WM

Her profile picture is really beautiful, and she looks really good in the "Queen of the Battlefield". Also, to my amateur eye, she actually looks like a decent actress (at least playing a villainess). I would love to watch her in different roles.

As I've dropped it after Episode 3, I have a question - what is the current count of "ML saves FL"? It was ridiculous at two after only three episodes :).

How dare you using logic and critical thinking ???

You should blindly follow fandoms like a sheep and throw 10/10 left and right.

After big battle in Episode 12, episodes 13-16 (from what I remember) were one big FF for me.

Yes, she doesnt need to wait for her men, except all the times when the ML was saving her in the end ;)

At least for me Trailer lied. A lot.

Overall, highly recommended if you are a fan of capable FLs and enjoy Microdrama despite its obvious limitations.

Well, I found the opening episode to be very boring, just as the new few ones.
Currently, I'm stuck at Episode 9 and so far, only Wa Chu Rang beauty is keeping my interest (but I admit, her scheming slowly gets bette).

???

Even if Novel is bad, Amnesia trope is worse :)

Especially for badass Female Leads, as it's one of the cheap ways to make them look less powerful than they could be ;(

Thank You. So I can already count one negative change :(

After re-watching it and re-checking the storyline in the Novel as well, I finally found ONE SINGLE moment, when the writers had to lower the otherwise brilliant FL's IQ for a few minutes/chapters, as otherwise she would have had the main villain killed by the Emperor's burial list 650 chapters before the end .
However, the way it was presented, the Emperor partially overlooked things as well. I guess the writer either didn't think it through properly or didn't have a better idea how to appoach it with perfect sense.

Typically in Dramas, similar brainfarts happen much more frequently either to push the storyline forward or keep the villains alive, even with the strong and smart FLs like Minglan or Yingluo.

The FL here is really well protected by the writers, and the above moments are barely noticeable. And the Novel is incredibly thought-provoking, if someone enjoys the mental gymnastics of making the best decision possible among the available ones.

Question for a novel reader - for how long did the FL have amnesia there?

Well, "Prisoner of Beauty" has Liu Yu Ning as the ML. In my eyes, there's no chance for a serious Drama being great with a lead like him. But at least music could be.

Yeah, it's so great that the Legendary Female Assassin was trying to get pregnant during super important mission. It was one of the dumbest things I ever seen in Dramas I've watched, and one of the ideas that really brought down Ren Xin character in my eyes.

Well, the finish to the 1st episode had the previously amazing FL getting stabbed and poisoned, one of the most overused tropes in Dramas if the FL is supposed to be a "Badass Female Lead" - writers and directors always make sure she wouldn't be too badass - we wouldnt want her to be better than ML, wouldn't we?

But I agree that overall the 1st episode was excellent, from my memory only "Blossom" had a stronger one.

Edit: After thinking it through, "Princess Agents" opening episode was also very good, as well as "Song of Glory".

Yes, this is the one. And yes, the FL is transmigrator (Lawyer in Drama, Sales representative in the Novel - I'm struggling to decide which fits her better).

Too many of them :)

Officially, its " 换亲后我顺便换了江山" aka "After Changing the Marriage, It's Reasonable for Me to Change the Country" (very fitting title), but if you want to watch it, Dramabreak has a nicely translated version on YT under a title "Used, Betrayed, Married to Power - Her Rise Was Just Beginning" (3:32 long).

Just a reminder - It covers only the first 140 chapters out of 775, but the ending is clear enough not to feel disappointed. And I've read that the 2nd Part is supposed to be filmed in September. Not a surprise, as the YT comments were hugely enthusiastic (and Douban's weren't too bad either, it also has an MDL profile).

And yes, if you can live with Microdrama limitations, it's a must-watch for capable FLs.

I've realised a few more things:
1) "Fighting for Love" - I've seen recommendations of the Novel before as having a great FL, and the synopsis of the Drama sounds very good as well, but I've heard that it is seriously underwhelming. I still have it saved to watch, though, on my list as "A Mai Joins the Army"
2) "Kill me, Love me" - it looks like I've tried to watch it before, actually, as it has an actress from the "Yanxi Palace" and "The Double" as the FL. However, I think I've lost interest, seeing how easily she was defeated during the 1st episode mission.
3) There are a lot of things I disliked about "Journey to Love", but unless I watch Indonesian movies, I rarely complain about brutality :). Here, I've had issues about a lack of villains, the ML being too perfect and overall, more powerful than FL (inexcusable in a Drama built and advertised around Liu Shishi), also, there were too many situations when I was thinking "How did Ren Xin become Legendary Assassin and was able to stay alive before meeting ML?". And on top of it, her desire to get pregnant during the big mission was seriously one of the most stupid things I've ever seen in a Drama, especially from someone who supposedly should be smart, capable and resourceful enough.
