Everything in this drama is soooo cute, especially FL and ML. The only thing that makes me want to punch my laptop screen so bad is the Xiao Siblings...XIAO HAN AND XIAO QING ARE THE WORST SIBLINGS EVER. I WANT TO SLAP THEM SO BAD! ARGGGGHHHHHHH
It's been a long time since I've put this drama on my watch list, and finally, I get to watch this drama in 2025. This drama is like a gem...every moral story of this drama is so good and the fact that they have no boring episode makes it such an amazing drama. Every cast and production team did so well, which shows why this drama will remain in viewers' hearts. If you ever find this comment and haven't watched it yet, go watch it. It's worth your time.
Also, all the cast nailed their acting. I also want to praise YangYang as Yan Po Yue. His big name as a Chinese actor is not only because of his visuals, but also because his acting is truly spectacular. He shows that Yan Po Yue is not a perfect character, it's a character with flaws, but both he and viewers can learn from every one of his journeys in the military. He is one of the best Chinese actors out there. Yan Po Ye is one of his best works.
I wonder if they could make a spin-off or a season two of this drama... 45 episodes is too short. I want more of their story, their journey.
The first 6 episodes were AMAZING. Personally, the story was great. The idea of double identities, political warfare, war, romance between two strong generals, superpower, cute relationship, comedy, angst, etc, was great. They did one of the best openings for ML (especially when he first received the jade power). I have seen 2 or 3 of Chenglei's dramas, and I didn't expect his JinAn character to be this funny. This is my first Song Yi drama, and SHE IS SO PRETTY. She did well with her acting. Their fighting scenes + their OST = amaaaziiinnggg. Liu Yuning's voice suits the fighting scenes so well. What makes this drama interesting is a unique romance in which FL fell in love with a mysterious man. I love the fact that FL is a strong general, and her house is filled with strong women.
If I can criticize, it kinda gets boring from episode 7-10 (some scenes are slow and unnecessary) BUT, it gets spiced up later on. Also, sometimes I find ML FL romance scenes cringe in early episodes *just my opinion, pls don't hate me*. I feel like their romantic relationship kinda of grew so fast... It just didn't go along with my logic at that part (considering ML is basically a stranger and FL was described as a strong/fierce general, which logically she won't put her alert down for ML as she has to prioritize her nation/military secrets). I feel like the problem was not in Song Yi's acting but how the scriptwriter wrote her character. The writer wants to build a romantic relationship between FL and ML, but some part was rushed (imo, especially in the early episodes/first half), and kinda break FL's character as the fierce female general.
I hope FL (Bailu) portrays a different character from her previous dramas. I've watched several Bailu's dramas, and I feel like she portrayed a similar character. So I hope this one is gonna be different...
I'm currently watching episode 17. I guess this is the turning point of the whole plot. I feel like the problem is poor communication. The main villain is a mentally ill woman, while other casualties (such as the dark cultivator clan) also started to take part in the plot. I'm so invested to the plot, but right now, I'm concerned with the ending. If they give a bad ending, I will be sooooo mad. Idk how the plot is gonna turn out, but it better be good or else... huft...
Personally, I love this drama. I keep up until 28 episodes so far and I think this is a good drama. I love their fight scenes, good chemistry, unique characters, and the setting of places. Good story, but kinda scared of the ending, I wonder if LOF will have a happy or sad ending...
