The best way to an enemies to lovers, with the perfect blend of comedy and politics.
''hes willing to be my prisoner, and im willing to be his''
man where do i even begin? this drama was everything i was expecting and more!
story follows a ''cold'' general and the daughter of an enemy, the way they gain each others trust, their love and their happiness.
things i liked:
-chemistry:
LYN and SZ did NOT come to play man, their chemistry is on fireeee, their sparkly eyes, the safe hugs, uhg they're perfect!.
as for the characters, i love that just for the sake of their romance, they didnt make the ML fall for FL too quickly and vice versa, its a perfect kinda slow burn, i liked that they overcame their mistrust and suspicions before allowing themselves to fall for eachother.
-the FL:
manman is the best! i personally dislike when they make characters soooo smart or cunning to the point it looks like no force in the world can stop them. With manman, they showed you can be smart and clever but still make mistakes, what matters is how you overcome them. I honestly felt for her this entire drama, how unsafe she must've felt staying in an enemies house, until she made it her own and won everyone's heart, not with her schemes or a facade but with her genuine love and care.
-the ML:
for the first half of the show he is so dense oml, like never has a ml made my blood boil sm and then also made me love him so much. His trust for manman despite what her clan did to him was amazing, he wasn't quick to let down his guard but manman really showed him shes worthy of his trust. I love how they communicate the second something goes wrong, it really helped them see each others true colors and sincere hearts.
-the story/plot:
politics may not be the main focus but i felt like it was. It doesn't only show how corrupt just some court people can be for their own gain it also shows how war is a tragedy for everyone, especially the innocent, the aftermath and the duration or wars is cruel and almost always something loved is lost, people are forced to leave their homes and there is chaos everywhere, i think them showing that was great.
moreover, the pacing of this was just perfect, i usually find politics so boring in dramas, but this was the first time i was seated and fully enjoying everything, from the little villains to the ''final bosses'', it was so enjoyable for me and great''
-the comedy:
dont remember the last time i laughed so much while watching a drama! the comedic timing are great!! every characters has so much more to their personality which makes them soo likable! wei liang, the three others generals and xiaotao in particular!
-The OSTs:
its so catchy, the lyrics make me blush and cry they're so cute. LYN the man that you areee ðŸ¤ðŸ¤
weak point/things i didn't like:
(spoilers)
-THAT one very unnecessary character death, two actually. taking away a whole point for this.
-her pregnancy was really fast lmfao, i couldn't keep count bcz one episode she was preggo,next she was already showing and the next boom the babies here?? haha didn't take away anything from the show, jst wished they did that better.
fav quote:
''the man that i love was out there still fighting, i promised i would defend him, i couldn't go back on that, i love him, id give everything for him, if he wins ill stand by him, if he loses ill fall with him'' -best girl manman
overall:
it was perfect for me, watch this when ur in the mood for an enemies to lovers done right!
9/10, would 100000000000% recommend, its so worth the hype it gets.
