First impression, 1/40 I like both the intro and prologue. Though LYN singing it did remind me of HaoYan for a bit. lol The game was also a nice nod to the novel.

YYZ and BFX's entrances were great.
It was really good, not cliche or cheesy, just right. He looked so cool, like how I imagined from the novel. While she was playful, a side of BFX that ZLS play so well.

Yes, she became the lady King of Qing because there's no one else left in her family. At the same time the commander of Fengyun army.

Her mother and brother died early, then she only went home when her father was already dying. Her family in the drama are her 6 beloved generals. They're the ones I expected to appear in the trailer.

In the novel the ml's family didn't have a huge part, the drama changed that to accomodate YY.

Yes, they already know each other for 10 years when the drama starts hence the bickering, but they're not a couple.

The drama will show flashbacks because there were child actors, but the 10 years ain't the main plot.

No mv, but the bts was nice. YYZ looked good in the poster shoot. Though it would've been better if it was for the whole cast.

Hoping this won't be like those pages where comments that aren't full praises esp. by novel readers (most already knew the author's words) are not welcomed by regulars.
Everyone should be able to not just spazz but also express different opinions as long as its related to the drama and not personal.

Anyways, the wait is almost over.
Looking forward to the pilot,
esp. Xi-er's first love and her crush. lol

Still looking forward, but yeah, 10cent knows this is highly anticipated and people will watch regardless of promos.

If you noticed, the "official" posters are basically stills thats usually released before the eps (where its from) is supposed to air. lol

I've also been following since rumor days so don't get me wrong. I know of everyone's hardwork not just ZLS. I'm not talking about the drama itself, but the promotions. Whether the team or 10cent, could've been better.

You're positive~ But I just think for an s-class drama, posters shouldn't be too much to ask. Even more so for non novel readers as its an intro to the characters.

My expectations weren't even that high to begin with, and still..
2 days to go.

The ml's entire family and people are everywhere. I did expect that. I hope to see Xi-er's family too, her generals.

Omg hahah I was thinking of TROTAR too but I was like, maybe there's other Sumos out there in cdramaland. lol

I can usually tolerate supporting characters, but fls are my deal breaker.

In the novel, no.
Iirc they're not married or engage, but they did meet during young age hence the 10 years of knowing each other. Xi'er only entered marriage alliance with ml to protect her country/people when she goes back to Qing.

What's TOFTG?
But yeah, because of that no matter how interesting the plot is I just can't get past 1-2 eps.

It started good, but like many cdramas after a few eps it went downhill.
The fl started strong but fell flat in the second half, while they could've done better with the ml. His story felt incomplete.
The Sha siblings were my fave, likable till the end.

It wrapped up well but felt anticlimactic for the beginning that it had set. And the characters that commited crimes didn't get consequences for their actions.

Overall, its okay, could've been better.
Still, this is watchable compared to other xianxia where I can't even get past the second episode.

Its been a while since I read the novel but I think that particular line by drama ml was said by novel fl.

I don't usually mind dubbing as long as its not annoying sounding like many cdramas with their fls. I also think we got a good one here.

And yes, looking forward to the enemies to brothers. lol

I wonder if this remake will have the same ending or will there be a twist.
Anyways, the cast is good, looking forward to it.

I think the drama switched their lines, hmm.. interesting...
And no wonder Xi'er sounds like ZLS, turns out its Leyan.

Ah I see. The last time I've seen her was in Sky Castle so it'd be nice to see her in a different role.

I wonder about this too since she seems to be fl status now. But I guess its okay in this film because its not the typical romance format. Just like the first announcement, she is still the ml's love interest and has more love interest than the fl.

The cast are all good, its something to look forward to.

I'm not critical with other fight scenes or scenes in general, just that one since its important to the siblings relationship esp. on how the brother viewed her after that.
