They should have called this "The Rise and Education of the Female General".

The emperor is priceless in his stupidity. This actor is spot on in his delivery of this role. Actually I am impressed with all the acting in this drama.

I am on episode 22 and I really love this drama so far. On a side note: there are some scenes that make me cringe more so than when I watched "Hannibal Lecter".

Maybe you should put a spoiler on this.

Honestly, I was not a fan of the plot, but when it comes to Asian dramas, I have learned to go with the flow. I then had a hard time understanding why they even made this drama. I felt like the FL was portrayed as emotionally damaged and a slut. (forgive my bluntness) Maybe (femme fatale) is a better word. Her character was seductively leading men on. To men, that is not a test but a free pass. Then her relationship with the ML's best friend was just stupid and so inappropriate. I also felt like the ML was portrayed as not so smart, but kind. So, after my frustration reached a boiling point, I concluded that this drama was just for sales and ratings. There is no other explanation, and I needed one to finish it. The plot was so weak to begin with. The ending just made it worse. So, I feel your frustration and raise you mine.

Thanks, they say that the "Pursuit of Jade" is really good. I am waiting for the end so I can binge.

I am waiting for it to finish so I can binge. I heard they slowed down the episodes to make more money. What a shame. I am so happy to hear it is as good as they say.

Thanks

I will be waiting for him and Zhao Lu Si to come back. Not necessarily together. Let me know if you find any good dramas worth watching. I left a friend request.

What is L&P?

I got hooked on them, too.

I so agree. I could not get past the first episode of "A Dream Within A Dream", and I really tried. It was not my cup of tea at all. The Asian culture really liked it, so it must be me. I loved that you mentioned Dallas. Wow! That takes me back to the endings of all endings. I watched for Liu Yu Ning, and the FL is very pretty. It is too bad the drama was not what it could have been.

Yep, I agree. I did like the simplicity of this drama. It was good, but not great. It had all of the things a decent drama should have, without going overboard. The acting was okay, and the lead couple was okay. I personally did not feel a lot of chemistry, but what they did worked for the romantic inside.

There were a few plot holes or editing issues, too.

I have been waiting for a new powerhouse romantic drama like "Love o2o or "You Are My Glory".

This was truly sensationalism at it's purest. Worst ending ever! Stupid! Wasted my time on what could have been some real healing and truth. They just moved on with no realistic ending.

Thoughts on episode 26

I totally see both points of view. I also had someone who talked down to me and said some really horrible things. So glad I left. The reality is, if anyone treats your partner like that, they do not belong together. Thanks for the reply.

Also, she is seeing his best friend behind his back. She is a piece of work

That is exactly what I was thinking. It seemed like a street gang war. Thanks for the replay.

I didn't mind her going with the "Nutty Professor," but she should have never crashed the party of two. Hey, what did you think about the breakup in episode 25? What Xi said made sense. But is that the pot calling the kettle black?

Wow, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. What a stupid FL. I cannot wrap my head around her character.
