Zhou Ye jyst fell short of executing the character here. I felt she couldn't pull off the General role, she always seemed to try too hard but just couldn't get there. She could've worked out and beefed up a bit for this role, might’ve made a dofference.
Ryan is gorgeous though I did get annoyed with how many times he kneeled in front of the Emperor 🤗 the rest, not really memorable.
I'm so conflicted about the plot here... but I think this is the best I've seen SWL act!!!
Am at ep 11 and I wish they hadn't made them get together before she went to college. That bit gives me the ick. Waiting til after the exams doesn't make it less icky either. However, I guess with two people growing up in an abusive household, being with each other would be their safe space.
I loved her in S&L but I agree about the crop top thing.I was like why would she wear that in front of a bunch…
She's just not mature enough for the role, both as an actor and the character. She's trying hard by not being all cutesy but then she comes off as dry cardboard.
It's 2026 but still some people nitpick on what a woman should wear, how she should talk, walk or behave... I…
oh puhlease... spare me the feminist movement babble... how bout both men and women cannot wear crop tops to school as teachers! It's called dressing appropriately for your profession. Don't worry, once you grow up and get a job, you'll get it, it's actually a thing 🫠
If they're going to cast someone who looks 15 as a teacher, the least they could do is dress her appropriately! What teacher has ever worn crop tops to work?! And out of all actors to dub, why don't they ever dub Esther's voice?! Even her lil cheer for the team is grating on the ears!
well that was underwhelming... how did it go from my most exciting in the first 25 eps to this boring, lifeless and dull watch? This was my fav Bai Lu character but then they all became just passive passengers. Even the final fight with Mo Jingli was, for lack of a better word, blunt and uninteresting. There was a lack of certain energy, in the whole thing and in their relationship too.
