battleaxe

far as i'm concerned this is still the best male centric drama this year, lmao it was so entertaining!

watching tang lici and the annoying red harp girl battle ep after ep after ep after ep in a shower of cherry blossoms. she traps him, he claims to be the greatest on earth, they fight, she runs away, rinse & repeat 🥴😬

i'm gonna need to see pu zhu and fang zhou side by side at some point bc damn. ik they're not the same person, but my eyes and mind keep playing tricks on me

visually stunning, narratively dry

idk i liked him, and which one of them doesn't have plot armor? heh

i've never seen her in a modern before so i'll check it out, also a mid and short length drama airing at the same time? get your coins queen

good ending this time pls! this 2fl actress must have great mgt bc she's in everything

the actress is good i hope to see her in more things, the actor is underwhelming, as he has been recently. maybe he's overworked? but i really liked both of their styling and outfits they legit looked like well off people. also the location looks nice, especially the outdoor shots

lol right? took tang lianyue exactly one evening to get with the program. wonder where he wandered off to

yea he's himself most and the most relaxed when he's with her. but romantically he's also a dunce so the girl needs all the good luck she can get

chang he knew rebellion was brewing back home and he still spent all that time glued to mu yu's side? oh he's down bad

they are dead set on capturing the main actor's sizeable bl fanbase hence all the queerbaiting heh

at all, he was such a cruel man

bhh raised a spider for him bc she saw yumo raise one for him? sigh. hate to see you doing all that for a man girl, but i hope all your efforts pay off

awww su mu yu dreams of an ordinary life, and i like how bai he huai just gives him that, but its all so fragile 😫

another of my favourite scenes is when mu yu picks up baili dongjun's scroll in wanjuan tower and goes 'what if you know everything about him? he's still number one you (the weaklings) can't beat him' then scoffs and drops it without opening it. so classy, even when no one's watching

now wait a minute!
yi bu is yi wen jun's father?? the one that imprisoned her then married her off to the prince that sa'd her?? oh i hated him so much in dy!! he's not as hateful here though he's just pathetic. did all that to his daughter just to end up like this, what a dummy. its nice to get closure on his character though

i saw the trailer today, it was really lovely!

yes it becomes obvious after a while

i can't stop staring at tlc's elaborate outfits so i randomly went to go look it up and would you know it, its the same costume designer as tteom. iktr aunty!
