I already know this sing for mw, because I dont like sad dramas, however, I do want to watch just for the chemistry, are the starting ep happy then get sad? or pretty much sad through out.
Pros:* While the FL doesn’t portray a firm or cutthroat attitude, she usually gets her way because of how eloquent…
I understand what you mean. While I still wouldn’t say the team was necessary for this side plot, I do think it was written very well. I usually dislike when the second male lead—often a friend or brother of the ML, or a close friend of the FL—falls for the FL in a way that ends up ruining friendships. I think the reason this bothers me so much is because it’s so rare to see a strong bond between the FL and SML that isn’t based on blood ties or romantic interest, but instead on genuine friendship.
That said, this drama was an exception, and I really enjoyed it nonetheless.

I usually dont watch Historical-period dramas , while I cant deny their plots are usually better written , they're…
Pros: * While the FL doesn’t portray a firm or cutthroat attitude, she usually gets her way because of how eloquent she is. I found that refreshing, it might not seem like a strong trait to rely on, but throughout the show, it clearly how valuable it is to have
* They did a good job with the side characters - the four soldiers (esp wei liang) - Bi zhi (thought I wish it ended differently something like he found a way to save his wife and not betray Wei clan.
Cons: * Did the cousin in-law have to like the FL??? Like it's so cute when he smiles, when the fl and ml exchanges small actions of love, Him liking the FL is soo unnecessary . I think it would have been wholesome with just him treating her like family even though shes from the Qiao family. But It still turned out pretty good
* I dont know how I feel about the lat battle, I'd say it wasn't a 100% satisfying , At the start of the show, I was expecting the end be like Wei clan in attacked and Boya + Qiao clan come to help even w/o asking kind of like the current generation making up for the past but maybe they were going for 'thats just how it is when it comes to politics' I dont know
* I wished to see the Fl play a role in the last battle.
Some thoughts: - While FL is a good actress, I find it hard to read her expressions something, when shes not presenting a dialog. maybe its just me - they could have shown xiaotao have a cute comedic relationship with the other 3 friends as well, they kinda did at the end, but why did wei Xiang have to die 😭😭😭😭 - small joke/banter between FL younger brother and the youngest solder out of the 4 because they're closer in age . obv all this doesnt add to the plot but I think def would add to the character.
Overall I think might be one of the historical/period dramas that I liked the most (taking political + romance + friendship etc into consideration)
I usually dont watch Historical-period dramas , while I cant deny their plots are usually better written , they're just too long for me:( and my concentration span is low so take my review with a grain of salt. This drama is very much enjoyable and if this is the genre youre into I def recommend. Just a few thoughts

I dont usually rate short dramas but this was very well written for a short drama without a basic cliche plot,…
Pros: Gu Lian Cheng fairly fresh characters some scenes I thought were new for me and pretty good
Cons: They repeated how the FL&ML are one step ahead too many times 3/4 the show was about wanting to get revenge but it was anticlimactic as all the focus was on the Japanese I dont know if I felt chemistry between the leads
I'm finding it hard to remember the good because I losing interest very fast towards the end. If you have 5-6hours to spare you can try watching,
I dont usually rate short dramas but this was very well written for a short drama without a basic cliche plot, It's got some good scenes, some good characters, but I think loses the essence in the last quarter.
Tbh when I fist saw teaser clips before the trailer came out though this was going to be something like forbidden flower(by that I mean thought it would be more inclined to flirtatious) Even though it was a simple romance drama Its really good , very refreshing to see such a mature ML well written supporting story, a healthy relationship and a good mix of TCM and morden.
I really liked how the best friends' characters, and how they made them a trio rather than 2 girl best friends and their bfs. Lin yi Shen's character I thought was very refreshing, they made sure to show the friendly bond between him and the fl and made sure to include some slight comedy. The grandfathers was also very cute, and the convo when the family drink together felt very raw which I liked. and of course an Honourable mention the kid who gets treated by he se yu, I'm not a fan of kids but this kids acting really soooo goood.
While at first I did think FL mom getting cancer was not required, it wasn't so bad at the same time. Overall a really good drama especially for someone who usually only hates romcom then just romance. Beautiful cinematography Def a much watch:)
(I did think in the starting eps they did make Zhang linghe too glowy, I get that their trying to dramatise his looks/charm but was a little over the top lol, and they seem to make the background 🌀 in a bunch of clips where unnecessary but im pretty sure no one cares hahah dont listen to me )
its a good idea/storyline but wasn't executed in the best way, acting was good especially war I was so happy to see him play a diff character as the only other drama that have watched is love mechanics. The drama was shot pretty well if I compare to the other Thai bls I have watched. I think the drama would have been much better if they had focused on a little more better action and character development that way the plot holes can overlooked (maybe) Joker could have really been this baddie that everyone loves, the tattoos fit the character and everything but 98% of the show you only see Joke rather than Joker. I get that as the ML he cant be pure evil but a more Robbin hood approach could help show him as both Joker and Joke. None the less I did enjoy it and would love some reccs id you guys had any
That said, this drama was an exception, and I really enjoyed it nonetheless.
