I really enjoyed this. For me, there was a little too much of the 2nd Jun family branch extra drama but I do admit that everything tied back together very well in the end. SWL made quite an impressive Wolf Lord in both look and stature. He hit all the emotional notes for me and the chemistry with Angelababy was good. This may be my favorite drama on ‘25 because I totally was not expecting it. The last fight scene was poorly executed but otherwise I felt the production was very well done.
I enjoyed this quite a bit after zero expectations. Leads have decent chemistry (the kiss in ep 20 is 🔥) and there is a bit of plot to work with. FL has moments of really naive decisions (end of ep 22 into 23) where I am like ??? But, like a decent mini there isn’t too much side story.
How was the princess royal? I have been holding back to watch, was it anything similar to this serie?
It’s only similar that 2ml gets too much screen time and way too much empathy from FL. If you can ignore that part, it’s a decent historical idol drama.
I’m not gonna lie, this show proves I will watch this couple in any ridiculous production. lol. How they escape a coffin and other ludicrous scenarios including several deaths is absurd. Some of the acting is over the top and breaking the 4th wall is an odd choice. The 1st prince and main villan look too similar so when they face swap, I am confused. But, these two leads are 🔥. She’s a general that sometimes kicks ass and other times easily restrained as needed by the script but FL is all in for whatever. ML has the figure and looks the part of soldier/CP. Kissing scene in the tall grass is 🔥
if you can get past the strange orange eye makeup of FL (it gets better in later episodes) and somewhat jumpy editing, this is a delightful mini drama. LZH never disappoints and his styling here is really beautiful. He also delivers some 🔥kisses tho a little more chest/abs would be great. Seriously, these actors keep themselves in incredible physical shape for 5 seconds of screen time. This is shameful. lol. I digress.
FL is smart to the tricks and there aren’t misunderstandings to drag things out.
