13 mins into 1st ep and wow this is fun.

I have no clue what is going on but it’s intriguing and pretty to look at. 😍

eventually yes

It really is!! TY

I see there are voice actors credited on this but does anyone know if ML is dubbed by someone else? His voice is very deep.

I did not have much expectation but I really love this. Chang Lei is fine in more cheerful roles but he excels in edgy, dark ones like his role in My Journey to You. Here he gets to play a wide range and it’s impressive. Partner that with Song Yi and the result is very satisfying. Their scenes are riveting. Credit to the directing for catching the leads playing off each other and a good script that doesn’t let them down.

I just saw Sept 30!

Like the only thing these bad guys can do is bait traps.

I’m on ep 16 and the only thing happening is FL getting kidnapped to trap ML. So many times.

idk

I was pretty impressed with the writing and story here. FL does a great job looking surprised all the time but she’s got everything in hand. Good chemistry from the leads too. Very enjoyable between bigger budget long shows.

Ok I had some issues with this show early on mostly having to do with He Yan, who’s been masquerading as a man since childhood and a respected general, wasn’t very convincing when she joins as a new male recruit. And doesn’t know better to not wield a very sharp sword when drunk? Ah hem. That being said, I am now hooked this show. And that Ryan for using those eyes so meaningfully. They have each others backs in battle and everywhere else. Ep 30 killed me with the confession in front of everyone.

Well eww for accumulating a harem.

I think an alternate title could be “How Han Li avoids romantic entanglements” 🤣

While the romance is not the main focus there is absolutely a connection between the two. ML realizes his feelings a little before FL and even solicites help to confess (this does not succeed rather hilariously). Anway, you can skip some of the court politics if you want to see more romance. IMO this is one of the best power couples ever and totally worth watching those parts at the very least.

pu’er died tho 😭

I’m really into this. I just wish there weren’t so many women making big eyes at him all the time. I get it, he’s ridiculously handsome, but sheesh. Anyway, carry on.

So. much. fun. Also I recognized Lee Byung Hun's voice so that was a big lol for me.

While I found the concept to be intriguing I don’t feel the execution was effective. A fresh version of the second chance theme where FL gets a redo BUT now she’s the sister whom she plotted against and she has to navigate around her old self. Where the story falls short is the often confusing time lines and character inconsistencies. Towards the end, it seemed like the FL should understand her own prior motivations a bit better, but that girl was a hot mess. Like gets herself in the palace as a consort but still tries to insert herself with the ML cause she doesn’t want FL to have anything. lol. Not a bad watch while I wait for other shows to binge.

I’m glad I watched despite the majority of comments. It’s not the best but it’s short and not overly complicated. ML & FL are attractive and they have ok chemistry. Yes, there is a ton of misunderstanding and amnesia (maybe) that really could have been resolved for a decent ending. But I guess those hell bent on revenge, who believe every bad thing without actual facts, well, your end is going to be bittersweet.
