I'm the same with both Kdramas or Cdramas. I'm finding that kdramas have gone down a lot in storylines. But that's just my opinion. I can't stand any drama where the FL is dumb or a doormat with no backbone or with a childish voice. So cringe and I sometimes find it disrespectful to women in general. Sometimes I drop a drama halfway and then depending on the reviews, I might pick it back up again or be glad that I dropped it. I find that Cdramas are mostly good in the beginning too but then the plot gets overwhelming or lost and then it's rushing to finish.

I know, I hate drunken kisses especially when women are drunk. I don't mind the cliché drunk scene where the woman is drunk and is about to kiss but then just falls on his shoulder or the guy pulls her away knowing she's drunk. But we finally get a good kiss scene and Changyu is drunk. I think it would've been better had she been sober.

Yeah, this. Seems like since Ep 29 everything is rushed and chopped together. We're definitely getting a condensed version of storylines.

She was a concubine.

I agree. She's like the FL and the rest are supporting characters at this point. I also dislike the way she's just doing whatever she wants and how the Pig Slaughter Squad disrespects YZ as the Marquis. Even though they view him as Fan's husband, he's still Marquis of Wu'an and should be treated with more respect.

I still don't know why Man Di survived in the one episode only to die in the next.

I'm glad we got two episodes but the story felt rushed and editing choppy. I was surprised to see the scholar there all of sudden interviewing Yu Qian. At this point I feel like Commander Li and Yan Zheng are there to look "pretty" because their battle scenes are limited compared to Fan Changyu's. Not that I'm complaining though! 😍

Right? And a hickey we never actually saw happen!! 😂

I know, that tub scene was so uncomfortable because she's really a victim. I had just finished watching Love in the Clouds and their kiss scenes were 🔥and their tub scene too.

By now, I wish we had better kissing scenes. They've been kinda 'meh' at this point. Some cdramas have nice kiss scenes and then there are others which are barely there.

I loved the fight scene too but the whole exploding fires were a bit overdone. Guy smashes a bonfire and the whole thing explodes like a grenade. 😂 It would've been better too to have more men around her like General Wu act all shocked after seeing her fight. I still thought it was so funny hearing the string music start when the Marquis finally comes galloping in. Like dude comes in all heroic but the battle is over. Lol!

I was just telling somone this too because in the earlier eps, he was injured and resting and then the only main fight scene he had was on the wall. Other than that, they didn’t show him in any battle scenes but mainly more for the romance aspect of the drama. The FL has way more fighting and action scenes so far.

I really liked New Life Begins and Wrong Carriage Right Groom but wasn't a fan of Moonlit Réunion. I dropped around Ep22 when it was first airing and just today I was getting back to it. She wasn't too prominent in Guardians of Dafeng though. I barely remember her in it.

I like the way they showed the Pig Slaughter Clan's individual fighting prowess as well the General Wu's. Shows that each of them can fight. And at least Fan won her fight without having to be rescued. Usually the FL is there as the "pretty face" or strategist, and the ML is the "handsome general" but the roles seem reverse somehow. The FL has way more fighting scenes so far than the ML.

Right? He did nothing but at least he showed up with the music!

The way the string music starts when the Marquis comes galloping in... 😂

Mulan style!

I'm on ep 23 and I feel like I'm forcing myself to watch. I realized later that the characters are boring. Same expressions. I don't think the FL was the right cast for this one. She doesn't have that extra cunning gravitas. The main leads act more like a 50 year old couple when they get married. I'm becoming uninterested.

I agree. At least not even impactful changes. Kinda defeats the purpose of her knowing the future.
