This drama will give you withdrawal symptoms!!!
I accidentally stumbled upon this drama while searching for something new to binge-watch, and wow! I fell so hard for Chen Zhe Yuan! At first, I didn’t even recognize him, even though I had watched HL and WOT. To be honest, I didn’t expect such powerful acting and impressive dialogue delivery from him. I also recently discovered that he dubbed himself, and I’m so impressed! His fighting and romantic scenes were equally eye-catching.Li Qin and Chen Zhe Yuan made an amazing pair here. They were so believable as the female general and ruthless prince. Their chemistry was on point, and the romantic scenes were beautifully done. What I really loved was how their characters communicated and trusted each other from start to finish. You could really feel the mutual respect between them.
FSG’s character was heartbreaking—betrayed by almost everyone around him throughout his life. But despite all of that, we never see him weak or vulnerable. He’s always resolute, determined to fight through difficult times while upholding righteousness. I absolutely loved his character arc. FYX’s journey was similar, though she experienced fewer betrayals. She too is impressively strong and righteous.
Some of my favorite scenes in the drama were the confrontations between Feng Sui Ge and his father, the Emperor. The acting was so powerful, and the emotions were explosive! Another unforgettable moment was when the Murong father-son duo backstabbed FSG. It happened so quickly, leaving FSG with no time to process what was happening—and we, as viewers, were equally shocked by the sudden twist.
Even though the secondary leads’ storyline felt a bit dragged out at the beginning, the ending really surprised me. By the end, I found myself rooting for the princess and the Jinxiu Emperor, sympathizing with them—especially because of the emperor’s devoted love for the princess, despite how unsettling it was.
The acting of most of the key characters really took FH to the next level. I watched all the episodes without ever getting bored and was always eager to see what would happen next.
My Thoughts:
This story could have been better without the memory loss trope. If Yixiao had formed an alliance with SuiGe while fully aware of how wrong Xia Jingshi was, the plot would have been more satisfying. FSG's memory loss arc, on the other hand, felt like filler, even though we got to see some impressive acting from him during that time.
The secondary leads' storyline felt like a parallel plot. They didn't really interact with the main story except at the beginning and end, which often made it feel like I was watching a completely different drama.
There were too many villains, and the revenge felt a bit too easy, which made them seem weak. I was hoping for at least one truly vicious villain without redemption.
Finally:
I’m not ready to say goodbye to FH just yet. I’ll definitely be rewatching it. I’ve become a hardcore fan of Chen Zhe Yuan! 👍

It’s an entertaining show
As expected from Thai series , especially from MAME, the first episode so far is just about the chemistry of Lead actors and their acting skills… After reading the book, the story has solid plot. But just waiting to see how it transpires in the series.The lead characters are Tongrak and Mahasamut. Mahasamut is playful, happy go lucky but playfully annoying to Tongrak. While Tongrak is fragile but arrogant kitten type. They both had their own traumas from past.
From 1st episode I can say, their chemistry on screen is so good. Tongrak/Peat is so beautiful while Mut is handsome. They carried the emotional scene so well.
It’s a good entertainer so far.
