ooop it's mangotv production; is the sub decent or do i have to wait for a while until they hire actual translator?

i feel like there is no narrative sequence to the episodes so we can just pick any episode to watch and would not be missing too much lol. the concept is confusing but at least the casts have good chemistry and funny enough to carry the show.

gong jun's 'stop fighting you guys!' is a meme at this point lolol

totally agree with the lessened emotional impact. i remember while reading, the juxtaposition of her being trapped as a blind and sickly wife in a horrible family surrounded by nasty servants, after living her whole life under his brother's identity and managed to reach the peak as a general... and then being trapped again in a new weak body and having to train again from zero... all of that was condensed into one episode. talk about downplaying the significance of a background story.
i just wish they did not do that just to add a draggy third party-induced jealousy arc or any nonsense like that.

so far (for the only 4 eps that i've watched) i think zhou ye kinda deliver the smol but agile and smart aspect of the character. there are two modes of he yan that i've observed so far, the more girlish side during her private moment, and when she's in front of people who supposedly knows who she actually was; and the more assertive side as her sort of public persona. she yaps a bit more compared to he yan that i remember from the novel. but i can still accept this as somewhat her trying to create another persona to distance herself from her previous identity as he rufei. i also just realize that xiao mai character exists to kinda balances her, so that she wasn't the only pretty boy in the whole military camp (and this is also probably the only reason why the production team keep his character in the drama and not the older brother).
i wish going forward they could show a more charismatic and gritty side of he yan, especially during the more intense battle scene in the future episodes.

Same! I can't remember the details but i didn't think he rufei was this prominent in the story. He was just kinda being useless annoying background character i think(?)

no but i have question for ep 1... why do they change clothes out it the open like that like do they not have locker room or something back then?

Ouch, pretty sure i've watched this few days ago but when i went back i couldn't find it anywhere 😔

i'm currently on ep 9 and i've been enjoying the humor here and there. however, the misunderstandings that keep piling up... i truly wish there's something more to it, like, someone behind the scene messing with things, and that the leads would soon realize things and band together to fight this actual culprit. but, seeing the comments here... i think it's safe to say there has been no significant progress yet about the misunderstandings.
well, there are still about 16 eps to go so, probably would put this one on hold until it's finish airing then.

i mean... you can just skip the last episode... XD

finishing ep 05(? i'm confused why are there 2 eps marked as ep 05) and i'm cackling at how they're bargaining the car rent price with extra hot pot seasoning XD. liang ge is such a gem, i hope this would bring better recognition for him to get more business in the future.

i'm currently on ep 04 and so far, i understand why people said it's the best season. they're all just overall very nice people who only wants the best for each other, always open to discuss and communicate whenever problem arises. no one holds grudge for petty issues cause they talk about it immediately. they're also willing to understand and very sympathetic to each other's difficulties.
wang anyu seems like he's hard carrying the whole tour so far but it's mainly because he's being ambitious and perfectionist. i'm glad he can talk about it with his tour guide partner. he has a tendency to make decision first and confirm later lol. probably cause he already consider various possibilities in his head and make conclusion on his own. it's good that hailu jie can remind him (gently) to always ask for others opinion before making decisions. i hope he can let loose a bit and feel less burdened about his responsibility in future episodes.

MING TAN!!! i was rooting for you!!! and then you show up in a situation when clearly you can contribute nothing, and make it worse instead! all the unnecessary casualties! *facepalm*

i'm still on ep 26 but hooo my God

It just came out on wetv (at least in my region) today and they released all 20 eps at once and fully subbed. Was really surprised at the production quality because, at least visually, it looks like a solid full length drama budget. So i checked here and the 6.4 rating took me by surprise. Probably because it wasn't subbed before? It's really weird tho, why people rated it if they don't even understand it.

I understand what you mean by logical standpoint. But, maybe, at that moment jiang xu was kinda torn too, so he wasn't really giving his all to stop her. He knew she was sad, but he also knew she shouldn't be there. So in a moment of hesitation, she escaped from his grasp. That still did not explain the guards... but maybe they were also gauging the response of their leader, and seeing no clear instructions... they didn't react... that's my only defense that i could think of to try to settle the situation in my brain, lol

"how ML forgot about his revenge on FL's because he love her but still didn't trust him and hiding things and then FL do something where ML forgive her easily" i mean, you're not wrong, but isn't that kinda the point?
my take on this show is, unlike the glory or the double or even blossom, this story is NOT about how to exact a revenge to your enemy, but to forgive them. as wei shao's grandma has said 'let's face hatred with kindness' (or something like that). this is wei shao's journey to let go of his generational trauma and hatred, and live for the present, instead of keep dwelling on the past.
it's not about who's angrier or easier to coax. xiao qiao came into the wedding agreement with mission to keep everyone happy despite the tensions. but she wouldn't let anyone step on her either. the drama might not showing enough of the gravity of the situation; it's decidedly leans more into silly romcom interpretation; but the heart remains the same. and if people came here expecting vengeance and full on redemption of the past, this drama is probably not the right place.

i read it on galaxytranslations, but they seems to have changed the address. maybe you can check some of the discussion threads above for more info.

So true. I read it too but it's been a while so there were many parts that i forget. But from what i remember it was a lot more intense and angsty and the ML was being a typical a**hole from that era. Some of the jokes do feels badly timed but i already decide that i would turn my brain off and just enjoy the ride with this one.

After watching 19 episodes i still stand by my comment from earlier episodes that this is a romance (& comedy) drama first and foremost. We get schemes and battle of wits but what seems like a political warfare is actually a build up for the main couple relationship.
And this is not me complaining, in fact this drama shows up right on time when i'm needing something that is fluffy but still has substance.
However, i imagine that people coming here expecting intense revenge, political strategies, and wars, would be severely disappointed.
