A pathetic death for a pathetic man he has been

It looks like the last 10 eps will also be the most interesting ones. I'm definitely curious how he will dispute the classical "battle over a girl" with CP. Given Jin'an's re(g)al identity, CP risks not only to lose the girl, but his kingdom as well

Jin'an will rule over both reigns, there are no other royal alternatives, one is more freak than the other

I don't have a hyperacusis but agree with you she was miscasted. She is a proper actress in every sense but isn't inherently fit for every role and the problem is not in her physical constituition, recently we've seen even tinier Zhou Ye in LoFG being more convincing as such, not in acute tone of her voice and neither in line delivery (imo) but in her performance of the "female" side of this character: those traits are too convincing (too normal and in the range of our expectations for a woman) to be combined with her "military side", so this side of the character constantly prevails making the other unbelievable. I suspect this thing isn't even the actress's fault, the script is confusingly written when it comes to several characterisations and she is just the most noticeable.

And I also agree Sandra Ma excellently embodied a female general, with good balance of military roughness and female tenderness (towards her husband in particular), the natural low tone of her voice certainly helped in that endeavour but it wasn't the determining factor

Yup, and it's a pity bc. a few departments put a certain effort in their job and the original story did not contain nonsensical details distracting our attention.

Good there are men like you. Bravo, be always this way

can't agree more. It's really annoying

Many tnx for your prompt reply.
Actually, MHH was a good parody but not the greatest I've seen of the sort... I was trying to figure out what the top dramas had in common to draw such an interest and "heat", but it's difficult to say, maybe all these dramas somehow contain certain original elements and a good dose of humour especially towards its own genre... But must say they greatly differ in quality, so it isn't the quality (and neither the genre) to determine the interest of the audience

I understood that you've worked (tnx for your hard work btw) with 2024 and 2025 data. But where did you find the titles in "Highest Heat Index ranking : (total of dramas over 10k till 2024 - 14) ". I'm curious which drama - with different title - this one may be. Maybe it's possible if your source mentioned the original (Chinese) title, too

There's no C-drama Marry My Husband from 2021

yeah, I think I'll rate it 8 at the end, too. Unless some other nonsense wracks my nerves and I cut even that. Such a pity, I loved this couple

I enjoy it as well. The plot is not among the most interesting but the characters are and the actors are doing well. Especially... Bao Bao 😁😍

I greatly agree with you. Initially, I've thought they had reduced and simplified the original story in order to focus better on the main couple's characters and relationship, but never expected such a huge mistakes and plotholes, even in their romance (eg. the misunderstanding of her late arrival to Mingshui Battle or her - totally unlikely - lost and irrational behaviour on the battlefield etc), not to mention the rest of the story.
I've shipped them, too, but certainly can't be satisfied with how the story turned out

yeah, although it wouldn't be bad as a romcom. Now, when it's a high time to get back to the story... there's no story to return to.
Pity, the final rating will suffer. For me, it's between 7,5-8,0. As for now, bc. we still have 10 eps left

LOL

I'm sorry to say this bc. of our wonderful couple, but at ep 26 I start to feel like plotholes are accumulating a bit too much (how the hell he got into a besieged town?). I'm not a novel reader and was ok with the simplification of the story, I even liked the fact SML is not a usual aggressive or passive-aggresive freak and could have standed the exaggerations of skills, the meaninglessness of the second couple, etc ...
Now, despite I truly like the leading actors and how they've impersonated their characters, the development of their relationship is not any more compelling as before: it's all clear, they are made for each other, totally compatible and able to win over anybody... pity this thing makes there's no story anymore bc outside these two, nothing is particularly important, the story can stop as well. The initial simplification which was an advantage turned into a flow.

Agree, that scene was completely out of place

the question was: was it you who arrived late w/ reinforcement, but the subs mistranslated "late with" with "delayed"

you are not the only one...

Agree.
His being attracted to the FL makes a lot of sense and I don't understand why so many people is annoyed with him.
He is a decent gentleman who doesn't make FL feel uncomfortable and who "is just trying to find his place in this wicked world", as you've said. Finally, instead of usual 2nd lead/antagonist typical stereotype (idiot, obsessive, self-centred, irritating...), we've got a refreshment: a decent, polite and good-looking 2nd lead who can have his own story of growth and healing/overcoming his problems.
