I can't seem to find a drama similar to this ;// it's too good❤️!
The Wolf is one of those unique dramas where it is obvious there is a lot missing, in terms of montage. However, it is still strangely good.
I would love to watch the original, untouched version without all the last 3 years of changes.
As for a drama similar to The Wolf, check out Colourful Bone with Thomas Tong. His Lue Ying’s character had a very similar upbringing, like Lord Bo. He also was given the same type of concoction to increase his strength and agility but the side effects were the deterioration of his body and a shortened life expectancy.
My greatest gripe with this drama aside from the cheap looking sets is the confusing character relationships.…
It’s like Legend of Chusen without a clear storyline. I love that we have a heroine here, instead of a hero... But the lack of clarification is too much.
My Honest Opinion after 20 episodesCould have been way much better. Like if it was some 16-20 episodes I wouldn't…
Exactly! I am still not getting a clear and distinctive storyline; as a result, those past episodes still have a messy-feel to them. I hope; there is a storyline somewhere...
Also, the constant chitchatting, at any inappropriate time, is getting annoying.
I swear my attention span is getting worse lately because I am loosing interest way faster than before. Or Those dramas with a cookie cutter and generic concept are getting worse.
I wonder if it is the reason why a very few numbers made my list this year... - Joy of Life - Love and Redemption - Cross Fire - And strangely enough, the Chu You Wen/Lord Bo character from The Wolf (Let me be very clear... The Chu You Wen/Lord Bo character... Not the drama)
May I dare to say that we might have a newer version of “General and I” here. - A maverick prince who is supposedly not blood related to the royal family, yet heavenly handsome and capable - Prince Xue Rong as Chu Beijie. - A 1st daughter who is savvy at strategy, war tactics and political turmoils, yet beautiful and elegant - Fu Yu Zhan as Bai Pingting. - A very likable second lead couple. - And my personal favorite, “La pièce de résistance,” no stereotypical, irritating, intrusive, second lead love rival.
I might really enjoy this one. Hopefully, they don’t dumb down the girls, halfway through.
Yeah you're right with bad subs. I even started watching a few with raw version as long as I know the story line.…
You are right... Unlike South Korea where they never shy away from the foreign brands; China tends to use domestic brands. However occasionally, I have seen some PPL from foreign brands. Like, Coca-Cola, Heineken and Budweiser red lager.

Wait. Didn’t they show pizza in Ever Night 1? I have not watched the 2nd season; it will be funny to see. Product placement in Asian dramas is the reverse of “Finding Waldo.”
I won’t divulge it for you, in regards to General and I. It is so blatant; it will be one of those moments “What the hell!!!”
At this point, I am so impervious to bad subs that I would be able to read and understand; even if, Egyptian hieroglyphs were added to them.
As for those annoying product placements... It is a common practice in Asian dramas; it can not be avoided. They have managed to display a product placement in the “General and I.” A historical Wuxia drama... Yes, they can not be avoided.
Well, this drama was supposed to air in 2017, they filmed it, and then was postponed till 2020 because of censorship...…
The changes made throughout the last 3 years of hibernation were so obvious. Not just because of Chinese restrictions and censorships... Changes made because of the overwhelmingly increasing popularity of some specific individuals were also pretty obvious...
My heart is towards Bo Wang. A lot of his actions are being misinterpreted by viewers. People cannot accept his…
Deserving is to put it simply... Too simply... I am sensing a large number of those viewers who cannot fully comprehend the complexity of that character is from the younger demography.
In this case, a reasonable level of maturity is needed; in order, to appreciate the psychological undertaking.
Our FL's lack of military bearing is most curious too. If you've seen OH MY GENERAL or LOVE LOST IN TIMES, both…
Wow!!! Exactly my thoughts.
As a supposedly strong female character: I think she became a general because everyone else died... She was relying on some 8 years old gossip materials to accomplish her mission. Girl is definitely lacking in the cognitive skills’ department. She might a be general but she is no Mulan.
As a veteran actress: There's no other way to put it... Sun Yi is a flat actress, in every sense of the word. Literally and figuratively. She plays that same persona in every single project; she is in. However good, great or formidable; her co-leading actors might be... She is always flat... No substance... No depth...
How she manages to lend those leading roles... Is beyond me. I really do mean no disrespect. It is a personal observation after watching her in multiple projects.
2 
- Best OST selections of 2020
- Best character portrayal of 2020
- Best ancient Chinese man hairstyle of 2020
However, after 3 years of systematic and obvious changes...
- Worst drama title of 2020
*I call this drama, the best example of a PR 101 course.
Did I say ditto before?
Ditto, again!!!
You have captured every character perfectly.
A very objective observation.
However, it is still strangely good.

And Darren Wang certainly did it justice.

But the restaurant brand red logo reminded me of Pizza Hut’s logo.
Again, I don’t know about eel pizza... These pizzas usually get the honor of having everything and anything on them.
Didn’t they show pizza in Ever Night 1?

“A large number...”
Every group is made up of different types of individual with varying degrees of intellect.
Merry Christmas ❤
Too simply...

Darren Wang won it, hands down for 2020.
Not everything is black and white; sometimes, there is a multitude of intricate shades of gray.
Unfortunately, he is largely underrated and overlooked.
Well, I am only watching this for him and hopefully I will persevere and finish it (I do find their romance boring).
Exactly my thoughts.
