Review from 3years ago. Lol!

Lol. The drama that finally made me sign up for an acc at MDL (instead of just reading anonymously before)

First thing first, as someone who I dare say have watched a lot of chinese series, i have serious issues with the way the writer wrote how the characters behave in the setting of ancient times. No protocol whatsoever. Lots of times, i cant even brain if the writer forgot that she was currently writing an ancient historical drama, instead of modern. Lol

But after I decided to forego that aspect, it was more tolerable. I enjoyed the series for the romance. At first, it was the romance between Junqing and FL that keeps me going. And after the FL went on her own merry way for revenge, I have already invested (after spending so many hours watching the first half, am not going to just easily dropped the drama. Lol. Thats so me).

Came across this drama via mindless search. Watching the first ep, I discovered the ML is quite familiar and found that he is from handsome siblings,so a point to continue on. His acting is good, though im sure some will have issues with him being labelled as god of war with that cute handsome face of his. Lol. The romance between him and FL for first quarter of the story is basically what every fans would love to see (even though YMW’s fringe at first seriously need to go! I prefer when she only has sideway fringe rather than the full fringe). Ye Jun Qing is such a swornworthy character!

Unlike some viewers, I have already accepted from the start that Junqing fell in love for the second time with YMX again (in YMW’s body), so it doesnt disturb me that he ends up with her (though YMW is quite pitiful for not being able to live. Alas, we didnt know her at all actually from the storyline, it was always yao mo xin from the very start)

The storyline is all over the place sometimes, though after reading the comments, now i know it is to be blamed on having to cut the series from 70eps to 36. Despite that, it is still worth watching to the end for me. I even end up rewatching quite a lot of scenes and somes of my favourite almost always involve the scenes where ye jun qing gets hurt and boy, did he get hurt often! Lol. Sometimes, i even laugh on how junqing always end up being a damsel, what with him always getting hurt/stabbed/poisoned etc. 🤣🤣 Nonetheless, being a whore for ML whump, this is just my cup of tea! 🥰🤣

Jun Qing’s bromance with jinyi is a nice touch, as with ben lei. Though I think i must have missed how exactly did jinyi and junqing end up such a buddy in the first place? 🤔🤔

Notable mention of something that i feel the need to get off my chest:
-did the emperor wants Jun Qing to die or not??! Make up your mind please! Lol
-the most useless prime minister ever in the history of historical drama. How the heck did he got the position being such a wuss??
-Li Fei is such an annoying character, though I guess props to the actress
-whats wrong with all the women who love/fancy junqing. Shu Fei has already married the emperor, but still expect junqing to be with her?? At least mo wan has the excuse of being the love of junqing’s life. Lol. Princess Chang Feng is cute at first with her lil puppy love, but end up annoying in the middle when she forces junqing to love her despite knowing all along that she is the one offering to save him and he would never love her, but end up redeeming herself at the end after she ‘wakes up’ from dreaming. Lol


Notable good things:
-the action and fighting scenes are quite well done to my opinion. I always love seeing Ye Jun Qing fight scene
