am still thinking who can verify if ML is their ancestor or not? the people from future doesnt have any additional…
The brother will remember the full story the grandpa told. Jicai had to go to school so she didn’t hear the rest and her brother is an idiot so her forgot about it but I think he remembers the full story later. That’s what I read.
The fact that they can somehow stretch this show out to 32 episodes concerns me. Are we really going to draaag…
I don’t think it’s dragging. I like the pacing. The story is progressing well and I am enjoying it. Frankly, I’m watching Fated Hearts and I’m wondering how they can drag that drama out to 38 episodes. So I guess it’s different per taste. I am sad it’s only 32 episodes.
For anyone hesitating about this drama thinking it’ll be too silly - DON’T HESITATE! START NOW! The drama is so good! So well done. It’s not really silly as much as it’s funny. They do a great job of leveling the funny down with the seriousness coming from the FL and the ML. And I have to give credit to the FL and ML and how great acting can truly manage the tone of the drama. If they weren’t good actors I think the funny scenes could have come off silly. But due to their acting, I think the lines are delivered with the perfect balance of funny and serious. So most of the silly come just from the supporting actors. The FL and ML can be humorous in context just based on their lines and reactions but it’s not silly. So I like that balance. Also, the mystery of who their ancestor really is and what happened to the ML’s family keeps the plot grounded. So although the romance is a bit slow (with a lot of subtle smiles, looks, and interactions) it’s abundant enough for people who want romance. I really like this drama and am so so happy I started it.
almost got choked while drinking water..fight scene between lin yan and Mr. cao is hilarious 😂
Omg yes! I was rofl! I watched it several times it was so funny! 😂 Both were so hilarious with their reactions and facial expressions they killed me!! I hope they have a behind the scenes for that scene
No, it’s not. It’s much better and less cliche. I feel kdramas these days are just rewriting the same stories but with a little difference. This drama is much better than Bon Appetit, and way funnier without trying to be funny
THIS DRAMA IS SO GOOD!! I didn’t expect it at all because of the silly name but I binged 7 episodes in one night. Episode 4 had me rolling on the floor it was so funny. LYR and WYL have great chemistry and with LYR giving her those smoldering looks omg this is too good!
The title is throwing me. It seems so juvenile, maybe they could’ve picked a different title. But is the story good still? Worth a try? I like both the FL (Baobao!) and the ML (Song Mo!)
This series is actually pretty good! So surprised bc I’m not a fan of dramas from this era. And I wasn’t sure about the plot but I’m on Ep 5 now and it’s been really good. I keep watching it! Cheng Lei is killing it - as expected - but the story is good too. Cheng Lei in this drama looks like Andy Lau from the 90’s Hong Kong era with the acting skills of Tony Leung. He captivates in every scene. And so many funny scenes with him too. Too good~ too good~ Very unexpected good drama!
Finished this and loved it. I do think the story has some plot holes and is not perfect because they seemed to have rushed it to get it all in 36 episodes. This is one of those dramas that could have done with more episodes 38 or 40 or cut out some of the unnecessary storylines in the middle like the whole master’s love story or Chonghai.
I’ve read ppl not liking Zhou Ye as female general. I don’t know what they’re talking about. I thought she was fantastic. I was skeptical at first because she is so petit but she definitely carried her own. She portrayed He Yan with so much gravitas and command that I thought she was believable as a strong female general. Also, I appreciated her acting and her looking “ugly” in her action scenes (ex: ep 24). A lot of actresses will try to look pretty in all the shots (ex: Song Yi) so I appreciated that ZY could look scrunched up and fierce like she was really angry or just fighting for her life with all her might. I mean, it’s tough to match Cheng Lei’s aura (I mean, let’s be honest Cheng Lei dominates in every scene and every drama) but she managed to hold her own. So you have to give credit where it’s due. She did a great job. I was convinced after watching and finishing this drama. I think I’ll have high standards for future female generals.
I strongly recommend this drama. I think there could have been more sweet moments between the leads and there were some major scenes that could have been better but that were a bit anticlimactic but even then I would recommend this as a strong 9/10.
Confused why he is a kid. It’s a bit annoying and weird that the ML is a kid for so many episodes. When will he turn back? I hope it’s not too prolonged otherwise any romance between the leads will just seem super weird and pedophilic
For anyone wondering about the rating, no this drama is not overrated. It’s excellent. The story and the characters are portrayed well. I love smart FL and ML! Both are competent and smart and funny. The ML knows when the FL is lying but lets it go understanding she has her reasons. The story and the storytelling is so grown up and mature without silliness that it’s refreshing and I love it. For anyone who wants mindless cookie cutter cutesie romance scenes and dumb FL and over macho ML then this drama isn’t for you so don’t watch it and later leave comments about how it wasn’t “romantic” enough because it didn’t have the childish cliche scenes. This is by far the best drama for me for 2025. Cheng Lei always picks such good dramas with good characters. Starting to really like him.
Not much romance and each episode is a story on its own. I watched it bc of the rave reviews but I’m on Ep 7 now and it’s still pretty boring. There’s not much underlying plot that is developing and the FL is still not part of the story. In fact, Wang An Yu is also really not part of the story either because each episode is a case he is reading about so he’s not really in it either except a little in the beginning and the end in each episode. Thought the plot would be much better given the reviews. It’s a bit disappointing.
For me this drama was a 10/10 fantastic. LOVED the lead’s chemistry and the story. It’s about preference, just what kind of dramas you like and what type of love story you like. For me, I found the Double boring and annoying. It reminded me of old revenge Kdramas from a decade ago. And I didn’t love the FL there bc I didn’t see much improvement in her acting since Yanxi. But I know a lot of people loved it. So it’s just a personal preference, not that one drama is better than the other. For me, I loved this one.
This drama will be 10/10 if they don't cut the full kiss scenes
Their chemistry was fire. So fantastic. I don’t know what the director was thinking g making everything rated PG. I’ve seen his other works so I know he could do better. I’m wondering if it was some type of censor issue.
Why are we remaking Princess Agents instead of continuing that with a sequel that everyone is waiting for. Also, to go from Zhao Liying as Chu Qiao to this young FL seems a bit…. I guess we’ll wait to see if she has the charisma for this role.
