There was originally 40, but 4 episodes got cut. And the actor who originally played her ex had a scandal which was cleared up around September of 2025 I think but by that time they had already used AI to replace him so it was too late.

While the last few episodes didn't really make sense in terms of logic and other sci-fi related things I'm deciding to overlook it because of how satisfied I with the happy ending that we got for the romance aspect of things. Also the fact that there were 0 loose ends was pretty satisfying. Overall a 9.5/10 for me. It served it's purpose of brightening up my weeks with it's good comedy and romance.

I absolutely loved this drama so much, it's amazing!! But I'm a bit confused about the ending of the last episode... were those two kids playing in the military camp tent thing Xie Yan Lai and Cu Zhao's kids?? It makes the most sense that they are, but it seems kinda random to just add a clip of them playing with no other plot connected to it at the last 1 min of the show. I still love it though, 10/10 from me.

yeah makes sense. I will still continue watching for WCR, but I just hope theres a lot fewer scenes with the ex because these badly edited scenes are just giving me a headache atp!

Yes, that's one of the main reasons I was happy when they announced the release date for this drama. I've been missing the olden vibes in dramas from the 2010s and so far this is pretty similar to that vibe i feel so nostalgic about.

Update: I finished the episode, and it really only seems to be the scenes with the ex that are all weird. He seems photoshopped in through a greenscreen every time he's on screen. I'm assuming that there was a different actor originally, but after production and editing, there was a scandal regarding the actor for her ex, which is why it got so delayed, and they spent all this time poorly photoshopping in this replacement. If anyone knows the reason why all of these scenes with this guy are weird, please respond because it's really affecting my ability to enjoy the show.

I'm 30 minutes into the first ep and for some reason I'm still not hooked yet. But that aside, WHAT THE HELL is going on with the scene between FL and her current bf??? It's so obvious he's been photoshopped into the scene! He's sm bigger than FL in terms of camera dynamics, the audio is choppy, and the camera quality is really low. The photoshop job is also really badly done if I'm being honest. I've been the biggest fan of WCR since FOMH and have been waiting for this drama to come out for years, but if the rest of the show is going to be like what I've witnessed so far... idk how I'm gonna be able to watch 40 episodes of it.

so if my Google Translate is right... express on the 17th?

Just found out it's FINALLY getting released. I really thought we're never seeing this one. I know it's gonna be so good and nostalgic because it was made so long ago, and im so excited for it!

I would like to say that 95% of the longing gazes are in private, but I totally agree with everything else you're saying. I guess I just like to turn my brain off when watching dramas like this so I don't really care if some small things like this dont really add up. Especially since we're being fed with this amazing chemistry between the leads.

I was wondering the same thing! Someone in another comment a while ago said it's a younger version of himself that he hallucinates, but I'm not sure if that's true because he has a different name.

Yes! During the court scenes, I need a lot of context or for someone to call them by their name sometimes before i figure out who's who lol.

They give me the typical vibes of a toxic couple w a sad ending, but I don't know how they would play that out with only 13 episodes left...

Oh... well I hope they keep it to a minimum of 2 episodes then. This drama is WAY too short to have a long break-up arc.

I think they're getting a bit of a pass rn bc of the fact that he's the commander of the imperial army and also very obviously under her command because he used to literally be her private guard before, due to her father's orders. But it is also just a lot of plot armour for them.

I have watched up to episode 10, but based on the previews for 11 and 12 i think theres gonna be a breakup arc soon.... can someone who's read the novel lmk if im right or if it's just my ptsd from other dramas

Also the foreshadowing with his mom saying "shes a nice girl"

Yes!! So glad someone else sees it because the second she was in his courtyard i knew they were gonna be the toxic second leads lmao.

I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THEM OH MY GOD. I also did NOT expect that kiss, so it's safe to say I was literally screaming when that happened. Although this 1 ep a day airing schedule works for me due to exams, my soul demands and cries for more eps to watch lmao.

I agree it's not very amazing or over-the-top, but I definitely wouldn't say the budget was low enough to consider it a short drama. Because those long short dramas are typically VERY bad with these things, and the plot is usually horrible with a lot of loose ends, and this just doesn't look like that to me.
