I wish her journey to general and beyond had made more sense. Claiming she has seen countless and plentiful battle was so untrue when she fought in all of two battles. In the big one after those statement she didn't even lead an army or fight.

thought about rewatching. but nah. it was really good but nothing worth rewatching. FOR ME...
as an afterthought...

if the drama had good fight scenes it may have been worth the rewatch. so much time at war but it was more comedy and Suzy homemaker than fighting.

MDL is not what it used to be. There are dramas that deserve more than 9 stars. POJ should be 6/7.

Same! I was able to finish this for the sake of closure, but also struggled to push through it.

yeah, it got downhill from the middle of entire episode, underwhelming war scene, some epic moment of the expected character not getting screen time, but glorifying fl in every little thing she does to the point of too much, im on 31 and really struggling to finishing it

I was expecting a character like Prince of Fated Hearts as the Marquis when I started watching it. Unfortunately we got to see none of it.

agree with this sm it’s like the director just wanted ppl to pair up so he did we didn’t really get to see anyone “fall” in love every couple was just super attractive and already 100% ready to commit to their partner lol

the marquis role was such a waste because in the novel he has a back bone and knows his priorities.. how can a general let his wife do whatever she wants in his military, the fl has crazy plot armer and the ml is just there to boost her character it feels like he’s a side character to her tbh we don’t even get any interaction of him growing up or with his uncle or any of his trama/revenge stories

The best and worst of Pursuit of Jade is the first 17 episodes. So much time was used on leads and their village life that none of the characters ever had any back stories. We never knew who they were or their motivations. I was not even able to know the names of most of them.

Even though this is a female lead oriented drama, we never got to see the real Marquis. He only came across as a dumb person with no acumen of strategy or basic common sense. FLs character was elevated to a stupid level that she is able to kill career military generals in 2 blows.

At the end, this is such a wasted potential. It could have been more. Rating 7/10

Who the fuck added fake to real lovers tag here in this drama? They were real lovers from the start

Whether it is in political sense or in war-field sense this drama is really weak .
It feels like Wind has blown in opposite direction this time on MDL instead of mass downvoting the show , there seems to be an upvoting .
I have seen enough of rating manipulation on MLD so it is nothing new ,
Romance and character development is good but backstory of many character lacks or maybe director failed to show in the way it should be .
I do not know if book is better or not but in drama depth is missing .
It is 8.5-8.7 max in my opinion .

Wth really why don't they just made a solo drama on FL without ML it was really laughable ML was a general and FL fight all the battle and ML just sit on horse they just made ML a side character it happened all the c drama i have seen that's why i never watch c drama but i heard this drama was good and see the rating was soo high so i give it a try
Same things happened in this drama also

FL was greater than ML as always in this drama ML was just for show and for romance nothing else c drama with women empowerment obsession is just soo high the only thing i like about this drama was starting 15 episodes was soo good and fluffy

I just drop this drama at 30 episodes things just don't make sense and look nonsense

what happened to you ZHU yu?!?!?!?! lesson for today: never judge a drama until you finish it!!! sigh. like other dramas, there will be withdrawal, like a drug you can't move on... but this, it leaves you feeling totally knocked-out and waking up to the worst hangover of your life. that's what it felt like to me. i just hope yours is different. lol.

Same. I really care about plot and hate when they fall off half way through. Which is a usual problem I’ve noticed with some of the newer Cdramas because they tend to focus more on casting good looking actors and a great start then they lose the plot later on or it just becomes meh.

Okay I just completed poj nd here's my two cents.
1. Less YQQ n QM would have been better. Some of their scns were completely unnecessary.
2. Idk why last 10 eps felt slow to me.
3. In some scns Ml seemed like a supporting character tbh.
4. Where was the angst and seperation arc after knowing the TRUTH of her father???

I really liked this one as a whole, one of the best Chinese dramas I have watched in a while. I would have given it a higher rating if it was not for the last few episodes.

They showed so many scenes and characters that were not that important, even showed us a "what if" in the post-credits but did not bother to show us their wedding (even tho the ML spent a big chunk of the drama promising her a proper one) nor show us their kids (only mentioning them right before the ending like it was just an afterthought).

If they did not reserve so much screen time for Yu Qian Qian and Qi Min (why are they even listed as supporting characters when they got almost as much screen time as the main leads?), maybe there would have been more time to show us what we REALLY wanted to watch.

I hate when I love a drama so much and then the last episodes are disappointing because now I do not leave this drama feeling the way I wanted. I wanted to be so satisfied with the ending and empty on the inside that no other drama would be able to fill this emptiness for a while. Unfortunately, that did not happen. T T

There were several things about the way things were wrapped up that I did not agree with or thought could have been done better but listing them all would take a while and would only make me feel even more disappointed than I already am and I want to remeber this one in a good light so I will stop here.
