Within a short period of time, I finished watching my first three historical Chinese dramas, and thatās rare for me to do. Normally, I avoid them because of the overly fictional elements, like flying fighters and the unusual male hairstyles. However, after watching The Legend of Female General, The Double, and The Prisoner of Beauty, I have to admit that the plots were truly captivating, and the actors did an excellent job portraying their roles. Even the action and fight scenes were intense and very well filmed. I did notice some recurring ideas across the dramas, but each story had its own unique twists and turns.
As for The Prisoner of Beauty, I really enjoyed the storyline. I especially felt for the general and the FLās maid coupleātheir story brought warmth and balance to the plot, as did the generalās friendships. The leads also delivered strong performances, portraying the āenemies-to-loversā theme convincingly, even though she wasnāt really an enemy at firstājust cautious. Overall, Iād give it a solid 9/10.
I just finished watching The Prisoner of Beauty. I felt like the ML jumped from one plot to another with the same looks, genre, and style of dressing. Even the actress here resembles the FL from that drama. I know the plot is different, but I donāt knowā¦ it feels like not much has changed. Iām not sure if Iād watch his drama here, even though he did really well in The Prisoner of Beauty.
Drama deserves+8 rating I think Cdrama will become more popular if they reduce the excessive number of eps
I completely agree about the number of episodes! Itās too long, and sometimes they drag the plot by focusing on minor storylines or unnecessary details.
One of the reasons I got interested in this drama was because of Zhou Ye. She did an awesome job in portraying her role. Her fighting scenes with her fierce expressions were simply fantastic.
If He Yan and He Ru Fei are step siblings with no blood relation, does that mean one of them is adopted or that…
In Legend of the Female General, He Yan and He Rufei are step-siblings, not blood-relatedāthey do not share the same father or mother.
He Yan and her mother were accepted into the He family when she was around three years old, which makes He Rufei her stepbrother, and she is not biologically related to the main He family.
As the drama unfolds, He Rufei returns later and attempts to usurp her identity and her military achievements, setting up a dramatic conflict where he leverages her stolen honor for himself.
So, to be crystal clear: He Yan and He Rufei are not related by blood, neither maternally nor paternally. He Yan was essentially adopted into the household, hence she's referred to as his step-sister.
