I feel satisfied at the end. The only irritating death was Susu's because it was her pure idiocy to remain with a mentally unstable woman when she had her father's and sister's house. Other than her other deaths, even the likes of Silly Tiao's were sad but understandable. I really dislike deaths that only are there to make the audience suffer.
Good review! I dropped after ep. 9 but you're very right about the imbalance between the hardened general and romance lead. It was as if she had double personality, one is a girl who'd lived as a boy all her life along with military men and is a war veteran, the other side is Hu Yan who looks and acts like she's been posing as a man for 2 days.
Acting all clumsy and having physical , romantic moments with XJ all the time. I wonder how her cover wasn't blown up in the first week.
Ohh, thanks. I knew Reincarnation and Transmigration were banned in dramas but I thought it's more about feudal beliefs and such than this things. I don't believe in them myself so I don't mind if they change them to more convenient things in adaptations.
Rare critical comment but I really dislike the illogicality of NXX lying about getting raped by bandits and marrying…
My problem is that she didn't looked like a gang r***d girl. She was disheveled alright, by going around in the forest and staying out in snow but not that....
The Producer failed to get anyone else, be it a younger or older, plain-looking or gorgeous actress in the whole…
I've been wondering about this too. Her last main role is for 10 yrs ago and she's been acting now and then. I know it's just a daily in a low rating time slot but still they could get someone better. There are several actresses whom I've seen in both heroine and villainess roles and even with worse plots they were far better.
I still find it hard to believe that Chairman would go for someone like Lucia. It would be quite alright if it was a melodrama about mature love and such but in Makjangs normally very young and pretty glamorous girls would catch the attention of older men for revenge. 🤷🏻♀️
I pity Wendian and SuSu so much, they were tricked into everything in their marriage. Marriage, consummation and…
At least the pregnancy was a false flag. When doctor said it's irregular and SIL kept urging him to confirm it, I was thinking it's a fake one. That's good...
I pity Wendian and SuSu so much, they were tricked into everything in their marriage. Marriage, consummation and pregnancy, I hope they can get away from that well meaning 😒 SIL!
I watched until ep. 9 but I'm not really motivated to continue. The story is all over the place and even though her face can be masculine her male disguise is super fake...
Currently on episode 3, given they showed Marshal Xiao was quite close with He Yan and even gifted her the twin sword of Jue's, also He Yan and Jue being at the Academy together I had the impression that they were close too. At least close enough to know each other's characteristics but Xiao Jue doesn't show the barest recognition or doubt of having seen her before.
