no one started it yet? lol I came to see what people think if its worth starting
I think enjoyment of any drama depends on the expectations going in. I randomly started episode 1 and am enjoying it for what it is- a fluffy, tropey romance driven drama that will prob be forgettable but not offensive? Hope they makes sense lol
Understand how you feel. Was watching coroner's diary. When they declared the ML as the god of war, my hubby &…
I didn’t want to mention any names but I can’t take Ao RoP seriously as a god of war. He was so adorable as WuJi in Blood of Youth & I feel that character suits him better.
How do you guys move on from Nan heng? I try to watch a new show but I can't stop thinking about him. And why…
Same! I tried to watch a new show that also had a crown prince but the ML just didn’t have the same screen presence or aura as Nan Heng. TBH, Song Mo (Blossom) & Wei Shao (PoB) & Nan Heng have raised the bar way up when it comes to portraying Generals or Royalty on screen lol
Guys does it get better?? i stopped watching After ep 12
It has a rating of 8.6 on MDL & Doubin rating of 7.0. A lot of people wrote reviews of it singing its praises & it’s getting lots of positive reactions on Weibo, X, Reddit, and Tik Tok. So if by 12 episodes ur still not enjoying it then it’s prob not ur cup of tea :)
Nan Heng was treated so awful by his family, friends, and people since childhood. He was exiled and guarded the…
Glad u pointed it out because it brings up the concept of nature vs nurture. The environment you grew up in can affect how you handle adversity & your own moral compass helps guide your choices in life. Nature & nurture are both just as important in shaping who you are as a person 👍 Speaking of compass- how does a person look like a compass??? 😆
The wedding scene between Shangguan He & Yi Ting was so sweet and the transition to YM helping NH dress was so good. I don’t know why but YM helping NH was so intimate to me. And holding hands to walk to the balcony 💕 ahhhh! They are so adorable
♾️/100!!! This unserious drama was able to make me feel so many emotions, especially those last few episodes. WOW! And the last episode with everyone playing a part in protecting Dajing- cheesy AF but I ate it up!! Those random dogs & itching powder & big bombs ! And the western movie bgm? The flashback of the friendship when they were kids? Just amazing all around ! This is how you end a show - not just giving us a happy ending but also satisfying ending where all the major/minor characters we’ve watched for 40 episodes received their own ending. This is def going in my top 5 drama list.
I am #1 defender of SYM. I really like her chaotic energy & I think every decision she makes might not be a popular choice but it’s the most logical choice for her with all the info she has. She’s just a normal modern gal looking out for her safety & her family’s so it’s frustrating that it’s taking her so long to trust NH but I’m really okay with it. It doesn’t bother me.
On another note, the emperor is still on s*** list BUT I’ve been enjoying his & NH’s awkward (and kinda sad) interactions. I like that NH keeps addressing him as “your majesty” even though the emperor really wants him to call him father. He’s going to have die for NH to get any sympathy from me !
ep 30- my gish the emperor did a U turn like he never hard his son. and the background music when he was doing…
I still hate the emperor. I’ve always liked NR. To me he’s pretty harmless so it’s good to see try to have a relationship with NH. It would have been hard to have a relationship with someone you thought caused ur mom’s death.
That’s why I really love SYM’a speech about taking responsibility for the deaths instead of blaming it on…
And that’s the difference between CGH & NH. CGH was born into privilege & lived in a certain kind of privilege because his aunt was the late empress & his dad was the general. He didn’t really have to work as hard as NH who had to rely on his own abilities to get where is now. Even his betrothal was already made for him. NH he may have had some backing from his uncle but everything he had to fight for. So now that CGH feels abandoned, he is becoming ruthless. Which ironically is what NH’s uncle wanted to for NH to become. I love the script writing so much !
Notice how CGH and his father actually had hope that NH would come save them😂😂. You put all hopes on a man…
That’s why I really love SYM’a speech about taking responsibility for the deaths instead of blaming it on NH. Like reinforcement may have helped but why would a good general put all his eggs in only one basket?? NH was able to defeat the larger army by being smart about his strategy. Can ‘t blame NH for their incompetence
