It's so good, I barely notice the shortened episode length even though I obviously want more. They really use their time well. Episode 8 is spectacular and Episode 9 fittingly more lowkey. This is one of the few dramas were I already wish to rewatch the first episodes.
I love the dynamic between the leads so far and the magical cgi looks great too. I also like that the story gives some time limit for Simu staying in the mortal world.
They basically cut out her whole journey and the battlefield stuff. You’ll have to read the novel it.
It's such a shame that dramas keep doing that to us. Hopefully now that the 40 episodes rule has been loosened, there will be dramas with less cut development again. I'll give the novel a try.
I wish her journey to general and beyond had made more sense. Claiming she has seen countless and plentiful battle was so untrue when she fought in all of two battles. In the big one after those statement she didn't even lead an army or fight.
I've been considering starting "Lost You Forever" but the reverse harem aspect made me hesitant. I feel more confident checking it out after your comment here. My rec is "Blossoms in Adversity"!
This is so entertaining! So cringed when Lada tried to get a rise out of Nam but the moment passed soon enough. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
This one really knows how to compress a standard drama into a web series. It's great. I was all for the second male lead at first or rather both seemed fine but the emperor has really grown on me. Normally I don't like female leads to get back with the person who has wronged them but his offenses are so minimal. It's really logical what a tough and political place the harem became for them. Meanwhile it's on sight now with her brother.
Saw some comments saying Li HuaiAn was very selfish for reacting the way he did. Can you all be for real? His…
Thank you! I'm really glad she is facing the consequences of making decisions for others by literally knocking them out. Li doesn't have as much reason to go soft on her as the marquis or the princess. It's great that she has the fighting ability of a general but the knowledge of the military at this level she does not. In fact, she barely knows the military on the level of a foot soldiers.
Still hiding his Marquis identity seems strange now alas it's also the only way he can take her punishment, and she truly needs to be punished for endangering 1000+ people. Changyu also learns her lessons more when they affect others instead of herself, so him bearing the brunt of the punishment will be a reality check for what it means to be in the army. That wouldn't be possible if it's overshadowed by an identity reveal.
