Too much expectation, greatly disappointed
After waiting for a long time to watch a female warrior drama and the author is Qian Shan Cha Ke herself, expectation was sky high. The story of an identity swapped female general , revenge and fight to reclaim her title was indeed promising. The trailer and the poster also gave good impression but the whole concept of a female warrior got lost in the way of "paving for Commander Xiao's trust". We only get a glimpse of the past mighty general Feihong. The current he yan unfortunately cannot meet the unmatched general on the battlefield in my eyes. The whole concept got lost somewhere in the name of romance which was also not anything that can spark fire.
The fl and her stepbrother's visible size differance and no one ever questioned hoe general feihong got 5 inches tall and buffer in a night is concerning. He rufei is told to have cognitive problem and he suddenly got cured By Xu jingfu's magic potion?! and the fact that he was staying at Yunhua temple with the identity of he yan meaning Rufei should've disguised as a women but we never see him doing that. Xu Jingfu was portrayed as a cunning man , there were so many choices and yet he kept the dumbest imposter general by his side.
The fl is mighty only in the past. In the present unfortunately she carry the temperament of a general. This drama should've been sold as a love story. The main problem people are disappointed is because if you are selling a hardcore , revenge filled women centric story then you better deliver it. There were a lot of questionable points throughout the story but all this could've been overlooked if we got a good closure. But wtf happened at last few episodes?
Chu zhao was a gentle character from the beginning who called out his own actions , he didn't wanted to sugarcoat his action in the name of anything else. And what they made of it?? A lovesick fool who abused his power, broke trust of his allies. A character who respected he yan from the beginning suddenly wants to trap her cause he can't see her unite with her lover. Looks like writers of different minds got together to write this story and combined it together without reviewing. The emperor suddenly switching back forth from villain to a matchmaker didn't make any sense. His worry for consolidating military power is valid but then he is suddenly bestowing them marriage without any condition because they won a war?
let's talk about goodside. I liked the song and Cheng lei. The ml looked really good as a general. If anyone is his diehard fan you can watch it. If you want a bubbly romance disguised in a action/ warrior-ish drama you can watch it
but there are better things out there and this one is certainly no one of it
