I have watched the first 3 episodes and I am loving it. Cheng Lei looks so much better here (he also worked out/bulked up his body for this role...LOL). He and Song Yi have good onscreen chemistry, and she is a more convincing general to be. Lookng forward to finishing this new drama.
I hope this new drama with Cheng Lei is better than The Legend of the Female General. However, when I see Song Yi (the FL) here, I cannot imagine her as a military general role (I still remember her in Joy of Life and My Heroic Husband). She looked too sweet to be a general. Hahaha.
Somehow, I am struggling to finish this drama. I really like the main ML, Cheng Lei, but I am losing patience and interest in the FL. She is supposed to be a general but she's acting too cutesy around the ML. Sigh.... Perhaps I will just fast forward to the end.
I was told that it's all due to PLOT ARMOUR.... LOL. I still cannot believe the FL didn't at least work out or…
When I mentioned "bulk up", I didn't mean she should look like a body builder, but she should have firm muscles on her body, arms and legs (just enough & still look feminine). Even if she dresses in women's clothes, those several layers of silks can still manage to hide her body. Then, when she dressed up as a male, she will look convincing enough since she can show muscles. Anyway, this is just my opinion. I know the Chinese beauty standard for women is to look slim/skinny, so the actress must look like she is now.
the only annoying thing for me is that I can’t understand such a well trained and highly perceptive general…
I was told that it's all due to PLOT ARMOUR.... LOL. I still cannot believe the FL didn't at least work out or bulk up some muscles before doing the drama. She is too small to be a believable battle-worn general... hahaha
I wish Zhao Lusi the best of luck and success with her plans to sue her agency. After reading several posts from her side and her agency, I can see this is going to be a messy "divorce". Entertainment agencies will always have the power, control, connections, money and influences over their artists. I believe this is the same everywhere (Hollywood, Bollywood, Korea, Japan, etc., ) The agencies considers their artists as their product/commodity to make lots of money, and this is not new. Sigh... I really hope Lusi will get some really good and powerful assistance (legally, publicly, etc.) because I don't want to lose the pleasure of seeing her acting in future movies, films, dramas, etc.
This drama is so fun!! There are dramas that are simply enjoyable to watch and rewatch, and for me, this is one…
I agree with you about the story of the youngest daughter. I was sceptical after reading that she tends to beat her husband but after knowing all the back story, I believe he deserves it. hahaha. 😂 He’s spoiled rotten and needs discipline. 🤣😝So his wife kindly put him on a good path
what kind of comedy is this in ep 1, i like wang xing yu but this drama is not for me
I was like you before and I stuck it out to the end after reading a few comments about the drama. Just ignore the gaps in the story line’s plot and enjoy the drama 😊😊
I'm actually a late viewer to this wonderful drama. When I first saw this drama a few years back, I was not attracted to the premise - storyline or plot. Then in July 2025 one day out of boredom and curiosity I decided to watch the 1st episode, just for the main FL. And then, boom, I am hooked to the strange and unique storyline.
I started 👀 watching this drama last night and managed to last to episode 4. I find myself trying to stay on because I like both ML & FL. But I feel like I'm watching another Cdrama The Glory. Female lead gets thrown into dangerous crazy household and she must fight with her brain & wits to survive! Cool heartless ML known for his cruelty, etc... For me, The Glory was a tough drama to watch & complete, but in the end, it was good 👍. LOL. I hope this new Princess Gambit series is good too...
I tried and tried but I just couldn’t like this drama. I feel like the SFL (Seol In Ah) is overacting or just whining her roles. I like the rest of the cast, they are brilliant, even the dogs are great. The story doesn’t make sense. The labor lawyer is broke but he has funds to rent office, buy nice furnitures, finance a labor strike, money to buy audio & video equipment, food and drinks. how Lah??
I have watched this family historical drama up to episode 10, and even though I liked the family story and dynamics, I can’t stand the many male beatings and mental abuses the female leads did to the male leads. Off course, I don’t like the female beatings and verbal abuses by the males in these dramas. Anyways these unpleasantness are always in dramas anyway.
After the Prisoner of Beauty, I wanted to watch this drama with Liu Yu Ning in it. But then I cannot see him with another actress...hahaha...so I will go back and continue and finish The Journey to Love. He was great there too with that pretty assassin.
Sigh... I really hope Lusi will get some really good and powerful assistance (legally, publicly, etc.) because I don't want to lose the pleasure of seeing her acting in future movies, films, dramas, etc.
