This drama is super fun to watch. Gives my JOF and F vibes. If I knew Chinese, I bet it would be even more fun! Right now - ep 8 - I have no idea what is true/fake, who is “good” or “bad” and what’s going to happen next. And doesn’t bother me at all. On the contrary, keeps me at the edge of my seat and my mind constantly thinking, which is so much better than all the predictable plots.
It’s been a joy to have two dramas - one serious (TPG) and one more humorous (ADWAD) - simultaneously airing.
Had no idea this was released until it “magically” appeared on my screen. 4 episodes later, I’m so glad it’s out. The chess board has been laid out, the players introduced! Let the games begin. So engaging. Loving the camerawork and acting. Can’t wait until the next episodes.
can anyone tell me if this is a female centric drama?
I feels female centric to me. She’s a very smart cookie. I’m like - whoa, almost too smart it’s ubelievable! Feels like Mr and Mrs Smith (american movie) with two badass leads.
Is this like the something brocade where the ML started with 3 wives/2 died. Then 1 new concubine and 2nd official…
Nah, this is very different. The other was more like a bunch of catty women and very melodramatic. this is more like her fending off all the enemies regardless of their genders and positions. It’s more thrilling.
Finally finished it after putting it on hold for a month and not having anything else to watch. I had stopped at ep 20 because it was getting a bit boring. Finishing it off felt a bit like a chore however, WAY’s amazing looks and and good acting helped me along.
Probably could’ve chopped off 4-5 episodes. I have mixed feelings about this drama. Probably could be really enjoyable with better directing, storytelling and FL.
I binged through this drama while waiting for new releases of Qingchuan's Veil of Vengeance which is also directed by the same director. Very well paced, directed, and acted drama, better than some of the long ones currently airing! suspense, action, romance, joy, and sadness all covered.
6 eps in and still engaging. The director and production crew are very good. They know how to use their resources well. Doesn’t look cheap! now I want to know more about her brother!
