So I want to make sure that I am understanding the sequence of events in the first episode since that’s what they’re trying to figure out — First, I am a little confused with the Prince being shot in the first episode. It looked initially like he dodged the arrow that the FL shot, but he was hit right after with that second arrow. So was he shot by the FL in the beginning and she just rapidly fired two arrows? Or is the person who actually shot the Prince supposed to be a mystery? Secondly, I was also a little confused by what happened to the FL. If I am understanding right, the FL was chasing the empty carriage the Prince was in (not knowing that he had jumped out). So when the empty carriage reached the cliff and tumbled over, the FL was also shot off the cliff. She initially thought that the Prince shot her, when he did not, correct? I just want to make sure I am understanding what they are trying to figure out. I am only a couple episodes in, been busy. Not sure how I feel about her taking revenge on him in the woods 🙄 Him torturing her for answers made sense because she cost him the war. She just seemed to be petty in taking revenge in the woods 🙄

But TPoB was the best!!! I dunno if I wanna watch this one because I’ll just want to compare the two 🫣Like how could anything measure up???

About to finish my rewatch. Still 10/10

Awesome, thanks! 🙏

Into episode 2… *side eyes* Y’all sure there’s no love triangle with the FL and the dude who wanted to give her the betrothal bracelet that she clearly had some feels for? 😒

Same! And also WDBtD.

Please use the spoiler tag.

Ummmm…… So the ML in this show is one of the best in Asian dramas… If you don’t like him by like episode 20, then don’t waste your time going further.

I adored her, too. Seriously though I would have burned the whole place to the ground if I were SJ. Our girl just wants to eat, drink and have a happy life. How dare they lol

First episode is great so far. I’m loving the parallelisms between the main leads. First, the parallel of them getting the similar wounds around their hearts treated, secondly with them undressing and stepping into the hot spring to heal. Very poetic and lovely. Loving the symbolism of their “Fated Hearts”.

Oh I know 😂 I just watched the scene when the doctor was in trouble in the woods, the FL slaughtered all of the ninjas and then the romantic music started playing when the doctor saw the FL for the first time 😂

10 minutes into episode 1- am I supposed to ship the FL and the doctor? 😂 I’m down.

You spoiled a lot of things in your post for people that may still be going through the show.

So I decided that I’m gonna do something that I haven’t done in years - pick up a show before the ending is known. I swear to god if this show does not have a happy ending I’m gonna raaaaage 😤

Haha with them splitting LLTG into two parts, I didn’t realize that I replied on both threads 😂

Episode 12. One of THE most charged scenes in television 🔥 🥵

Hey- you should use the spoiler tag.

Hmmm. Absolute favorites Prisoner of Beauty (ML general, FL is an incredibly smart and strategic woman. Arranged marriage trope with love growing after). There is also Legend of the Female General (both the ML and FL are seasoned military fighters). Blossoms in Adversity (ML military man with a progressive FL who leads her family through difficult times when the men in her family were exiled), The Double (ML general with FL seeking revenge), The Rebel Princess (arranged marriage to a ML general who oozes sexy masculinity and is not your conventional pretty boy general. He actually looks older and experienced in battle). You might also like Blossom (ML fighter, cunning FL and they get married early on I think??). There aren’t a lot of shows quite like LLTG.

Ummmm…. You might like Legend of the Female General (both ML and FL are seasoned military members), The Double (another general ML, and female lead is seeking revenge), The Rebel Princess (general ML who oozes masculine energy), or Blossoms in Adversity (ML military man and a progressive woman who leads her family after the men in her family were exiled). You might also like Blossom (Badass ML fighter and a smart and intelligent FL). Wonderland of Love, maybe (both ML and FL are fighters). There isn’t a show quite like LLTG.

Rewatching this one and my god the second act fucking HURTS. “As long as she’s alive, you must endure it.” 💔 Goooosh this angst hits haaaard 💔 🥺The way SJ emotes so much emotion through his EYES. The single tear, the shock, the hurt, the discouragement, the anger and helplessness. Dammit 🥺 💔
