amazing story, fantastic characters, awesome dialogue, superb acting, great music and good cinematography and editing. how did I not watch it when it was airing???
Did u read novel i am thinking of reading it can u explain the leads i am confused
No rebirth. Fl switches identity with an assassin to get her revenge. She joins paramilitary organization led by stone faced traitor who disguises himself as capable lover of fl and she falls for him while not interested in his somber public version. BTW he does it because he too wants revenge. Alas, she is forced by her nemesis to come out with her real identity and in the process her cute lover dies. The vengeance is rampart and the desperate fl (at time all brawn no brain) goes for self destruction... Happy reading!
just read this and no wonder there's no review🙂 this was a fun watch
As predicted by your comment: very good rendition of brilliantly written characters. The plot is nothing new but HOW they framed it was unbelievably believable 😆. After rewatch it is around 7.75 for me. I now remember what was the reason for looking up Glazed Beauty - the ml is really good. FL played great s well

Honestly, I don't remember since I watched it back in November while on VD spree (I think I watched 50 of them in a week😵💫 but I gave it 7.5 and a note to go back to it so guess what? I am rewatching it 😆
hey, did you finish this? what did you rate it? I'm on ep 7 and ready to drop- somehow I don't like it... looking…
Yea, some people swear by giving it a chance in 10 episodes but I find the wife running home with spouse in her arms rather weak point and even if they share their secrets, sadly 😔 it is rather mundane...
Trailer (no subs): https://youtu.be/UivGN_tbYRQ?si=4CSysSGVrGHBVfb5I was really stoked to find another matriarchy…
me too. men baring children and secondary to women sounded good but it was choppy and ridiculously inconsistent. I would have liked it better if ml WAS treated like a girl or cross-dressing. oh well on to the next one 🫤
I would give it 8 for artistic vision including gorgeous visuals even when showing grey reality, for melancholic vibe of unfulfilled love with personal growth and wisdom, but the whole mystery/supernatural thing was not that convincing and the ending dropped it to maybe 7.75 loved the leads and was hoping for more 2ml screen time
so today I rewatched this for the second time since it aired. I did not read the book. I am not agreeing with most reviews here. I thought that the actress portraying the main lead was phenomenal. no other military character played by a woman in any other c drama came across this crude (at times even stupid) but also raw and rough as she did. Not too many actresses in China could do such an awesome job without batting an eye. I admit I've never seen Princess Agents (so I will have to check that one) but I really liked how masculine and detached her character was and how she played it- away better than that puny chick in Legend of the Female General. The story is not a romance or her life alone, there are so many layers to it and I love the moral dilemmas that this drama showed! I can't compare it to the book but the drama itself shows variety of schemes ran by various characters, Royal Court machinations, almost every character have been pushed and coerced to make impossible choices, and nearly saga-like feel for various aspects of their lives (the joyous innocence & freedom at first, gruesomeness of war in the middle and power struggle in the end). I gave it 9 and 1/2 when I first finished it in 2024 I gave it nine and a half after I finished re-watching the second time in 2025 and now I'm giving it 9 and 1/2 again. if you want something equally well done look up Secret of Three Kingdoms.
I know most people did not like Fighting for Love, but I did (I did not read the book) and it was awesome. In my opinion the way how she portrayed the female generalwas much better than any other female general that I had seen in cdrama (granted that I didn't see that many 🫤) including the legend of the female general. the roughness, the rawness, kind of dumb and crude was what I really really admired. most actresses with shy away from portraying such and characteristically stupid character. but she did and did it really well hoping that there will be a sequel because the second character pairing with a second male lead deserves more screen time. 🤩❤️🙂
Happy reading!
