I really enjoyed watching Shadow Love!

I loved this show! I love that she’s a female general from the beginning. We don’t have to watch her fight for the right to be a general. We just right away get to see her Authority and power. All of those things are so physically demanding. I also love that she had like only women at her house and how kind her character was, but also fierce, intelligent and brave .

OMG Cheng is soooo hot! The way his every move is dripping with seduction. He is also a great actor, not just eye candy. I liked how it felt like real interactions between them. They weren’t afraid to have them get close before the episode half way point. Which made me think they would be separated early on but thankfully they weren’t. They have great chemistry.



I think the people obsessed with her age are weird. For 1 I haven’t watched anything with either of them before. So I didn’t know her age going into this. I thought they made a great couple. I think the age issues are when the FL is an actual minor with a grown man. How is this weird? I imagine the ppl who have a problem with this are jealous teeny boppers who think they have a shot with the ML. 2 she is playing a general who commands an entire powerful army. Do you think an 18-20 year old would be a general? 3 She doesn’t look old to me at all. She is beautiful and a good actress.

I am glad she didn’t have to act like she wasn’t attracted to him, like they make women play in most c/k dramas. Where I will be watching a show and be like how many women would resist this mans charms IRL? Not many. There will be such an attractive, sexy man and they are getting closer physically and then in most dramas she runs away. Girl IRL what woman is running away from this? So I am glad they didn’t write it that way.

There were a few things in the story I thought didn’t fit. like when they didn’t tell the PrinceSu Mu Yang their plan and he believes they abandoned him. at the very least when they returned them back to the generals mansion, they could’ve told him, but I don’t get why they returned them back to the mansion anyway cause that just ruined their whole plan and efforts.

i also don’t think the crown prince Su Mu Yang was that young he would pretend his right hand was injured to the FL or have such severe personality flaws that were so drastic to what they showed us that made his change of character unbelieveable to me.

I also think when Prince Annan returned he would have locked up the evil empress right away.

I also think that Prince Annan would have been able to find out that the man i black was loyal to her.

and that he could have written himself a long letter detailing everything he had been theough because hello he knew he was going to lose his memory for so long. he could’ve written about all exactly what happened everything that he loved about her and their experiences everything they went through all the stuff about the people that were after him like everything could’ve been detailed, and he could’ve done it in his own handwriting and written things in a way that’s so when he read it, he had to believe that it was true because it would be in his own handwriting and he could’ve even put something in it that would make him know that it was him, but instead, he does draws pictures on the wall, as if he’s illiterate so those were like things that I think were not realistic.

I thought throughout the whole story that I was impressed with how it was written. I thought it had a lot of really good elements. It was very entertaining, definitely binge worthy. I will rewatch it at some point to drool over Cheng. I just watched another of his shows and he seems like a whole different person/actie which shows what a good actor he is.
