Sssnoopyyy

Yeah it looks like they make SML do a lot of chasing in the drama. Hopefully it doesn’t drag the plot because I liked the way it was handled in the novel (more subtle) and the SML knew he didn’t have a chance. Romance was also not his priority. We shall see how it plays out here - hoping for the best, that they cover the main plots and wrap it up neatly

SML knew she was a woman because he saw her (without her realizing) at the beginning of the book. But only ML knew the entire truth of her identity as General Fei Hong in her first life. Ofc this will be tweaked a bit in the drama since the whole “rebirth” doesn’t exist (likely due to censorship).

Oh interesting, so they made a few tweaks here and kept some of the original script. I guess HY asks XJ to teach her in the drama? It looks like they also amped up the romance in the drama

Love ZY, she can pull off so many looks: elegant/graceful, bubbly, or cool and chic.

Yes she only ever liked the ML (besides some feelings she had for the man she married in her first life, but this part of the story was removed for the drama)

Yes there is a love triangle, the main one being;
Xiao Jue/He Yan/Chu Zhao

It wasn’t draggy or exaggerated in the novel (which I liked), more slow burn and subtle. But looks like they highlight it more in the drama based on the teasers (not sure how I feel about this but we shall see)

Based on the teasers and fan cams, at least half of the scenes you mentioned will be there - crossing the bridge, drunk scene, fighting the enemies, the confrontation when XJ finds out her identity.

I really want to see the big climatic scene where He Yan duels with He Ru Fei and exposes his true colours. There were so many great parts in the novel! Sadly we only have 36 eps so hopefully they will give us the main plots and wrap it up neatly

So happy he was casted. I am sure he will do a good job

Ughhhhhh so worried

Yeah seems like it is more romantic. Based on previews, it seems they will emphasize the love triangle between HY, XJ and CZ more (not sure how I will feel about this since the subtleties and slow burn are what made it more satisfying in the novel)

The main reason behind my anxiety is the fear of disappointment haha. Especially because there are only 36 eps to tell the whole story

Wow kudos to you on your patience and self control. Whenever I get invested, I always spoil myself hahhaa

Thought I was ready for tomorrow but not sure if I am anymore. Too many mixed emotions and anxiety. Eeeeep! And will be late in catching up since I can only watch after work eeeeek. Looool anxiety is off the roof! Don’t know what to expect but I should not have too many expectations. Regardless, I am happy to see Zhou Ye and Cheng Lei on screen, they are so visually compatible. Happy watching friends!

Thanks for flagging this, good reminders! Trying to remind myself not to compare to the novel too much, I know I will reread it after anyway. Haha

My fave couple ever

When I read the novel, I could see why she was casted. Visually, she really suits the role as the character is described as petite and delicate looking. But I agree, I hope she can deliver!

omg the dance XDDDDD you can see they were so shy especially ZY, but kudos to them for being a good sport. look at CL initiating the dancing LOL

I was kinda disappointed when I heard the teasers of the OST track, especially since one of my favourite OST artists Zhou Shen sings one of them. It doesn't pack the punch that some other OSTs do. But maybe they will grow on me once I start watching the drama.

I wonder how they will tell the story with only 36 eps because there is a lot to cover in the novel…so worried and anxious! Eek!!!

Based on the novel, the romance is more of a slow burn and the leads are both mature. So not your fluffy type of romance. If it follows the main plot of the novel, it should have proper plot development
