You say "hater" about them, they say "blind or sheep fandom" about you.

I already know one mistake I did - I shouldn't have started "Flourished Peony" so soon after finishing "Blossom", as they have very similar FLs,

As great as both of them are, I should let myself digest the latter Drama first.

I never watched anything with her until now, but just finished watching "Flourished Peony" - what a great performance by her.

I always had in my plans to watch "Battle of Changsha", but now, knowing she is there as well, I really need to finally do it.

Just when I was hoping for a Cool Drama about the prettiest badass female assasin ever, then I read about nonsense like that. Ugh.

So, help needed - some time ago, I watched a clip on YT from the Drama with Wang Chu Ran about the Palace/Harem intrigues - I think Empress/Imperial Consort got poisoned, Empress Dowager was leading the inquiry. and Wang Chu Ran proposed a solution to find a perpetrator by looking for marks left by the poison visible only under some kind of substance/herbs.

Does anyone know what Drama it was? Nothing from her career works really fits.

Yeah, when I hear people calling anyone decent looking "beautiful", I kind of think "beautiful? The FL's cousin in "Oh my General" was truly beautiful. Then, I check how her career developed since then... and boom!!!

I hope to watch "Are you the one" soon.

I have to admit that my favourite scene was actually a non-military one, when the FL was trying to motivate the ML to start his official career, and the MIL was walking in, but after listening to it on the outside, she went back home very happy.

I also really liked the FL's Sister in Law, virtuous wife with great kung fu, sounds like a very interesting combo :)

Agree on both fronts.

With the horse right fide, after so many watched movies/Dramas. I was actually caught in thinking, "Did I ever see it before"?

I wonder what the odds are of ML once again saving the FL at the start of the next episode?

I FFed a lot during 27-28, but the Tavern fight was really nicely done.

"Romance must go on"

Agree, that's a big issue for me as well.

I could overlook many weaknesses if the Drama would bring some emotions or deeper thoughts ouf of me.

Unfortunately, "ROFG" feels extremely flat.

It's the Emperor decree, not something which can be turned down.

Thn for the info - novel focusing on the FL makes me actually more interested in reading it.

"Blossom" is an excellent show on its own, worthy checking out (episodes 1 and 5 are amazing, so either you will be hooked or just know it's not for you)

She is smart enough to know why is this happenings and that it's a long game. What do you expect her to do right now? Beat Mr Chu?

You say "foodie", I see "glutton", it's usually a huge turn-off for me actually :)

But once again, thanks for a detailed recommendation.

Thanks for the recommendation. Didn't have a chance to watch it yet and I hate Amnesia (especially if it's about strong FLs who suddenly have to re-invent themselves), but it still seems quite interesting.

Yes, it does :)

Thanks. I don't use Viki or any other paid streaming service, but I found a good ones elsewhere after all.

Regading the 2nd season - not sure if I will be watching it immediately, have some Micro Dramas on my wishlist first.

Minor thought - I started to watch a "LOFG" a few days ago, along with the "Flourished Peony". Badass Female Lead in Action Drama seemed much closer to my taste than Female Lead cultivating Peonies, but now - I feel absolutely nothing watching "ROFG" (maybe, except for disappointment during Damsel in Distress moments), and yet I'm obsessed with finding better subtitles for "Flourished Peony" following Episode 29, enjoying immsensely the FL's life ups and downs.

Sometimes, C-Dramaland leads to weird places and conclusions.

BTW, the fact that "ROFG" has a bit higher rating compared to "Flourished Peony" is a travesty of gigantic proportions.
