I just managed to finish it and it was nice , I love Tian Xiwei acting and she pulled the character insanely well, ZLG did well too

Tian Xiwei and Lin Muran had some crazy acting show offs and chemistry together, I hope to see them acting together in the future

I have a problem because I loved the villains a lot which never happened when I read the novel, all villain actors and the director elevated their characters a lot

They aren't releated, they didn't grow together, heck their parents barely know the other child, they are basically strangers.

FL mother treated ML mother as a sister and helped her when needed but even that was like 2 decades before.

He's 30 and she's 24, are you seriously making a big deal for a 6 years gap between grown adults?

Some of you are mad for the shake of being mad.

Is a FL centric story with TXW playing both FL and villain, what exactly did you expect? Not only FL has more screentime in female centric stories but in this case the main actress play one of villains too.

If ML has more screentime than Zhang Jingyi had in Legend of Zang hai, I'll be pleased

Yan Zheng and Qi Min were both toned down a lot. on comparation Qi min younger brother Sui Yuanqing is more or less similar in the novel.

Based on novel Qi min don't care about his brother, he's lying and they aren't blood brothers either but if I remember his younger brother did cared a bit about his older brother

The novel is so big, they could worked with more newer actors, it seams they wanted to piss up everybody.

Dylan shouldn't be ML or if he chose to be, he should accept second billing and be a supporting role for FL, the story is about her

Both of them had relationships during their break up, not only ml.

It will likely change in drama, they did the same in speed and love, they erased fl previous relationship or theyll make it platonic, precisely because people cant handle drama characters acting .like normal people.

Spoiler i guess, they are more acquaintance, ml and fl barely spoke a few words when their parents were married for a very short time, both of their parents were shitty people, fl and ml had no relationship, not siblings, not even friends, even after his father died and her mother left, Ml was finding her a burden and wanted to abandon her a couple of times. They got closer after living alone couple of years and by living, i mean surviving as 2 minors without parents.

I find both red flags for different reasons, FL is manipulative and cunning (and smart)

Ml while not red flag by nature, he has a big mouth where sometimes does and say things he doesn't mean, hes also involved in a lot of illegal works since he's young.

But both have a backstory where you'll see how they ended like this.

Im sure both will be toned down in drama.

It looks like a european setting in the past

There are 3 years between them in real life, hes born in 1999 and shes in 2002, either way in both cases thats not older man, younger woman, they are both similar ages

Tian Xiwei wasnt dubbed, in fact from memories i don't remember if she was ever dubbed in any drama i watched from her

Xu kai was dubbed

She was one of the actresses I thought pulled out in my mind lol

I get that no cdrama actress is masculine, that's not the issue, the issue is that she looks way too feminine, I don't want to give other dramas as example because there is no point but I saw more convincing gender bending roles, even from not that vast experience in cdrama world and even there I had to shut my brain from some things.

I didn't read the novel, I plan to read it after I finish the one I read it right now so not sure whats in the novel but in the drama it looks very unrealistic even with brain shut, she's not even passing as a lanky young boy, let alone as a general.

But well I guess if is interesting enough, I could close my eyes and shut down my brain completely lol

I like the story but is so unrealistic, gender bending is always a bit of brain shut but this is too much

My bigger complain, I like Zhou Ye but shes not realistically good playing as a male,

1. Couldn't they could cast somebody thinner and shorter as her brother, she was replaced by a man taller and bigger and nobody noticed
2. ML knew her since childhood, never noticed her voice and actions?
3. Zhou ye has a very feminine face, soft features, thin body, short frame, she simply looks very feminine, putting her in a ponytail don't make her male looking
4. Acting, actually she's acting very girly, not cheerful but very girly, especially with ML, I don't think I saw as girly gender bending before
5. ML is one of more manly looking leads and looks like could fit as a general so FL alongside him looks even more ridiculous trying to play as a general

Like i said, you need some brain shut in every gender bending but this drama is making it impossible even with brain shut

Story wise is okey, I liked that ML find out she's a girl fast, I don't like when ML find out at the end or later part, I like that is fast placed too.

It will be better and more realistic if they don't end together. I was actually praying during last eps for them to not end together. ML deserve better honestly.

If they wanted to throw a bone to viewers, give us a nice love interest for ML.

I just ended the novel and I must say the writer was out to get poor Jin Zhao, I read and wondered how much a single person can carry and the writer "delivered" until the end with the accident. At least he got his happy ending because the journey was surely crazy. One thing I appreciate, he had the best friends which stayed with him though blood, sweat and tears, literally.

I actually quite liked the novel, wasn't what I expected from teaser and people comparing it with other shows.

ML was a gentleman and soft hearted for FL and you can tell at one point he lived only for her.

Hopefully not part of some love triangle, I'll be mad if they randomly add a love triangle, the drama doesn't need it.

FL wasn't exactly a broken soul in Speed and Love, in fact she was pretty much opposite, spoiled and pampered with no worry in life, her mother spend all her attention on her, her only step back was her parents divorce but I wouldn't say she was broken because of it, maybe just affected how she saw marriage life.

She herself said her only worry in life was school and sleep.
