This is weirdo behavior- you do know that right?

Glad they switched up the hair on the Peacock because I was not a fan his one sided bang look!

My Yuan Luuuuuuu! I need him to survive this show and heal my AJTL heart ❤️‍🩹

typical viewer bias against FL who doesn’t fit their idea of what a FL should do or say. I agree with you about ML at the start of the show. He was suffering from hubris because of his abilities even his Master advised him to slow his roll. His arrogance kinda led to his OG downfall. He did need a little bit of humbling TBH.

Thanks for the rec- I’ll def check it out :)

100% co-sign this review! I dropped it after the first case because FL was def a Mary Sue wrapped up tightly by the bright halo of Plot Armor from 1st episode. All the “good” characters loved her from the get-go. And I HATE love at first sight. I’m too old & jaded for that lol. It is disappointing to see it reach 10000 heat index for sometime kinda mid.

So…what are ur thoughts???

I haven’t seen such a visceral reaction of hate towards a FL in a looooong time so I think that’s the reason behind the lower rating or bad review. I usually watch shows on Viki w/comments on but I had to turn it off because of how mean & nasty it became towards FL.

Amen to this! Peach! lol

Same!!! I think people viewed ML with rose-colored glasses and pretty much forgave him for trying to kill her or manipulating her. He tried to kill her up to episode 10ish- then he continued to manipulate/lied to her even though he was falling for her until she discovered his alter-ego. She may be harsh at times w/NH because of her fears but she was always honest about not wanting to start anything w/him because she feared the ending. When given the opportunity to hurt him by telling the emperor about the weapons, she didn’t. She didn’t hurt him- he sacrificed himself for her which was his choice always. He chose to continuing lying to her because like he said- he feared losing her love/trust as Shi 16. People understand his reasons for lying & forgive him but won’t show the same grace for SYM. I love SYM & NH- they’re both flawed people trying to navigate their trauma.

Just finished episode #2 and i take everything I said earlier back. This show is bad even with no expectations hahahaha. I don’t think imma continue 😑 I’m so desperate for a new show! After back to back greatness of POB & ADWAD, I need a new obsession!!!

I think enjoyment of any drama depends on the expectations going in. I randomly started episode 1 and am enjoying it for what it is- a fluffy, tropey romance driven drama that will prob be forgettable but not offensive? Hope they makes sense lol

I didn’t want to mention any names but I can’t take Ao RoP seriously as a god of war. He was so adorable as WuJi in Blood of Youth & I feel that character suits him better.

Same! I tried to watch a new show that also had a crown prince but the ML just didn’t have the same screen presence or aura as Nan Heng. TBH, Song Mo (Blossom) & Wei Shao (PoB) & Nan Heng have raised the bar way up when it comes to portraying Generals or Royalty on screen lol

It has a rating of 8.6 on MDL & Doubin rating of 7.0. A lot of people wrote reviews of it singing its praises & it’s getting lots of positive reactions on Weibo, X, Reddit, and Tik Tok. So if by 12 episodes ur still not enjoying it then it’s prob not ur cup of tea :)

I asked the same question myself lol. It’s never explained so just go with it!

I couldn’t help but laugh because of the “balance-of-pairing logic” from ADWAD — this show’s FL maid paired with the ML side-kick lol too spot on!

Glad u pointed it out because it brings up the concept of nature vs nurture. The environment you grew up in can affect how you handle adversity & your own moral compass helps guide your choices in life. Nature & nurture are both just as important in shaping who you are as a person 👍 Speaking of compass- how does a person look like a compass??? 😆

The wedding scene between Shangguan He & Yi Ting was so sweet and the transition to YM helping NH dress was so good. I don’t know why but YM helping NH was so intimate to me. And holding hands to walk to the balcony 💕 ahhhh! They are so adorable

Yeah- don’t waste ur time on the Princess Gambit. That was a bad show. Even FF it didn’t help 🤦‍♀️
