It was probably a peak stupidity in this Drama, and it will end soon from what I remember. But it did already damage to the Ren Xin character (at last in eyes of the people who use their brain a bit), and there will be some other dumb things happening. Just not as dumb :)

Thank you for telling me to stay away from "The prisoner of beauty". Appreciate it :)

Ugh, another Drama with a supposedly strong and capable Female Lead, but somehow not strong or capable enough to stay Alive in her original life :(

Heh, and I thought I was harsh :)

Easy to find on youtube with Okay subs

I love 换亲后我顺便换了江山 ("After Changing the Marriage, It's Reasonable for Me to Change the Country") and check every week if they will make more Parts of it (Novel has 775 chapters, the 1st part of Drama finished around 140th Chapter, but with a decent Finish).

However, it's a micro/vertical drama, so you need to adjust your expectations to certain budget limitations.

Yet, Lu Songli is the most capable Female Lead I've watched or read about (at least in a non-Kung-Fu way), making former leaders in "Smart Female Lead" category like Minglan (from Story of Minlan) or Yingluo (from Yanxi Palace) look like incompetent fools :)

The Trailer looks worse IMO compared to the "ROFG", but then, the latter Trailer was a big, fat lie, so who knows how it will be in the end.

"Every time I was in danger, you showed up" - I can already see the FL switching between a badass female Lead and typical Damsel in Distress to be saved over and over again :(

Ugh, your post makes me super skeptical about it from my perspective - it sounds like the ML will be saving the FL over and over and over again...

Enjoy the Ride. And you can let me know if you liked it ;)

Yes, they were in his Household before the FL became his wife. And the concubines mostly will really like the FL :).

Well, there is a lot to choose from, but you have to be ready that as much as badass the FL will be, she also always will be weaker than ML (unless he is supposed to be weak).

Personally, I liked "Who rules the world" the most, as the writers protected the FL character there much better than in "Journey to Love for example".

From short dramas, the FL in "Qingchuan's Veil of Vengeance" is just incredible.

From microdramas, The FL in "Queen of Battlefield" is equally fantastic.

All 3 Dramas have Happy Endings as well.

No idea, my account was created a few days ago though.

Whoa, it looks very interesting, apparently the same director from the "Veil of Vengeance" as well. Will definitely check this one soon...very soon :). Thanks.

I remember there were more cross-dressers there, and I was struggling to follow who is who, plus not much kungfu action with Cynthia Khan as expected. I even have "Gigantic disappointment" in my notes :)

"Lingnan Medicine Hero" aka 岭南药侠 (2003) was decent with her though, and if you like silly comedy with kickass female lead, you can try "A Scholar meets Soldier" aka 秀才遇着兵 (there are two versions, from 2005 and 2007)

Also, for a long time I have "Incisive Great Teacher" aka 犀利仁师 (2014) on my Watchlist, but never started it, seems like KungFu comedy with Liu Shishi.

No cross-dressing in the last two paragraphs though, but "Scholar meets Soldier" has some struggles for a woman trying to work as a Magistrate Security.

Also, there is a 2-season-long Mulan Drama on YT that I wanted to take a look at one day, I think it's "The Story of Mulan" (2013)

I still have a few to watch, but after watching one old version with Cynthia Khan I kind of lost interest, as it was horribly bad ;)

You can watch Mulan Dramas on YT with English subtitles, although they are not recent.

There was also a relatively new Drama (adventure type I think) with a very nicely done woman crossdressing as man (and the ML was a doctor/healer I think), but not sure about the title now.

I will definitely check this one when the time comes. Ma Qiu Yuan's well-deserved rise from microdramas to full productions seems very interesting to follow.

Well deserved, even if I will miss her in microdramas, which recently has became my favourite ones.

The FL here is possibly the most badass FL lead in C-Drama ever, partially because ML is too weak to save her over and over again, which typically happens to push Romance forward.

Thankfully, the ML here is much weaker, so the writers couldn't go this route.

If you don't mind watching Microdramas, you can check "Queen of the Battlefield" with another badass (plus, composed and intelligent) Female General.
