Doesn't play the bagpipes, I guess.

Thank you.

Governor's Secret Love (2023) and Butterflied Lover (2023) He plays to type but especially in the latter he was very endearing. He isn't like that in any other dramas that I have seen. I don't know your tastes, but you might enjoy them.

Iriene Song The Inextricable Destiny (2023) I liked her best in this. Some pretty sad parts. Different Princess (2024)
Eleanor Lee My Love, Enlighten Me (2022) modern drama. My first exposure to her. I liked the drama and her character. Fake Princess (2022) A light comedy. I remember it because there is a marriage ceremony that is heart breaking.

Zhuge Kongyun was written and dressed that way to provide a contrast with Beiming, to provide a Javert character and sometimes a comedic foil for Beiming and Xueman. That the writers evolved him to be a partner was nice. It really isn't his story, but would have been nice if he had tangled wits with Director Blue Cat. A romantic pair two steps ahead of each other. The ego clashes. The thoughtfulness.

Could be worse. There are toxic MLs that push the FLs around. But it is to set up his fall from grace.

Thank you. Will read your review.

Ireine Song (Yi Ren Song) bn 1993 lived in Canada from 8 to 11, came back to China and then went back to Canada to study at 16 came back to China at 19.
Eleanor Lee (Kai Yin Li) bn Taiwan grew up in Singapore.

It ended being two girls after one guy. In the last scene, Chen Jing An and Chen Chan Ning stood next to each other so that's the end couple. I wish Chen Jing An and the guy that sat next to her got together.

I googled why do drama watcher hate julia xiang
And got this.
The reason drama watchers might dislike Julia Xiang, despite her popularity, often stems from specific acting choices or perceived personality traits in her roles, rather than a dislike for her as a person. Some viewers find her acting style too melodramatic or emotionally intense, while others find her characters unsympathetic or frustrating. Additionally, some may dislike her voice or the way she delivers lines, especially if her performances are dubbed.
I like her.

1) Beiming and Dr, Feng People say they have great chemistry.

I think that you are talking mostly about the first few episodes where she was getting static from other members in the unit. I think that the truth is that there are male characters who could act assertive in her way and be treated with respect.
Perhaps we are seeing the 'Hillary Clinton' effect. Or more recently Kamala Harris.

Me, too.

The love is there but it takes a back seat to the professionalism as constables investigating a mystery. No flirting or PDA. Don't know why they didn't throw in some romance time, though.

A prominent example is Qin Liangyu, a female general who defended the Ming Dynasty against the Manchu in the 17th century. She is renowned for her military prowess and leadership.

He is written that way to support the theme of the drama that gender should not block someone from achieving their potential. Which is OK.

He is the last alive for a reason. He can prove which is the real General Feihong.

Li Kuang was written that way to make a point about not allowing women to reach their full potential. In truth it would be the sick, the aged and the young who would receive reduced rations. Able bodied citizens would be drilled with spears and clubs and taught to throw rock from windows.
Actually during the Ming Dynasty, women played crucial roles in defending their homes and communities during sieges and attacks, often alongside men.
There are historical accounts of women leading troops in battle, mobilizing forces, and even taking on roles of military command.
Women also contributed to defense by managing resources, tending to the wounded, and supporting the war effort in various capacities, including textile production for uniforms and other supplies.

They got where they did with brains, not brawn.
And a fighter is not necessarily a good general.
Ned Almond, recklessly bold and aggressive is credited with allowing his units to separate and pursue the enemy all the way to the Yalu River. The Chosin Reservoir debacle was the result. Some units were surrounded and destroyed and the Marines made a heroic stand and fought their way to safety. One said of him, when it paid to be aggressive, he was aggressive. When it paid to be cautious, he was aggressive. He was a racist bigot and a micromanager. Marine Gen. Smith reached an agreement that his Marines would not be placed under his command after that. Kept his Marines safe. Almond was kept in command because of his perceived fighting spirit. Ugh.

Machinations and conflict with him is cheaper than staging a couple more battles or even fight scenes. They made him the third in a triangle. Never an attractive part of a drama.
