I think most people who watch Cdramas are into romance first and foremost. If shows don’t lean into romance then people are less interested in the show.

The editing is pretty bad for a series of this caliber. But overall the acting and story are overcoming that for me. I’m loving it.

In ep 4. She took her chest wrap off to wrap her wound. While riding behind him on the horse she laid against his body and he realized it.

Agreed. Once this series ends I will binge watch. I actually think this series will be even better watched in large chunks because how the story arc plays out.

Enjoyed getting the sweet moments between Beiming and Xueman. I hope we wrap up the poison storyline soon so we get more time with male lead being active. The show elevates every time he’s on screen. And bring more of ZKY as well. I’m starting to think Yesha isn’t one person but a cult religion. From the previews my guess is that Beiming will save Xueman by turning himself in.

I like how the guy, whom I’m assuming is the 2ML, was able to put together that He Yan was a girl rather easily. And the 2FL, I assume, was able to sus that she was disguised as Cheng. Glad they aren’t bringing in dumb secondaries just to prop up leads.

Legend of the Female General is actually really good. Have not watch the other. I was thinking of The Coroner’s Diary which is way overrated imo.

Love the group dynamics. Beiming treats Feng and Shuang like little brothers. Really enjoy his talks with the boys. Also loved the talk between Xueman and Dairong in bed. It was a real sister moment for those two. Beiming’s instincts for bringing Dairong along was correct. Xueman did need to have her around. I’m to the point now, that I will be mad if the kill off anyone on our team. I want to see everyone solve this mystery and make it home.

She is his wife. I would hope so.

Just finished episodes 5 and 6 and I’m pleased at how the show is going so far. Love the chemistry between the leads. My only complaint would be the editing. It’s clear there are some severe cuts that have occurred. You can tell that there are scenes missing that would connect an earlier and later scene. That does contribute to the fast pace, which I don’t mind, but that does lead to some choppiness. So far the story and acting is good enough that it’s holding together. But I really wish we got more than 35 minutes.

It’s not a FL story but Xueman is our doorway to a lot of these cases. Due the fact that Beiming is a fugitive, Xueman is the connective piece to all the characters and the face of the group.

I heard that negotiations are underway for Wang Xingue and Zhou Ye to lead a new drama together. Will probably not be out till next year.

I hear that one of the male leads had scenes replaced or edited completely out so that effected the time. Idk. I would normally expect at least 45 minutes per episode.

Iqiyi is still showing it listed at 40.

A lot of it has a from antis who are afraid of actors becoming popular and outshining their favorite actors. Pretty sad. And it will also be from those who expected or wanted as romance.

I really liked that the team came together and had a moment of happiness. We even had a couple of mentions that Beiming and Xueman were still married. Time to consummate guys. Although I expect someone to die now. No one is allowed happiness in these dramas.

Does Zhou Ye do her own voice work? I noticed her accent in that interview seemed very thick.

What face swapping?

If you believe He Yan passes for a man I would respectfully suggest you get your eyes checked my friend. Lol. The actress, Zhou Ye, is 27 years old and looks very feminine. With that said, this just requires suspension of disbelief. I don’t need to gaslight myself into believing people could confuse her as a man. I can just use my head and know this is a common Cdrama trope that takes nothing away from the story. It’s the Clark Kent with glasses thing. Obviously people should know he looks like Superman. Same here but it takes nothing away from the story.

I think some people raised their expectations way too high. For me I was hooked from the first episode. I’m loving it so far after 4 episodes and the previews are making me want more now. Not sure what people were expecting.
