

Edit: I've gotten up to the part where they meet and it's SO RR omg she's literally pinning him down and overpowering him so much i love this

2FL is a rough crossdressing general and 2ML is a magistrate/scholar? I'm not exactly sure, but it's perfect!

I'll take egal lol, but I'm so glad to hear about the second couple! 🥰

She's a gentlewoman as well 🤭😩

The 2ML is so flustered around her 🤭

She also gives bisexual vibes, she hangs around courtesans and seems to enjoy their attention!

Stop stop I'm already head over heels for her lol 😆🤭 I love a gentlewoman!!! And bisexual vibes too?? So excited to meet her!

The more I watch Blossoms of Power, the better it gets! I was wrong about the mostly egal, i'd actually say it's more RR, both the couples are just absolute goodness!

The ML is so helpless-puppy coded 😩

I mean, it could've been a very interesting take (basically... Star Wars if Padme didn't die), but from what I remember, she was pretty shady from the start when trying to prove his innocence, so really, they could've just been a mafia power couple 😂

True, she did whatever she needed to get her hubby out of jail, but I wonder if she would've gone as far as supporting him becoming the head of a criminal organization? I don't remember how morally gray she was.

I've completed the next compilation of manhandling, here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/cdramasfans/comments/1utc7cf/fl_manhandling_ml_compilation_2/

enjoy ;)

Oh, I definitely enjoyed...😩<3 That was the visual equivalent of eating a really good ribeye steak. Succulent! Nice job, murderbee. You picked the best Princess Decree and Lady Painter scenes (my fav was the hot springs). I really have to get around to finishing My Lady General. I remember enjoying it, but I got distracted by something else. Now I can't remember what would've distracted me from such an elegant and pretty ML.

What in the RR is happening...

EDIT Aaaah I meant to ask, has anyone been watching Blossoms of Power? I wasn't planning to, but I saw a gifset today where the ML was saying he's so frail that when he becomes emperor he could be easily disposed of (I think by FL, if she so chooses?)... potentially RR 👀??

At first I didn't pay it any mind, but I've been seeing really intense RR edits, like:

Sadly, I just saw one comment say that they swap roles, so might be a potential bait and switch T . T

Arclei:
Literally on the same boat cuz I was also not gonna watch this, but then ML is weak and sickly... and a green-tea and allegedly faints a lot? (at least in the novel so I hear) and FL is cold and calculating and a lil mean??? And there's a MASC X MASC RR SIDE COUPLE???!!!! (the one in black is a woman- like I'm SHOCKED? It looks so convincing???!!). So yeah, I think imma be watching this at some point after it finishes airing xD

The masc x masc couple looks soooooo good! They're actually who I keep seeing edits of. I'm a little scared because someone in the YT comments essentially said there was a bait and switch, but I'm still tempted to at least watch the RR goodness beforehand. If you watch it, please let me know.

The FL looks so convincing, I was shocked!

As for Secrets of the Shadow Sect, I need to give it another try. I watched it when I was in a blah mood, and the first couple of episodes didn't hit. But I believe y'all, so give me some time.

I first saw He Yu in My Fated Boy, and always thought he was an interesting balance of cute x masculine. I couldn't get into his other dramas because of the relationship dynamics, but now that I'm learning more about Blossoms of Power, I'm quite intrigued....

Ahhhhhh!!!! We love to see it! But why are you doing this to me?????? I have other dramas to finish, but you're making me want to abandon them to start Blossoms of Power D: And I cannot start yet another drama. I just really hope the masc couple stays consistent.

So, we're basically starting a fan club for her 🤭 Because I'm mostly interested in her and her flustered scholar.

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW HE ACTED IN "MY FATED BOY" AND EVERYONE KNOWS PUPPY (AND MOMMY) MLs ARE MY KRYPTONITE!!!!!

girl it's so goooood

Whelp, I've already folded.
