Empress and Consort are the nicest female royal members I have seen in a drama. The poor Emperor is a third wheel. I think I have seen both actresses play villains. I hope Emperor stays normal for the duration of the drama.

I started binge watching yesterday, to get caught up with the comments and the drama. I have to watch nine more episodes.

I bingewatched nine episodes yesterday, and find the drama refreshing to watch, after watching two intense dramas, Wanted Detective and Legend of the Female General. Xu Kai and Tian Xi Wei are charming as Mei Zhu Yu and Wu Zhen. The costume design department did a very good job. Wu Zi Shu looks like he is going to become possessive like Chu Zhao (LOTFG). Mei's "brother" monk is a blabbermouth.

I had to skip some scenes in ep 1. I moved into ep2, and skipped a few scenes. I will pick up ep 3 later today, 🤣🤣🤣

Your review is expansive. The directors and writers could have utilized your notes during the production stage.

I think I watched three Blossom dramas. I couldn't watch the new ones. I tried to start Blossoms in Adversity, but gave up.

Blossom 🤣🤣🤣

Once in a while, his head seemed to be offcenter. I didnt know the back story about the AI substitution, and didn't pay attention to Cheng. I have seen the actor previously, but he wasn't a face that I would do research on. The drama was Nothing but You.

I think Empress ordered Emperor to permit their marriage. She and husband fought together in the wars. She knew XJ and HY's ethics and integrity.

The options were:

Legend of the Female General
Song of the Female General
Ballad of the Female General
Story of the Female General

😆😆😆

The walk down memory lane was filler. The writers could have moved up the Wutuo invasion, abd showed the army generals collaborating, planning and the execution of same. But execution would have required a budget for more soldiering extras, costuming and catering.

It should have come as no surprise that the Wutuo would invade, and the armies should have been on alert. The two master generals were idling in Jiyang. Supervisor Chu Zhao didn't participate in the war plans. He was babysitting He Yan, and practicing his flute solo. 😏

I am happy it was a fast drama. I would have been listless if it stretched out over three weeks.

When they were reminiscing about the old times, I thought of an old Korean drama, Winter Sonata where the ML and FL started retracing their past footprint. The ML had lost his memory for ten years, and didn't remember her. Its filler!

Thanks. I just saw the name Miao in the credits, and thought she was the actress. Sorry! I am not wearing my glasses. 😆😆

Was Emperor creating job titles for him? If there were more episodes, he might have been promoted to Minister of War.🤣🤣🤣

Me, too! I enjoy reading the viewers" perspective.

Maio Xiao Hui was Song Tao Tao [Li Su’s fiancé].

When Chu Zhao kept getting promotions for minimal achievements, he started manifesting fits of grandeur. 😆 The scriptwriters needed filler once they removed Xu Jing Fu and He Ru Fei.

I hope someone can compile clips of He Yan's fight scenes. I was very impressed with the fight sequences. They were well designed and executed.

I agree that the show lacked a despicable, vile villain. 🤣🤣 Xu, He, Chu, random Wutuo military leaders were not menacing enough.
