Chinese dramas have a lot of kisses. And The Double also have some kisses in the drama. Yes other costume dramas…
I think you misunderstood my statement. I said there were no kisses for most of the show. Which means there were kisses now and then, just not many. I also said that despite that, the romance was wonderful and heart-fluttering. To me, this show proved that even without many passionate kisses, if the leads have amazing chemistry, the romance will be great.
He already crossed the bridge of love 4x with 4 different ladies. He’ll be fine 😭
Yes, but where else is he going to find another heir like Xiao Jue??? You would think that with 4 ladies, he could at least get one...I guess he's the one with the "weak physique" 😂
I started this drama just yesterday, and I was so engrossed that I’m already fully caught up—it was well worth sacrificing some sleep.
Even before the romance has truly begun, I’m already captivated by the main couple and their undeniable chemistry. The fight scenes are awesome to watch, and I appreciate how the show has given both the female and male leads equal moments to shine.
Of course there is the visual appeal to consider as well. There's something about Cheng Lei's stares that draws me in, and Zhou Ye is gorgeous whether she's bare-faced in her military outfit or adorned with all the feminine accessories. Would I really believe that she was a man in real-life? Probably not but this is dramaland, so let's just suspend some disbelief and enjoy the show.
The second potential couple is simply adorable, adding a charming contrast to the main storyline.
While I noticed some valid criticisms in the comments, much of it seemed rooted in comparisons between the novel and the adaptation—something I’m glad I can avoid since I haven’t read the source material.
For me, this drama has been very enjoyable so far, and I’m excited to see where the story goes next.
After watching the Korean and Chinese versions, I am familiar with the storyline but I still found the Japanese adaptation refreshing and engaging. I love that even though this version is more fast paced and shorter, I t kept all my favourite scenes like the one with the hospital bed and the “I changed my mind about doing laundry” ones.
Like everyone else, I’m baffled by the low ratings. I started this morning and already binged all 4 episodes. GSY and KJY are gorgeous to look at and all the characters are very likable at this point! The show has such a healing vibe and I love the potential of romance among the leads.
I really hope the ratings will pick up in Korean and get more attention internationally 🙏

😅 He Yan's face when XJ told the Jiyang soldiers not to waste time, just all 10 men at once.
