Anne: Glad Tuesday once more everybody! I’ve survived by way of one other audit, and I really feel a lot extra relaxed this week. I am planning to creating certain that we have now a greater course of in place so we do not have to work so exhausting, and on the final minute, subsequent time. Moreover these regular frustrations, I am discovering myself turning into extra pissed off at work, sigh. Effectively… with all this stress surrounding me each second of day-after-day, I am truly carrying out numerous crafts.
In the midst of work and my crafts, I did additionally watched a bunch of exhibits. However just one just lately aired one.
Combating for Love
I began this on Sunday and went by way of the primary 7 episodes as a result of I could not cease. The story begins with a really complicated scene that led to the annihilation of a complete household/clan. It was the FL’s reminiscences (A Mai) of her adopted elder brother killing her father and resulting in her household’s demise.
Within the current time, A Mai is pretending to be a person, who’s within the capital looking for the pinnacle of a spy group so as to get data on her adopted older brother. Whereas she was attempting to infiltrate the brothel the place she has data that this spy chief will likely be, she inadvertently runs into an assassination try on Yi Zhi, the eldest son of a basic and his spouse, the Grand Princess, who’s the elder sister of the present Emperor. The Emperor has systematically killed off each younger man who was born in a specific 12 months, as a result of he needs to eradicate any risk of the earlier Crown Prince’s offspring (he is attempting to kill off any nephew from his ex-Crown Prince brother). And take a guess who Yi Zhi actually is? His mom informed him about his delivery at his dad’s dying mattress, which was a situation additionally attributable to the Emperor. The Emperor jogs my memory numerous Emperor within the Legend of FuYao, the one who was all the time loitering round like an ineffective previous man however who knew every thing and has schemes upon schemes to get the world to observe his plan.
With a purpose to put together Yi Zhi to guard himself, his mother organized for 3 grasp martial artists to show her son the best way to battle. And these 3 masters of his are the pinnacle courtesans of the brothel that Yi Zhi typically spends numerous days and night time in. Now, the night time when A Mai saved Yi Zhi from the murderer, she was in a position to meet the spy group she was looking for as a result of that individual simply occurs to be Yi Zhi’s grasp. The brothel was clearly “discovered” by the Emperor and he’d despatched his most deadly killer to eradicate the whole nest. Now… our ML finds out that A Mai is a woman virtually from the start, and it is not as a result of he is sensible or clever. He simply occurred to catch a glimpse of her taking a shower (do not ask me why this woman forgot to shut a window/door when she was attempting to guard her secret).
Yi Zhi’s mom was in a position to get him assigned to a army base the place his dad’s previous comrades can help in defending him. Within the meantime, A Mai heads off to a separate metropolis after the spy grasp tells her to hunt another person there to seek out data on the individual she is searching for. A Mai walks right into a city the place Yu Qing, the final of the opposing nation, is coming to take over to discover a weapon designer. Yu Qing is a superb character, and the actor (Wang Rui Chang) performed him very well. He is a ruthless killer with rules. This is without doubt one of the few dramas the place when the FL is totally separated from the ML for fairly just a few episodes, and never solely was I not bored, however was actively engaged in all her adventurers. After escaping from that state of affairs, she then runs into Yi Zhi, who has been hiding within the forest for the previous couple of days, dodging assassins…despatched by…guess who?
It has been some time since a drama has actually captivated my curiosity. I like A Mai’s character, and sure whereas her “male” costume would not actually make her that a lot of a “man”, it positively is not “girly”. So if I had perhaps, one eye closed, I can in all probability consider that she is a man. I additionally love Yi Zhi’s character, a boy who actually did not perceive the hazard that his mother and father’ spend their total lives, and even now, defending him from. Up to now, he is simply starting his journey of development and his foolish “happiness” each time he “runs” into A Mai is tremendous cute.
If this drama stays with this tempo all by way of 36 episodes, this would be the first of my favourite exhibits of 2024!
The Case Solver (1, 2 and three)
I am unable to bear in mind how I got here throughout this drama. I wish to say I believe it is as a result of I used to be wanting up different dramas beginning Gu Jia Cheng, who has began to grow to be a favourite of mine as a result of romantic-comedy fantasy/historic dramas that he was in the previous couple of years. This was the opposite sequence that I used to be watching. The one bizarre factor about season 1 and a couple of is that each of them ended with a teaser for the subsequent season that by no means went anyplace. The next season by no means picked up the story line.
