My Peter Sheng Binge Era
Looking back, I don’t remember this being 60 episodes! It aired before the new regulations, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about it now that I’m used to shorter content. That said, I really enjoyed watching it at the time. It was during a phase when I wanted to watch everything with Peter Sheng—I had just devoured Go Princess Go and immediately searched for more of his work, which led me to Oh, My General.
While some of his other dramas differ in tone and style, Oh, My General feels very much in line with Go Princess Go. It’s highly comedic, farcical in places, and centers on a storyline involving war and rival kingdoms. There’s strong character development, especially in the way the lead relationship evolves and how the male lead matures. It was also the first time I came across a harem setup where the first wife is favored and admired—by the harem—more than the husband himself, which was a fun twist.
If you enjoy military-driven plots, fierce female leads, or arranged marriage tropes, this might be a good one to add to your list.
