fl's imaginations were absolutely cringe for me, so I skipped those bits of the drama but the rest of it was decent for a one sided romantic drama. it's a light show to pass time.
as a food drama though it failed in my opinion. I skipped most of the eating parts..
It was an okay watch to pass time, though I skipped a lot in second half of the drama! if it wasn't for ml. I might have dropped this halfway. I don't know why but their chemistry was decreasing rapidly per episode.. by the end of it, I didn't care if they got together.
it was a fun drama with good amount of comedy but in the last few episodes it became too serious! lost all its comedy.. and became angsty.. so I won't be re-watching it in future. it's a shame that it became like this. this was one of the few dramas that the cross dressing wasn't cringe. the fl is pretty yet fits the cross dressing aspect of the drama and although had a bubbly personality didn't become stupid.
I could only endure 5 episodes! the acting is meh.. they barely have facial expressions and when they have it's unnatural! the little pauses during dialogues makes it unbearable for me. The pacing of the story was too slow for me.
I'm not sure if I should watch it.. I liked Guan Yue in some of his previous dramas, but he isn't ml... someone please tell me is his character evil? or just a third wheel? how much screen time does he have?
Overall it was an okay one time watch. It's not something I would recommend anybody to watch though.maybe I have…
a general list of warnings for those of you considering watching this: violence (it's scattered in whole drama), gore (ep 1, 4 and 7 are the more extreme ones, ep 16), rape (2 and 21) SA (ep 15, 25) suicide (ep 16)
Overall it was an okay one time watch. It's not something I would recommend anybody to watch though. maybe I have watched too many dramas/movies with horrible characters, either way I don't find the violence in this drama something specially traumatizing. does it need trigger warnings? Absolutely!
as if watching Hanyi telling Sato his love story wasn't funny and absurd enough, they suddenly show Sato being all touched and teary eyed! come on, this was too funny!!
It was interesting at first but became boring in second half. I don't dislike the contrast of using female empowerment…
it was all a dream... the dream part didn't really bother me that much since there wasn't any romance but It would've been better if we got some interaction between fl and the child actors. they were brats in their first meeting and fl was arrogant as well, it would've been nice to see how fl's change of heart about kids fix their communication issue.
It was interesting at first but became boring in second half. I don't dislike the contrast of using female empowerment and all but I don't enjoy too much insertion of modern values in ancient setting. it was too much that killed the vibe for me. Although I like the actor, ml could as well be listed as a support role, he didn't have much presence even when he was there!
I know it's been 3 months since you posted this comment but if you remember this drama, can you please spoil the ending to me? I just watched ep7 and I'm not sure if I should continue.. how crazy is the ex?
I just finished watching this drama, It wasn't bad. Though it's not as good to make me want to re-watch it. I…
I think the whole anle identity reveal could've come earlier, although I enjoyed fl's refreshing aspect, it was dragged for too long. the actress that played the fake Ziyuan was very dull... I skipped her scenes as much as I could and her lack of facial expression makes it hard to figure if she meant it when she finally got free of all the drama! I felt bad for the poor guy who fell for her!
I was starting to doubt if I should drop it when finally the secrets of the past surfaced and made me continue.. my 2 interesting parts were the whole evidence reveal and Anning's statement about the emperor's mother and the killing of that official that lead to Wen Shuo's real identity.
the whole war process made my blood boil... I felt bad for Anning.. she deserved better than that... I hated how she died.. it made me angry rather than sad.
I just finished watching this drama, It wasn't bad. Though it's not as good to make me want to re-watch it. I did skip bits and pieces while watching (without losing track of anything) so I could say the pacing was slow for me.

you'd better not get attached to any character, cause many will die!
only fl and gu lady stays alive.

regarding the ending... (in spoiler)
is it worth a watch? how is the end for his chatacter? I don't mind spoilers.

the last 5 or 6 episodes felt like fillers..
