Likewise :)

I shouldn’t be surprised but I really like ZLS’ acting in this show. I rewatched the airport scene in ep 7 and she totally delivered such a great portrayal of a heartbroken teenager. Not only with her phsyical acting and facial expressions but even her voice carried so much emotion. She is a talented actress through and through.

Lol…trying my best to keep up with the good shows!

Wow, I guess the high rating for the show is deserved! Everyone is recommending it...

Seems to be a recommended show so I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

How have I not seen the ML before? He's eye candy for sure. ZLS killing it as usual. After Hu Tong and Gen Z, this is probably a nice break for her to get back to a lighthearted rom-com.

Would it be a good story if the show followed the concept of opposites attract all the way through with FY, the learned, prim and proper lady ending up with our rough general CWD, and our unladylike MX ending up with the well-mannered dutiful WJG?

I would love to see #4 happen but I don’t know if they will deviate so much from the novel.

Yup and CWD put a nice spin on the meaning to motivate his men 😁

She's starting to nag CWD and her daydreams were about him. She's confused, but her change of heart was happening until he told her that she has to make socks for all of his army...LOL

Xiao Wu, being the good sidekick that he was, tried to advise CWD to be nicer and gentler to MX but that stubborn man's not listening thinking that she didn't like him so why bother...
Sigh, listen to Xiao Wu, man! And stop bringing up WJG as her lover so much.

Seriously though, she's getting tired of his jealousy towards WJG and now she doesn't appreciate him giving her attitude. Xiao Wu tried to give MX hints why CWD could be upset but MX, oh MX - could you not tell that CWD wants to see you reciprocate his feelings, even if just a little bit for now?

The war situation was more tense in this episode with so many enemy soldiers attacking. CWD remained confident in his army's unity but like MX, I am concerned that he is overly confident. I feel so worried for him!

FY showed a bit of gentleness towards WJG and displayed military knowledge from her readings. It could just be my perception but it seemed like he was softening towards her but at the same time, he was mad that she was criticizing his lack of action. In the end, he did follow her suggestion, but it meant the loss of his reputation as a good general. Even WY warned him that what he was doing will only reap short-term gains and that he will never be a match for CWD.

Oh no, WY has a plan to defeat CWD 😟 Now I am stressed for CWD. 😟

Ep 31 - Aww, MX is starting to act like CWD's wife

Awesome! Thanks!

Ah that’s true. I didn’t remember at first.

Just enjoyed ep 1. The casting is great and I love the Sang family dynamics! The actress playing young Sang Zhi is lovely!

I remember crushing on my brother’s friend so I look forward to seeing Sang Zhi’s story.

He is such a loyal person!

We along with MX find out more about CWD’s past. MX seems to have overcome her misunderstandings about CWD and even suggested that he tries to form an alliance with WJG. CWD thinks it’s impossible since WJG is only a pawn operated by the bad guys. WJG and WY gearing up to attack Jingchou with many men. FY got very impatient and yelled at WJG for not doing anything. She blamed herself for not holding onto MX’s hand. That it is her fault that MX is with CWD now. She reminded WJG that MX should be with him, that they are the true match and he needs to bring MX home and clarify with his parents. WJG said that he’s trying and he will properly marry MX. FY left and WJG appeared to be very frustrated.

He’s shaping her up! In his army, all must contribute!

That’s probably one of the few more romantic lines he’s uttered to her. The other one is, I cannot wait to dote on you, so how can I punish you?

I am! Very much enjoying it. Was not expecting it to turn dark after such a lighthearted start but it is a very engaging show!
