Really boring for most of it and a ridiculous ending
36 episodes at approximately 45 minutes each of a total bore fest.
Firstly, I was annoyed with the female lead for most of the show because she was whiny, very annoying and what made it worse was every time general Chilan appeared, she totally stole the scene and I couldn’t get it out of my head that she should’ve been our female lead.
I usually watch these shows in isolation but I had to look her up about 10 episodes in and realised she was a female lead in such shows as ‘skip a beat’ and although I gave it a poor review, I couldn’t deny the star power she brought in that show.
I didn’t like the forced skinship of our fl and ml because she had some weird cold disease. It was a lazy way to create chemistry between our male and female leads rather than an organically grown connection.
The young prince (2ml) following her around like a bad smell got very annoying, very quickly.
I really liked OG crown prince and he seems to have a lot of charisma and star power but was underused as much as general Chilan even though she appeared a lot more in the later episodes.
OG Crown Prince exit to move the plot forward felt flat and empty because he was a strong character and having long lost Qi bro being disguised as him for 10 years felt messy and nonsensical.
The story dragged on and had quite a lot of threads from the in fighting with the Qi people and the political intrigue within the Qian people. Problem is, by the end, none of these were resolved and were in fact, just totally ignored.
The main villain seemed to get away scot-free, which I actually didn’t mind because I didn’t really care about a happy ending for our leads to be honest.
Even the ridiculous ending where she was dead, but he used his Qi power to keep her alive was really flat and disappointing and rushed.
Bit of a shambles in the end. She had all his power and they lived happily ever fighting crime within the inspection bureau.
Easily forgettable.
