I really appreciate that this drama was produced by the same company that produced LIP. They legally and openly reference the LIP scenes in this one. When they did that it brought back all those memories from LIP whenever there’s a flashback to Fugui’s parents’ story. It made LIP audience feel the connection. I adored the Wangquan Hongye in LIP. He’s definitely traumatised for life due to the events and losses in LIP. It’s sad to see how horrible he has become in SaB.

I feel so sad for Fugui, everyone except Qingtong addresses him as Soldier instead of his name. They’re seeing him as a demon slaying tool, not a human being. 😭😭😢😢😟😟Qingtong is definitely perfect for him. She’s chatty, brave, kind hearted and cares about him.

Hope they have a better ending than Fugui’s parents.

I was lowkey worried SCH being impulsive and hot headed again with him attacking Prince Langya. It looks like he had plans. What a relief. This is getting better and more interesting
Love SMY & SCH’s bromance!

GJ’s voice acting for SMY is too low for me. I ‘d love him to speak a little bit stronger and enunciate the words clearer.

That sentence hit so hard. He’s so calm even when facing death. He must have had enough of the life he’s leading.

Li Daikun. He’s the actor that plays Scorpion King in WOH.

Uncle Zhe is definitely the stealer of the show with his dialect. What Chinese dialect does he speak? The melody sounds like Cantonese but I don’t think it’s Cantonese.

What is Chinese shared universe?
Do I need to watch The Blood of Youth and Dashing Youth before this one?

I feel you! After FH’s intensity, I went for Journey to Love, it’s even more intense than FH with all the deaths and sad ending 😂 😂.
I have watched Coroner’s Diary. It’s a good show with an unexpected plot twist (the imposter emperor!)
I am now scrolling through some of the reviewers’ watchlist and look for something that I have not watched that might pique my interest.

What are guys watching after this one?
I’ve just finished binging Journey to Love and LOVE it for the brotherhood, camaraderie, humour, Yu Shisan and Yang Ying despite the ending.

Will there be any flashbacks to their previous life in One and Only?

I binged the entire 40 episodes in 3 days. I don’t mind the sad ending since sometimes it cannot be avoided in turbulence times like the world they lived in and with the corrupt government they had. But I wish they could have done differently with Wudi, Li Tongguang and Ren Ruyi characters. Firstly, Wudi could have lived and be a better ruler after the experience he had. Everyone put their lives on the line to rescue him but damn they had to kill him off. It felt like a betrayal to the Liu Dao Hall brothers and Yang Ying after all the sacrifices they made. Second, the Marquis character didn’t have much character development. He’s obsessed and impulsive until the end. His impulsiveness caused the death of Ning Yanzhou and Ruyi. Last but not least, the suicide mission that Ren Ruyi did. She went out of character, she’s one smart, strong and independent woman, she shouldn’t have thrown away her life like that. She should have lived well even without Ning Yanzhou.
Liu Dao Hall brotherhood and the comedy are really the highlight of the show. I have never cried so much for a drama like I have watching this one. Yu Shisan and Yang Ying are definitely my favourite characters. Yu Shishan always livens the mood with his jokes. I LOVE HIM! Yang Ying as a character has shown a lot of character development, from a timid little princess to a smart and courageous woman whose mission is to maintain peace between the two warring states.I ‘m gonna check their other works.

What’s going on? Why does everyone want to kill everyone?😅😅😅😅

Is Xia Jingshi heading a cult or what?
The way they address Xia Jingshi as Your Eminence and believe he can save all beings.

Idk why I feel like point 1 and 2 might be the case. If not, without evidence and witness, how would FSG be able to clear his name from accusation of regicide and patricide?

He will definitely survive if not the drama would just end.
We’re too invested into FSG and FYX’s world, so that’s why we feel their pains and want the best for them.

My biggest issue from this list is that how could soldiers lose to mere imperial guards? That seems forced and doesn’t make sense.

Xia Jingshi, Prince of Zhennan.

That must have felt good after such a long rant 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣

I totally agree with you on the Haochen’s story. I was hoping for a proper dialogue between HM and HC. I initially wanted to give a 10 as soon as I finished it but after giving it some thoughts on what could have been done better, I decided to give it a 9.5, for the acting, the chemistry, and XY’s maternal grandma! Honestly, I didn’t invest in the second couple’s story. They just existed.

You are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That title is so fitting.
