I’ve been missing your reviews like my morning coffee, didn’t realize how much until now. Honestly, I have no idea how I ended up here, but I’m 90% sure it’s because I was following Xu Kai Cheng like a detective with a crush, thanks to " A Female Student Arrives at Imperial College" Somewhere along the trail, all the reviews and comments went off the rails (and not in a fun way).
So glad I stumbled onto this little goldmine, it’s convinced me to finally watch it and make my own judgment. And you know what they say: when women’s groups start ringing alarm bells about “inappropriate behavior,” that’s basically a spoiler alert for something interesting is about to happen..And you convinced me that something good actually happens
Why is this drama rated low? I have been laughing hard for 7 episodes
Ep.21 Update
I was looking for costume drama that has comedy,no unnecessary deaths,court politics, countless harems,angst or sadness and I think this delivered..ZLS has never failed to entertain.. sometimes I wonder if she has her own mental script other than what the director gave her..Adding Ao RuiPeng in the mix was extra..It's not perfect,it's not technical or the best cinematic out there but it was just what the doctor ordered .
FINAL UPDATE:
A Female Student Arrives At Imperial College Overall rating: 8.6 30 episodes
No magic/fantasy ✔️ Strong FL with 4 brain cells ✔️ No unnecessary deaths ✔️ Happy Ending ✔️ No Toxic court politics ✔️ A good amount of skinship (I know it's historical but I can dream) 🆗 CP who communicate and work well ✔️ Avoid every FL with Esther Yu voice(love her but not the voice) ✔️ Minimal Harems(3) ✔️ The Message about allowing women to study ✔️ Comedy 1000/10 ✔️
What I didn't like(personal opinion)
The worse villain I have ever seen❌ The Emperor just signs everything good or bad ❌ The fighting scenes (Blossoms In Adversity kicked ass) ❌ Investigation that went on way too long ❌
Someone suggest another Xu Khai Cheng Drama that is really good
Are we talking about the same drama I watched? 15 episodes out of 65 ok .anyway your opinion but from someone who has watched 265 dramas,I think this is the first time I sit through 65 episodes without blinking
Ohh how did you know, I just saw a "Destiny" pass my screen..who knows "You are My destiny" might be the next candidate just after Blossoms Shanghai.. Creativity gone rogue
How is she 29? I swear she looks 13 ,am having a hard time watching,reminds me of the FL in Skate to l
I just finished it lol Cringe fest? Yes A filler for in between shows? Also Yes I had dismissed it due to the FL looking like she is 12 but when I actually activated my auto focus mode,and ignored her tiny everything,we sailed quietly.The ML was an actual surprise, his acting range was good,probably because he has done lots of Historicals which gives him an edge.Now I need to see his other works.
Maybe I'm the unpopular opinion, but this drama was just meh, the same old story just another font. I mean, I…

If you'ra a fan of Ma Xiaoyu that's fine but why are you criticizing other actor?Ji Jun is really handsome i've…
Am not a fan of anyone..Am an adult who is a mom of 3 and I would hate my kids to be called or anyone's child to be criticized based on how they look.. Trust me if someone said something about your look,I don't think you would be laughing. Am not here to defend a stranger,am here to defend a human being..I wouldn't waste my time responding to you but someone has to call you out.
