Are some people basically promoting that illegal site by bringing it up over and over?

An actor from another drama only skimmed the original novel and never actually read it. He said every adaptation will be different anyway. And honestly… if the actor doesn’t care, what can you really expect? At that point, the novel and the adaptation become two completely different works.

that illegal site is risky, you can get trojan viruses

The MDL ranking seems to have peaked at #14 and has now slipped back to #16 right as the leaks happened. I wonder if the leaks influenced the drop since the timing overlaps, or did the drama simply hit its natural peak? People are talking more about the leaks than the show.

This drama is on track to surpass 3 billion cumulative effective views on Maoyan by the finale, and it could reach 4–5 billion by year’s end — two to four times the performance of most hit dramas.

what happened to the comments here, it's become a broken record

Lin Mu Ran (plays Sui Yuan Qing) his acting, reminds me a little of Luo Yun Xi

they can't believe they're getting slaughtered by a "pig slaughtering woman."

That face he made when he said ‘kill me now’ was so deliciously unhinged. Such a good performance. I think part of it is his age — that 19‑to‑mid‑20s range has a kind of raw, youthful energy. That's why I think actors (male and esp. female) if they can play these kinds of roles before 30, it's comes across with more energy.

he's 20 now but 19 when he filmed this

The 19‑year‑old Lin Mu Ran, who plays Sui Yuanqing, is really impressive. His performance stands out so much.

the way she butchers the guy like she butchered pigs

her voice is really amazing on the battlefield

she has both talent and training to do it at this level. she's so good using her voice.
See this is why using her own voice is such a big advantage to bring out her character.

This kind of heroic character has so much potential. She feels like the kind of hero you can keep making more stories about, more seasons.

Tian Xiwei’s voice became much more powerful in the war scenes — just like a warrior. Not exactly masculine, but commanding, and even the tone itself sounded completely different. It changed so much that I actually thought she was dubbed just for those scenes, because in the rest of the drama I can clearly recognize her usual voice. But the credits say it’s all her own voice.

this drama is the legend of the female general

I'm on episode 29, and the whole time she keeps saying she wants to return to her village. I kept thinking, there’s no way—why would you believe your village is safe? How could she imagine she could separate her life from the war? It just didn’t make sense to me. I assumed she would eventually realize the truth, since I already know she ends up going to war. She keeps insisting she doesn’t want to kill anyone, because it reminds her of others killing the people she loves. But if you don’t stop your enemy, they’ll destroy you. Even if she refuses to fight, the war is still coming for her. Naturally, she does figure all of this out.

I think the director wants contrast — the sweet ‘green flag’ couple vs. the darker ‘red flag’ couple — to appeal to a wider audience. I've noticed that there’s a really big audience out there for the ‘red’ type of relationships too, so maybe that’s why the second couple gets so much focus. They probably think the red‑flag stuff is trendy.

compared to interviews or another drama?
