Kaptan

Overall, it was a good series. I enjoyed watching it. However, there were aspects I didn't like and found faulty. Zhou Ye's female general character, in particular, despite having been a general twice, and having started from scratch in the military the second time, her casual behavior belied her previous status as a general. Her petty actions towards General Fengyun, forgetting she was a soldier, were unbecoming. You've been a general before, and you start as a private, and you have no actions that would indicate you've been a general before. How could such a thing happen? Then she defeats her opponents in combat. They understand that she's used a sword, a spear, and a bow, but she doesn't have a military presence. So, I don't understand why the scriptwriter created such a negative character. I think she should have been more dignified, upright, and had more presence. Okay, I understand she'll portray herself as a rookie. She might have feelings for the general. I agree. But I don't think this is the character of someone who has served as a general before, participated in wars, and been successful. So, the personality analysis is flawed. I saw the same thing with Zi Lan. This character changed character several times throughout the series. He was evil, then became good, then had psychological problems before and was afraid of fire. He has a story with his mother. He constantly acts with her in mind. However, I found it strange that such a person would kill someone without blinking an eye. Similarly, he would make the girl he was keeping with him do this. And these two make observations about people. You kill people, and then you talk about the good things. And the girl is a loser. She had a pathetic personality before. So, both characters have failed to find themselves, have psychologically damaged structures. These characters later become good. They kill their teacher, let's say, causing his death. They cause a rift between two lovers. Then they start a war with a rival country. The King listens to a character raised by a rebellious, treacherous Prime Minister. He appoints her as Vice Prime Minister. Just as he's about to appoint Prime Minister, he realizes his mistake, reverses his mistake, and puts this personality to the test. This person suggests to the King that General Fengyun, whom he highly respects, and General Feihong should not marry. This king, despite being particularly close with General Fengyun, separates them without consulting her or even consulting General Fihong. He annuls the marriage and attempts to marry the female general to Zilan. There's a character flaw here, too. In other words, the screenwriter deliberately made the characters characterless and then had them corrected. It didn't work for me. He followed the wrong path, making this king imprudent, for example. He nullified two generals who fought great battles for the country. He acted as if they were null and void. He belittled them. Then he said, "We made a mistake. Let's find the right path." These things didn't work. Unfortunately, I'm giving the series a 7.5, which I was going to give an 8. Despite it being a series I liked, I'm giving it this rating because of the scriptwriter's misguided approach.
I liked the chemistry between the leads. I liked their acting. Despite Zhou Ye's obvious flaws in the action scenes, and at times, he flew and dodged as if he were swinging on a swing, I found it successful. I found Zhang Kang Le and Bai Shu particularly good. Zhang Miao Yi, Li Qing, and Rao Jia Di (young actriss) were the actors who caught my attention. I recommend watching it for those who haven't watched it.
