Heng ar! Why so loveable?!
Ah, Nan Hang! Nan Heng! A misunderstood undervalued pure-hearted wronged constantly chewed m-by-his-father trapped-between-a-sadistic-father-evil-uncle-and-a-silent-mother prince and general who meets a passive aggressive violent self-centered foolish woman as if he needs more drama and more troubles and more violnt behaviour in his life.
Poor Heng!
Poor poor Heng!
And what is with all the passive aggressive female leads in most chinese dramas?
Can someone be more scheming and cruel and ruthless and violent than SYM?
She calims to trust and love LShL but thteatens him into her assassination scheme!
She has no sympathy for anyone, she doesn't care about anyone but herself, and she treats everyone as if they are her toys.
But I managed to watch to end despite hating SYM beacuse of all the other charcters and the story.
I'd definitely liked it beter if NH would have stopped chasing after SYM around episode 23 when she trampled on his heart.
She never really appreciated NH's feelings or thanked him properly for his help or tried to understand his feelings or looked at the situation from his eyes.
So the positive points of this series is good acting, funny characetrs, excellent costumes and make up, very nice music, and Nan Heng's strong attractive sad character! 😉
I enjoyed FG and NR very much as well.
I wished the emperor to die in all the endings but NH was too protective of the father who had mistreted him most cruelly all his life. The only thing I didnt like about NH's character was that it seemed to me he was addicted to being mistreated and looked for a woman who was a mixture of his abusive father and ignoring mother.
Still I'd rewatch ADWD anytime.
