lol exactly

I watched the entire first half.- 22 episodes The fact that I did shows that it kept me engaged

You can make whatever conclusion you want. I am done

Let’s discuss all this talk about chemistry being off . But then we are not talking about 2 normal people falling in love. He Simu does not feel that yet for the ML and she is a spirit - so if she looking detached/uncaring it’s because of that . But in spite of that their chemistry is good - not extreme- but good . They are capturing the feel of a really young general trying to capture the heart of a 400 yr old spirit queen very well. And the way she is responding is also beautiful because unknowingly she is becoming more attached to him.

Ep 8 is truly the turning point for this drama. You will see. And I agree we have to stop all this POJ talk and start discussing this drama

This song from this drama captures it so well! It’s my favorite ost !

Exactly here they both have equal footing and are bringing their own perspectives to the drama

I have to disagree and I watched more than half that drama to make the decision to drop which means I gave it a fair chance because I liked the actors. It was the most ridiculous story on earth.

Yeah I dropped Glory too for that reason

Yes it absolutely is- goes with the tone of the drama! I should have said that up there - thanks

Well yes this is not her first time existing within a mortal and staying in the mortal world . May be she saw things through those mortals she possessed but that does not mean she understood mortals or how those senses worked. She still saw and felt things around her from a spirit’s POV

Yeah it was just bad

Thank you

Talk about overhyped dramas.

We can disagree on the story aspect. I really did not buy the story of POJ and dropped it at 22 episodes. I did not like how they never gave the ML’s character any teeth. And a mere butcher woman becoming this great general was just not believable to me.

Some people have too many irrelevant gripes here .
1. Cinematography is bad. Really? Is that the only thing that makes a drama good? According to me it is the story and actors. And they are both top notch here
2. The way He Simu’s lack of senses is shown. The interpretation here is that she lacks MORTAL SENSES but as a spirit she has her own way of figuring things out i. e spirit sense. That is how this should be interpreted. That is how fantasy works
3. I am tired of seeing these comparisons to POJ . I get it a lot of you liked that drama but is it some kind of benchmark that all other dramas should live on? Because I thought that drama severely lacking in story. So stop peppering comments about the ‘greatness’ of that drama here .

Lighting and cinematography cannot make up for a lack of good story and according to me the story of POJ was severely lacking. It was an incredulous story with no depth . I can’t just watch ‘beautiful things’ with no substance and the was the essence of POJ for me

I am thoroughly loving it so far. It is such a unique story and the leads have done an amazing job . I would watch and judge because some of these negative comments and reviews just don’t make sense atleast to me .

I did not buy the story of a mere butcher woman becoming all powerful while the real general was reduced to being a tool for romance . No amount aesthetics and cinematography can top a good story. I am not against showing a strong FL- but not at the expense of the ML character or suppressing other characters just to elevate the FL with an incredulous story is not my cup of tea. I dropped it after 22 episodes .

The Long Ballad was so good and this one is good too and these manly costars really work well for her. Especially when Dilraba is playing the strong FL. She does it so gracefully without overpowering them . But then both Wu Lei and Chen Feiyu are powerful actors
