Has nothing to do with Netflix whatsoever itās basically with that script. The FL is made into a Hercules and goddess of war overnight with super military gumption and is given all the generals to kill while the MLās who is the general of available generals is given something like five minutes of screen time fighting. Itās a hot mess after the first arc. I gave it an eight out of 10 purely because of the acting the cinematography that type of thing the villains were very convincing as well, but the fact that she caused deaths of soldiers, but never faced any consequences and basically physically abused him was all said and peachy.
Calendar (Official Airing Schedule) is officially announced šAired at 6 PM China time (5 PM MDL time)28 March…
I was just going to say the times are off on the clock and in the schedule as well but I did message a staff member so hopefully itāll be fixed by the time the thing premieres.

Before, yes, I wrote a review for every single drama I watched you could actually check them out on my profile. Bermuda is worth it because then when you get like what we have here a plethora of what look like generic reviews of pretty much the same thing and then you have a few people writing unbiased reviews, future viewers know who to read and whether something is good or not. Some peoples reviews you can tell them from a mile away that itās always going to be a 10 and everything is always going to be perfect. Other people will always rated as ones or twos and everything will always be horrible. Then thereās the middle ground folks and then thereās those of us that rate based on what we have finished watching and we donāt blame the actors, but we take careful consideration of everything we see.
I'm at episode 20 and it's been an annoying slog so far. it's not the fault of the actors. it's the script of…
DEI feminists dream š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£; great point. This one literally was hijacked by the second lead. But the writing for the actual leads wasnāt much better either. I think this is ZLH learning how to find quality scripts sometimes he gets them and sometimes not so much.
A small piece of advice when watching dramas never go in with any expectation that way, you will not be disappointed if it fails to meet anything. Thatās what I do anyways. Of course you are allowed to take the advice or not. š

I actually did exactly that I copy and paste it because you were not the only one encouraging me to do it and that means a lot to a reviewer when more than one person in different locations not just this comment section says I miss your reviews. Please post something. So that comment is now a review. I actually stuck a link up in one of the comments above because with nearly 200 reviews who the heck knows where itāll end up, but unlike at least one person on this page who is literally spamming the comment section with the link to their review those that know me know that if I put a link up, itās only because there are too many reviews and people may not find mine but usually I donāt put a link up so itās up there and wherever itāll ultimately land is where itāll be as usual. Thatās the other thing with me as well. If I start writing about something I wonāt stop, but I just donāt want to repeat myself and because Iāve already said certain comments so many times on this page I really donāt want to and didnāt want to rewrite them again and again and again I was always very unhappy with the military arc and what they turned, the leads into instead of creating something understandable and substantial and showing the ML in his element, they made her wonder woman and made him. Oh I donāt know a poodle.
OK, I listened to you guys and I put that giant comment as a review. Itās not my usual type of reviews so I hope it still meets the standards that I know you guys have set for me. The ones who have read my reviews over the last six years. First review in three shows I guess itās a plus. I canāt promise, I will write any in the future maybe they will be just like this a big comment and then in it goes. So unfortunately, no pros and cons sections and no would I recommend it either. Because there are nearly 200 of them hereās the link I donāt know where itāll land eventually and thatās entirely up to the readers. https://mydramalist.com/profile/Enigma05/review/551932

Yours looks more like a full review than mine. The only thing I can do with mine is just copy and paste it into the review thing above and then let people know that itās in there. Yeah, I think that the first arc I agree with you was the absolute strongest and then it just went downhill fast. The last dark I think was just kind of let go, but I do like the fighting sequences here and there and I mean, even the political portion of it wasnāt as strong as it could be and you totally forgot the main principal until episode 139 or even 40 when WY explained everything. It was just literally a waste of space and they had 40 episodes at least 20 of which they messed up royally.
Well, I finally finished it. I couldnāt even really watch that otherworldly alternative universe because it…
Thank you very much. Your words are kindly appreciated both in regards to the reviews and the health. I hope I will be able to write a proper review again in the near future. See you in future dramas. ā„ļøā„ļøā„ļø
My thoughts after finishing the show spoiler below:
Well, I finally finished it. I couldnāt even really watch that otherworldly alternative universe because it didnāt make sense. They brought everyone back, but why didnāt they bring back the parents of the leads because wouldnāt that make sense if QM is the actual emperor? And we never even found out whose dream or alternate universe was played out because nothing was written on the screen. In any case I give it after a careful thought an 8/10 because though it started off super strong, I think with great character development in that little village. The military arc was a complete mess and they turned someone who had no military experiments couldnāt read couldnāt write had no tact for military anything into goddess of war overnight and she was able to kill all the important generals while the man whose the Marquis, itās his niche it really was was watered down and his fight scenes came to be about five minutes each.
I have spoken a great length in the comments about this before, so I donāt feel like reinventing the wheel and basically repeating what I had written. I think those people that agreed with me will agree with me here as well and if they feel like commenting, please do, we can continue having conversation in regards to it. The other thing that people mention was the fact that his power was on the battlefield was more talked about than actually shown, which was also unfair. I understand that ZLH he was excited for this role because it was the first time he had ever played a general and got to fight a little bit or rather it was filmed like a lot, but was cut. I was very dissatisfied with the FL in that second arc she couldāve stayed at that Stonequarry and used her brute force, and she wouldāve eventually run into her husband, but the fact that she essentially treated him like crap, even if he wasnāt who he said he was she made a lot of errors the cost lives and walked away without consequences and that was just unrealistic writing to me.
In the last arc, it seemed that people just forgot what the show was really about and that was understanding the truth of what happened 17 years ago and getting that vindication and vengeance. The fight between uncle and nephew I think was all right. I canāt say it was great. The real standout character here was DK. Iām very very proud of him for the role that he put off as the absolute complex lunatic. However, I feel very bad for him because now he canāt even go to pee at an airport without fans sticking phones in his face, and the guy is so shy in real life completely opposite of the character yāall saw that the overnight success is driving him a little batty.
In any case this show couldāve been so much stronger. I feel had it been written stronger and from the novel readers perspective, I think that had they written the leads as a unit and really developed the FL into at least a foot soldier forget all those titles that were heaped upon her because of people that sang her praises in court and her brute strength. The other thing that I really didnāt like was the fact that she used physical abuse a lot she slapped him and hit him and punched him when they were having arguments and thatās just not how it rolls. I donāt care what gender she was like. A light version of Amber Heard. It made me wonder in some cases whether she loved him at all because thatās not how you show love. I understood because of her rough upbringing. She was not going to be this googly eyed whatever but there are different ways of showing love and sadly I think it missed the mark. So thatās my take on the show. As you guys know I have taken a hiatus from writing reviews because of my health so this is the most that I can do and say. I really truly wish and I am disappointed that ZLH did not get a chance to showcase his fighting or his characters fighting rather giving that heās the general of all generals and instead they gave her all of these scenes and all military law and code and everything was forgotten just so she could shine and it was just ridiculous. He had more fighting skill and showcasing it in the first arc when he was injured to the point of death, then he had in his niche arc and I think that the problem there is completely in revolving because of poor writing and directing. I know a lot of people loved it. Iām happy for that, but for me personally as a writer, as an editor of scripts, I feel that it was very incorrectly written.
You can make people equally powerful, a great unit like shows like Fated Hearts (Iām not comparing it to anything and I donāt compare shows but that show just shows a equal unit between ML and FL sheās got the pros with the bow and arrow and heās got the pros with the sword and the two of them were invincible, a real power couple from start to finish there was never anything lacking or taking away from a character to add to another character.) without making one basically Robo Barbie, and the other one her poodle. It was basically reverse gender issues I guess or sexism. It was unfortunate. But because of the stellar acting of the actors, all of them leads, support couples, everyone is why Iām giving this an eight. Honestly, I donāt even remember the OSTās that much. I also think that that Li tutor shouldāve been killed not just exiled if that abdicated emperor was murdered in so were the other conspirators. He should not have gotten away with just confiscation of property and exile because he had a great grandson that begged for his mercy. This man was just as culpable as WY. People see WY as also a victim and at the beginning, he was but his later choices killed a lot of people so heās got to face the consequences. And lastly, the cinematography was beautiful so give the show a go.
Thank you to those of you who took the chance to chat with me in the comment section I look forward to seeing you in future dramas take care and stay blessed. š
Agreed fully the military arc was very underwhelming and made one woman without experience basically the goddess…
Basically, that was the biggest problem. Iām finishing up but I wonāt write a review. Iāll probably just do a long comment here unless people tell me that it sort of sounds like one at the end and I donāt know what to give it yet. Ratings wise either, but that military arc was such a disappointment, especially after starting so strong in the very first one. And this palace arc itās just not delving deep into the original issue of betrayal.
You guys do realize that the TRUE villains were the old Emperor and that rat, the Grand Tutor Li, right??? šæAnd…
Agreed fully the military arc was very underwhelming and made one woman without experience basically the goddess of war overnight. While the real God of War was watered down to almost no fight scenes.
