Am I the only one who felt that the female lead lost her charm a little after she became general? She's super…
yes honestly I think she was more suited as a special task force sent on specialised missions rather than a full blown general who has to plan and command hundreds of thousands of people. Tbh the show made being a general very easy for her. People were always willing to follow her to war and to death and it felt quite unrealistic.
In the novel, Qimin was drugged by his nanny, so he was ultimately the one who was raped.This is how Bao’er…
yes I recall the sent me to his bed comment, but i can’t rmb anything else about how they had a child tgt! damn sucks that he was drugged but it’s still not absolving of the disgust I feel for what he did to qianqian I guess
39 ep later I still hate the qimin and qianqian pairing. I absolutely hated the romantic spin to their story. Was Qianqian not just being coerced the whole time? She fking hates guts too, so it’s not like it was a love hate relationship. I like beauty and the beast so I’m not against Stockholm syndrome plot lines but I just can’t understand why the romantic filters and slow mos are used for their scenes. They were so uncomfortable to watch. It was just a tragic story about an obsessive madman kidnapping and controlling a woman. I feel so bad for qianqian. Like wth did she do to deserve this. almost feels like a crime against the abused for painting their story in even a faintly romantic light
I wasn’t paying attention at some parts but how did Yun Bao even come about? I thought it was grape this whole time. Or did the show not really go into this? Let me know if yall know
true but the SA and some what romaticised angle made it hard to watch for me. I could deal with evil guy kidnapping and torturing if it wasn’t romanticised
I've just finished episode 10, it's good so far, but I think I'm gonna start to skip the court scenes, I just…
I didnt pay attention to the court scenes or the politics at all in the beginning and I started regretting after ep 20 because I had no idea who was colluding with who or who the “bad guy” even was at some points. I wish I paid more attention because the politics become important from mid point and it’s actually quite fun to watch. Obviously everything will start to make sense after a while but I think it wouldve been more fun if I knew who was who lol
I absolutely hate the silver hair mad man x shopowner side pair… if they’re even a pair. I don’t like the romantic angle on certain scenes. It’s literally SA so it’s hard to watch these scenes. especially the bath scene which was SO LONG and the blurry seductive filter did not help. Idk how things end for them since I’m only at ep 20+ but I hope it doesn’t end well for him
So true as someone who has watched a lot of saguek it felt like I was watching recycled content. it’s very reminiscent…
Same I have kind of fallen out of love for them because they always follow the same predictable formula. Although I’m still sitting and waiting for a good one. Contrary to you though I think the sagueks have become less historical, but I kinda get what you mean, sometimes there’s too much politics in shows that are barely political. Like if you advertise yourself as a quirky fusion saguek then just be a quirky fusion saguek
This drama was so insanely popular in Korea so why do they not make historical drama like this anymore? The sad tear jerking ones. It’s all just fusion rom com historicals these days 😭
Hmmm... 9 episodes in... So I think I can now give a final verdict to this show.... It's pretty conventional...…
So true as someone who has watched a lot of saguek it felt like I was watching recycled content. it’s very reminiscent of moon embraces the son but farrr more boring and way less complex
You mean to say the antagonist fell in love with the previous queen but spent half the show torturing the son…
Also I would absolutely think that someone who looks 99.9999% (minus the mole on the nose) like my dead wife is my dead wife whose body I never really identified
