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

It's something you'll remember for the rest of your life

Set in a fictional time where 1.3% of population are genetically mutated apaths. Justice In the Dark dives in the world of the psychology or criminals and the motive of their crimes. Are they criminal cause they are born apaths or is it choice?? The cofusion between what is right and what is wrong, duty, human's true nature... It's a total packed psychology thriller

Why you should watch this drama??
-Top notch plot. It's not something you'll sit back and watch. It will make sure you're using your 100% braincell and question every moral know
-U like psychological thriller?? then it's perfect for you. you like crime? action? parental abuse? deception? murder? betrayal? plot twist that makes you think why am I doing this to myself? Then you have come to the right place
-maybe you just want to see some pretty face...well we also have that

Acting: Let's talk about pei su. as someone who has already read the novel zhang xingcheng embodied the role of fei du and gave it life. Most of the time book readers are never satisfied with live adaptation but you'll never catch someone telling that the potrayal of fei du (pei su in the drama) was anything less than perfection. And if I start to write about how damn pretty this guys looked while suffering this review wil not end.
From luo wenzhuo to tao ran to lao qiao toevery small actor portrayed the anguish, pain,fear,confusion so beautifully that you'll wonder damn china can really make some good sht

And do I need to talk about the songs?? those lyrics stabbed my hearts too much that I will cry everytime when I listenTT

This drama is adapted from silent reading also known as mo du by preist. This is peak of drama. If it wasn't censored then it would've broken every record possible. It's a kind of show that you watch and know that it's gonna be with you for a long long time

A drama wrapped in meancholy

This was an angsty drama from start to finish. For me personally Wen yifan was like that one tragic xianxia character that suffers all her life with no way out. Name any abuse she has suffered it and yet bravely faced the reality and went for the so called life. She was an experience. The whole story is presented so brilliantly that I'm afraid this is the new standard. From story to acting to casting you can really feel the dedication of this team. The count of days at the beggining of each episodes to how they wrapped each and every single details of the drama makes it untouchable.

I need to write a whole paragraph on sang yan. One fact that sets him apart from any other ML is that he never intruded on yifan's past. No matter how much he loved he respected her private matters, this she didn't wanted to say. That doesn't happen a lot even in drama let alone real life. He was there for her in silent. He never crossed some lines which made my respect for this character go higher than mount everest. Yifan needed to make peace with her own past and sang yan was the pillar she could rely on whenever she needed. Someone like sang yan can only be in real life when one grows up in a family of love and understanding.

Be the Sang Yan of your own life till you find one. With this I'm wrapping my humble opinion
