I loooooooove this kind of storyline SO MUCH!!! Had the same vibes as Goblin and From Now On, Showtime with the who-killed-who in their past lives and whether the present lines will mimic the old
that one scene where Xiyang confesses she's pregnant with the Emperor's child... CHILLS, just CHILLS with the way it was done. The way the music shuts off and then swells, the way the camera pans and zooms, the despair and distress on Xiyang's face and Suige's shock and disbelief... that was a beautifully shot scene.
any other rec for dramas where the ML is just as charismatic and badass like this one? i also loved the ML in…
Legend of the Female General, The Prisoner of Beauty, Alchemy of Souls S2, Love and Destiny all have badass male leads as far as I can rmr - LOTFG and TPOB are very similar to this one, with smart, powerful MLs and equally strong FLs.
All of Fu YiXiao’s toughness and intelligence totally vanished about halfway through ep 16. It was so dumb.…
i mean it's kinda realistic that even though she's powerful and strong the death camp and its leader will always be a weak point where her emotions and PTSD would overwhelm her too much to think objectively... it's the place she was kept and tortured for years; it's very believable for her to react so emotionally
This one shocked me. It is SO FRICKING good I've been losing sleep for days now 😭😭 Every time you think things are going to get quiet something destroys the peace in some crazy way and we're back with the schemes, betrayal, power struggles, and mind games.
I love the way the ML and FL stay strong though... once they're together they're so ride or die it makes everything else bearable. I'm blessed to have this truly kickass couple gracing my screen.
i love cheng lei here so much so i wanna try his other works, which one first? Shadow Love or Legend of the Female…
Legend of the Female General is awesome!!! They have badass chemistry and the entire relationship dynamic is refreshingly healthy(AFTER they fall in love lol). If you like short dramas that draw you in because of Cheng Lei I'd recommend A Familiar Stranger and My Husky Boyfriend(this show is nuts but Ryan is so fricking funny, he gave his all to that role)
there's chemistry between the two and they work really well together but the FL doesn't realize she likes him till like the laaast ep and then they just end with them looking hopefully at each other lol so in short, no romance
