Drama Overview & (No Review)



Directed by Zhou Jing Tao (A Journey to Love) and Qi Xiao Hui (Really Meet Love That Day). Screen play is adapted by Wang Hong, who has many, many dramas (more misses than hits?) including: Legend of FeiRattanSword and Fairy (6)Royal RumoursBrocade Odyssey, Legend of Zhuohua, Snowfall, Les Belles, etc.

The original novel of the same title is written by Mo Shu Bai. Originally, it's a rebirth FL. Her other adaptations include Destined and The Princess Royal.

This is only like the 34897234th female general drama of the year. Ok fine, maybe just the 4th, but it feels like a lot!

Wrapped on July 12, 2024.

Ending Cliff Notes. We end on a happy, patriotic cliff scene. [Skip »]
Even their horses are together.
Clifford is deadly for non-main-leads. Grand Princess and Xue Han Mei die – on/off a cliff. But they also took poison, so maybe it wasn't Clifford. All other couples are together and alive.
