While height, size and strength is definitely a combat advantage, I want to point out that a few of the greatest…
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.
are you serious, I had to pause for a sec... I was happy and smiling at FL and her friends in ep 25, then SML…
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.
1. In ep 4 they explain that the girls is from prostitute and then be bought and sell to the flower soceity of…
1) I think the the girls were part of a scam to be saintess at the ceremony then sold to a brothel and later redeemed. I believe that the our, like the cult members were from Nangye. 2) Maybe they were committed by Constable Zhu before he met Hibiscus and reformed. . 3) The night that Hibiscus escaped was the night that she was recaptured then beaten and killed. 4) Constable Zhu pretended to be Ajia. (Tailor) He was also from the Elite Constabulary Unit. He loved Hibiscus, the girl that ran away. He married her. She was kidnapped with the four ladies but she alone tried to escape. She was running to her home and him because she thought he could protect her but was caught and beaten to death. He found the body and buried her at their home. The four ladies were saintess in the ceremony and then secretly sold to brothels. The four killed had been redeemed but when Hibiscus escaped, they betrayed where she was running to. I guess to keep the scam secret after being re-captured she was killed. So he killed Ajia, Huishan, Marquis Jingshan and the four ladies. Before Constable met Hibiscus and gave up killing, he worked for Yesha and was the one to kill the FL's Father which was used to frame Beiming. I didn't check who Tailor impersonated to closely. It might be someone else.
I have just seen avenue x review of the drama and her view pretty much aligns with the crowd who dropped the show…
I watch her reviews and like her, but sometimes she is just wrong. Most people haven't become jaded like her or dis something because they want to show they know better. Light not heat. Or in her case sour grapes.
SandGirl Nicky You haven't watched A Familiar Stranger before?
It's well regarded and his character is a solid green flag. It's my first introduction to Ryan Cheng. Ke Ying and Kay Song are good as the main female. 18 episodes 24 minutes each. The female is forced to face swap to protect her sister and has to become the wife of a general. The duo have been praised for knowing how to tell a story and getting more or the best from their actors. The directer did Blossom but the director Zheng Qing Jie and screenwriter Zhao Lin also made The Killer is Also Romantic (2022) and Butterflied Lover (2023) Provoke (2023) was also mentioned when talking about dramas the duo did.
Can someone explain how is it drama can depict a general as doing nothing but reading a little and spends almost…
The general is like a boss. He has captains doing the work. And captains have NCO/veterans doing the people work. This drama and most cdramas don't show that.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the short length dramas genre but Qingchuan's Veil of Vengeance is a pretty…
Dominion and Devotion(2025) by the same female director is also pretty good. The ML is the alpha and as the Head Eunuch has been the blade of the villain, while the FL is intelligent and as the new Emperor, wishes to do what is best for her new subjects in a very unstable kingdom.
The misunderstanding wasn’t too bad, plus the truth is finally out. While things are tense right now, it feels…
I felt that with her experience from before, if she plans to be a general again, she should be cultivating potential leaders from the recruit gang. Would have been nice if those guys had been motivated not to give up in order to stay with her. They have her as a hero, not leader of men. I like her story.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the short length dramas genre but Qingchuan's Veil of Vengeance is a pretty…
QVV is pretty good. Youtube has made about 14 hour and a half compilations of the 18 23 minute episodes. The translations, especially the names can be spotty. The ML may seem more feminine but he works well as the disciple who became devoted to his master. The Chu villain seemed by some to be a more masculine match. But he isn't.
