Generals have different personalities. What matters is their capacity to lead, their courage, make decisions on…
Everywhere I go, I see people making these lame excuses.
If you're good at coming up with solutions, gathering information, communicating effectively, then you should be a strategist. That’s exactly why generals always had strategists to guide them. Being domineering is a must for a general, because without it, you can't rally or even control your own men, let alone lead them into war. Of course, a general should also have the qualities of a strategist.
On top of that, she had to learn archery and spear fighting just to compete with fresh recruits. I’d bet she wasn’t even the best in her own battalion.
And then there's the part where it was apparently fine for a man like Cheng Li Su to know she’s a woman, but not Song Taotao? That makes no sense.
Why does everything feel so forced? Every moment that's meant to make He Yan shine seems out of place. For example, in the fight where she killed He Rufei's men, everything was flowing naturally until, out of nowhere, she provoked him and killed him. Xiao Jue saw it happen but did nothing.
Then in the army camp fight, Xiao Jue knew about the mole. Since he was already planning to leave the camp, shouldn't he have made arrangements or at least informed someone? But no, it's like no one has a brain except He Yan. Even after she warned the temporary commander, he did absolutely nothing.
She keeps saying she's the number one in the camp, but she only competed with this year's recruits. How can she claim to be the best in the entire camp? And honestly, she’s not general material. Yes, she’s cute and beautiful, but that’s not enough, you want a general to be domineering. The scene where she was calling out the tribal leader felt like a comedy skit. Just look at the difference in their appearance. The tribe leader is physically imposing, and then there’s her, a cute girl pretending to be a boy.
Even the scene where Xiao Jue applied medicine on her felt forced. Considering Song Taotao is also in the camp and is a capable physician, there was no real reason for that encounter to happen.
I don’t know if they cut out a lot of important story elements in the adaptation compared to the novel, or if the story itself is just being forced.
It's not going downhill. In the book he's not a real villain, he's a mix of this noble man, but at the same time…
I understand because of his love for her he has softened but still, in the trailer of episode 21 he said "From now on I'll be cleaning your messes" that's like saying I'll do anything you say from now on I don't have a brain of my own.
Well... that's kind of inevitable if they are ever to fall in love. Otherwise, their story is pretty much just…
I think I want to see them overpower eachother instead of ML just accepting whatever FL is doing, he shouldn't lose his mind just because he fall in love. In the trailer of episode 21 where he says "From now on I'll be cleaning your messes" was such a turn off.
I feel like the third prince is being supported by Tao Hua's country and all the information she provides in order to receive medicine for the poison goes in circle and ends up with the third prince.
Why the f**k she is dragging the case? She knows who the killer is and she can provide the evidence to point the police in the right direction but instead she thought it would be a good idea to make someone else the murderer. Either because of the bad subtitles I am not understanding the story correctly or the story is shitty.
