Wow
I have to admit that it's close to impossible for me to watch a full Chinese series without skipping or dropping it, no matter how great it is, the last show I remember that I managed to finish was the prisoner of beauty, and I skipped a lot while watching, I remember rating it less than it deserves cause I had a thing or two I didn't like.
Also I'm a serial binge-watcher "if that even make any sense lol" so I get bored when I watch a show while it is being aired.
But I guess I found the perfect formula to enjoy long Chinese series cause that's how I managed to finish and enjoy this show.
A couple of episodes every other day.
Now the real review, the beginning was very strong! I was really mesmerized by the FL she was so beautiful and of course the ML, the reverse damsel in distress was a nice touch, if it wasn't for the way they overdid it, I mean a butcher's daughter who can fight is one thing, but to kill a very strong worrier "a leader nonetheless" who is an expert during a war when she has always lived her life in a small countryside Is just a stretch, I could understand the whole saving the ML thing, but not that.
However, I loved her character, her stubborn personality, her relationship with the ML and their great love.
The whole fighting for power was boring to me, but it was well written so I have nothing to complain about, I knew this isn't my cup of tea from the beginning, and I was watching for the bits that I like so that's completely fine, I can't have my cake and eat it too.
The comedic relief was amazing, I had a few good laughs while watching specially in the beginning.
And the way everything ended was amazing.
One thing I didn't like but still couldn't decrease my rating was the Hypothetical scenario in the end where the massacre did not happen, I loved every thing about it except for the second couple "QianQian and QiMin" and how they ended their story, I mean I loved them together, I completely loved how they ended them in the original timeline, he deserves it, but the second scenario, I don't understand why couldn't they end it happily.
I still found it unnecessarily stretched like most Chinese shows, but again, it's what it is, I can't buck the trend ~~
Overall I think it was a good series, I recommend it for whoever likes the genre ~~
