The baby also seemed to focus on the butterfly that was CGI. Good acting! 🥰

He was on call 24/7. 🤣🤣🤣 Every time that Yan and Jue huddled, I was waiting for Zhao to pop out of the woodwork.

I saw Doggie. It looked that his legs were entangled in his leash. But it was nice to see him or her dressed for a wedding.

He had some serious SLS (... second lead syndrome). 😆😆😆

Bai Shu did his best Ru Fei performance when he was in prison.

Xu Jing Fu and He Ru Fei should have had their trials and executions.

The comparison between He Yan and Mulan is on point. Xiao Jue was written as a supporter more than a conqueror general.

He got a promotion every few weeks. Payroll must have had a hard time adjusting his payscale. 🤣🤣🤣

If there were 40 episodes in the planning stage, you can wonder what they removed from the production line. We didn't need to revist the Academy or see the old flashbacks.

Bad enough, he kept the caramel candy stick in a box. It was melting away. He is lucky the ants never broke into the box. He should have been able to laminate it, to preserve it.

Thst was a SAF scene. Delulu Zhao and Paranoid Emperor! 🤣🤣🤣

She ran away because of a arranged marriage to Cheng. She began collaborating with him on medical cases, and they grew on each other? Is that her story? 😆😆😆

You can begin to understand Xu Jing Fu's POV about Emperor. 😆😆😆

She was OK. I didn't even memorize her name or her role. They would refer to TaoTao, and I couldn't remember who that person was, 😆😆😆

Most delulu character! (comment edited, because I don't remember the name of that drama with the delulu character who annoyed the viewers.)

Yes! I hope he gets a promotion to Army Liaison Officer, and gets a girlfriend. He can go between Fuyue and Xiao armies. He also does Lantern festivals and recognisance. I was expecting to see a fireworks display. LOL

My rating was 8.0 prior to today. I would raise it to 8.3 because the screenwriters went to the effort of staging a wedding finale. BGM was good, but they kept playing the same song by a female singer in many scenes. The song is pretty, btw.

I just finished the drama. Despite the warnings below about the final few episodes, I kept going and am glad it ended on a high note.

Three flaws in the final two or three episodes:

1. I wish Yan He had lived. I did not see the necessity to kill him off. Even though he was not a priority supporting character, he was still functioning as a Wei General. Screenwriters should be demoted to copywriter.

2. Paranoid Emperor is not a strong leader, and Wutuo King and his Prince Brother knew it. Emperor separated the mightiest military force in the battle to end all wars. A pathetic joke of a ruler! No wonder Xu Jing Fu ran circles around him, and he, Emperor, was clueless for years. I apologize to the MDL family for repeating myself. The Empress must have whipped him, to issue the royal edict for He Yan and Xiao Jue to marry.

3. Duplicitous Delulu of the Month Award goes to Chu Zhao, who received so many promotions for minimal accomplishments. He was fast tracking like falling rain. His demotion and employment termination are well deserved. He can paint portraits for resale in the borderlands.

I don't know if I have enough recollection on the episodes, to write a review. I will have to think about it.

The lead couple may be my favorite couple of 2025. They possessed minor flaws that are masked by their integrity and military skills. Thank God, the screenwriters and directors did not kill off the four Yezhou Garrison Rookies/Nine Battalion Soldiers, which many C-dramas do customarily.

Final rating; 8.5 (at the moment)

I am in the middle of ep 34, but I wanted to say that the two Xiao couples, Xiao Jue & He Yan and Xiao Jing & his wife, are the two most beautful drama family couples.

I am so glad that Chu Zhao and his maid assistant finally put the entitled princess Pingting in her place.

Emperor is a spineless ingrate, listening to Chu Zhao criticize the He-Zhao relationship. No wonder Xu Jingfu had run circles around him for years.

Was Bichang in TTEOTM? It's so long ago.
