Nana

I believe he is very possessive and he really wants her, but he is not the unhinged type, he controls his emotions very well, he is trying to give her space but let her go is not in his plan at all, he even already set her to be adopted by his teacher without even waiting for her forgiveness, so this patience from him is just a temporary facade, he is very much catching her with his net.

I meant sidekick because I felt like the knife had such a personality that felt alive, I wish it could stay with her, but I agree she needs perhaps a spear

No, I already feel this drama is fast paced, just embrace the immersion. People are getting addicted to those 15 min vertical dramas and are forgetting how to enjoy storytelling.

For real, the knife was her sidekick

One of very very few good female x male war fight in cdramas, you could tell she didn't win by strength but by agility and strategy, the actress pulled that off, her expressions gave the "I'm using all my power here and this giant bear will kill me if he lands a hit", very satisfying to watch!

Totally agree.

Enough to hear the general explain the prisoner is very important and be asked to deliver weapons before talking with him and she deliberated hides a weapon to execute a plan from her head even having received the warning from the general, so don't come with "she didn't know better" excuse, she is not dumb and she understood enough to hide a weapon and scheme. She knew what she was doing.

I'm tired of the "woman in the army acting without orders and ml getting punished in her place" trope. Can't we have a woman in a war cdrama that does not act pushed by emotions and rebellious will earning a lucky merit in the end? Can't we have a woman that regulates her own emotions and know how to act with responsibility? Why the portray of woman in cdramas are always the infantilized innocent, the crazy jealous, the seductive fox, or the unhinged Mulan? I'm just tired boss!

Exactly, the "you are my family now" curse

I'm already prepared to suffer with her gang of boys after today's happy scenes.

I skip all their scenes, not interested at all

Not another wuxia...

I want to watch it because I like literally everyone on the cast but seems it does not have English translation, does anyone have a link to a subtitled version?

I knew they would throw amnesia plot somewhere, to put it in the final episode was daring! Lol they are crazy, the only trope missing was the cancer but this they usually give to melodramas

This is the typical 2025 ML, a man so simp that looks like has no personality at all and is just there to be the cannon fodder for the FL. What a terrible time, I cannot believe some people find this truly entertaining...

Sorry I don't like her actingwise, always the same characters and expressions (or lack of it).

Daddy issues + inferiority complex

Right? I have studied a lot about fire control and fires in urban buildings to and how it affects people to make a public service's exam and I couldn't keep my brain quiet lol totally fantasy, they both would die in real life in those conditions.

Those fire scenes we need to remember it is a fantasy and turn off the brain. With how long he was in that room he would never survive, least to wake up like nothing happened. His linger would have been burned by the hot smoke. You die by breathing that much smoke in 5 minutes, the FL would been dead too, with that much smoke you can't find your way and get lost easily, she was running without smoke mask so she would have breathed enough smoke to die too.

Oh, I'm still in the middle of the episode, looking forward to this scene you described
