Wow, it's been a while since my last re-watch, and I'm surprised to see multiple adaptations of it. But maybe I shouldn't - this was really a very good show. Satomi Ishihara is so damm pretty here, and Arata Iura's presence puts 95% of MLs to shame.
Japanese original was an amazing ride, even if it was quite repetitive and without any character development. Daimon Michiko was also a rarely dominating female lead, levels abowe anyone else in her field (and terrible in anything else, romance included). I wonder if this would take the same route, as it's very, very rare in the drama world.
I’ve only watched the first episode, but I can’t get past the FL pretending to be a man. Does it get better?…
It depends on what you expect. If you want a gritty "Legend of the female general" show, then you will be disappointed, as I was. But if you are okay with a "Romance of the female soldier" with some fights sprinkled here and there, then it could be a decent watch.
她替三代人讨债/The Price of the Betrayal - pretty decent lawyer drama featuring an impressively capable female lead, fortunately without any ML/romance nonsense, so no way for writers to dumb her down. However, even with a Happy Ending, it's quite a depressing watch, though. Also, it possibly has a bit too much moralising and not enough highlight moments/catchy one-liners, but still a solid watch.
Thanks for the clarification. I know and enjoyed that Drama, but I have it titled: 招惹大小姐,你算捅到马蜂窝了; typically, I am using titles from the HaixingDanju website.
And yes, I'm a big fan of Jin Lu Ying, but I haven't watched this Drama until now (had it on my HDD, though).
You better drop it😭 because if the ML who’s probably the most interesting person in the drama is not giving…
Well, he is yet another teenage-looking Marty Sue ML hiding his power, trying to ruin my experience of watching a drama with a powerful and capable female lead.
However, Bu Shu Lin looks very intriguing; maybe the FL will do some cool stuff (already did a bit). I just finished Episode 5 and hope to watch more tomorrow.
New strategy in trying not to drop it after all - I am FFing all scenes featuring princes (especially ML); only Changqing gives me a vibe that I want to check what he is cooking.
I am just at Episode 3, and I already have enough of ML pestering the female lead. Ugh.
I am a little but confused, as I don't see a show titled - 大小姐巅峰归来，横扫一切
And of course, we will never get the type of show you mentioned. Last night I watched "My valiant wife" featuring Chu Ai Xu, who is another legit Martial Artist and is obviously pretty enough. Still, after a strong introduction, she was getting more and more progressively useless, so the ML could shine...
Ugh, yet another show where the so-called-badass female lead was soon downgraded in her skills and overshadowed by the ML in everything. "Yet another perfect ML" would be a more fitting title.
What a waste of Chu Ai Xu and her rare combination of good looks and legit martial arts skills.
I finally gave it a chance, and so far it's been fantastic. There are moments when I'm struggling to understand things, but at least there are almost no scenes which scream to use FF.
It's very refreshing to watch a supposedly Female-centric show which actually is Female-centric, without some overbearing ML messing things up.
It also helps a lot that, at least so far, the drama has real people playing real roles without some teenage plastic Idols pushed down our throats.
The flashback ending of Episode 5 was truly frightening, damm.
Exactly my point. Where's the intelligent, meticulous female lead we were promised? 🥹
Yeah, availability isn't the issue. I love the Female Leads with Smart+Calm tags (if they truly deserve them), but in the comments section someone described her as " brain dead, " so the jury is still out if I will ever try it.
Count me in to the "Tired of the hidden master and obsessed ML tropes" club.
But maybe I shouldn't - this was really a very good show.

What a legend. RIP.

There are also many working links at Dailymotion under the title "The price of the betrayal" (1:52 long)

And I hate almost every ML to make it simpler :).

Were you born yesterday? :).
Didn't you watch many MLs actively stalking and pestering female leads? I mean, they were showing their profound love, since they are MLs, lol :).

I recommend you "Are you the One?".
This would be the first (at least in the supposed "Power Couple").
I will have to check that one then. Thanks for mentioning it.
