I hear you. I'm rooting for Fated Hearts. While I enjoyed Shadow Love and Cheng Lei, it's missing angst and that…
From the trailer it seems like it! At least the snippets seem to be taken from different moments in the drama (so not just one big reveal moment at the end..) - and the amnesiac FL still remains incredibly badass.
I didn’t know the director - will go check what held he worked on!
I hope Fated Hearts will be the sizzling intense enemies-to-lovers drama which I hoped Shadow Love to be and it wasn’t.
PS no offense to those who liked Shadow Love, I also dipped in and out of it (especially for Cheng Lei) and did not dislike it, but I expected more tension and angst due to the main leads being on opposite sides…and didn’t deliver much on that until the end.
Why I think it made sense she said “yes” in episode 22.
I checked again the original question in Chinese and it’s 救援来迟的那个人 which means “the person who arrived late to the rescue” (来迟 = arrive late, NOT delaying the rescue). In the subtitles it’s made to be stronger. I understand though why He Yan, with her sense of loyalty, her guilt about the death of the general and the guilt for lying to Xiao Jue would reply “yes” to this question. She always takes on responsibility, even in cases where things are more gray. On top of that, as she said, Xiao Jue probably wouldn’t have listened to any explanation or would have felt that she was lying again. I think the question at its core is: were you He Rufei when my father died in battle? And the answer is sadly “yes”.
Script readers in XHS already confirmed that she’s going to regain her former title as general feihong. But…
Whaaaaat - such a change for Chu Zhao wrt the novel. I actually thought he was a decent character in the novel but in the drama sneakily asking marriage…
