A Jovem Esposa do General (2020)

This is amazing overall. It is just so cute!!! But, what bumps it to a 10 for me are the gestures of affections. They are abundant and done with such ease - both platonic and non-platonic gestures of affection. I have actually never watched a drama with as many kisses, but despite that, it doesn't come off as hypersexual. It comes off as melt-my-heart-romantic. And they did - they totally melted my heart.

The female lead is adorable, and the male lead is so sweet. Sometimes you watch a drama or read a book for this one character, because you want a partner like that, but there are some fictional couples that have so strong a bonding that while you do want a partner like that, you can not imagine either of the pair being with anyone else. (I'm thinking of dramas like Doom at Your Service, Come and Hug Me, & The Untamed. Literally can't imagine the main pairs being with anyone else in any lifetime.) They are literal soulmates. In this drama, the female lead and the male lead are literal soulmates. They balance each other out, and their relationship is one of equals. It might not have worked out this well if the lead actors weren't as good at acting as they are. I am so, so happy that I found this treasure of a drama!!!

Good story with no plot

The story at the beginning was nice, I enjoyed both leads very much but this drama has absolutely no plot. Atleast at the first episodes its does since the romance is blooming but the rest are just tiny stories of their life's. I enjoyed it, it was sweet and nice but around the end I just found it boring more and more. I think this is the kind of drama you want to watch after watching a messy or sad ending drama cause it does give you all kind of romance every episode. I did enjoy that problems between leads wasn't dragged as much but just short time. It's the first wuxia drama I watch were there is no direct plot but rather short stories and it wasn't bad but surely not my favorite. I do enjoy the female lead the most since she's smart and strong all through out the drama. The male lead is with no doubt gorgeous so the couple chemistry for me is a 10. I wish this drama had a better plot something to wait for in the last episodes but in the end its just like a slice of life kind of drama.

Light and Fluffy with an annoying FL

I enjoyed this drama because it was light and fluffy. Nothing too heavy or too serious which is perfect for a weekend in quarantine.

But I wanted to strangle the FL so many times. She was the most annoying character in the drama and it’s entirety. She always thought she knew better and never trusted her husband when told to just let him handle things and not to worry and always end up causing troubles. The ML had his annoying moments too. He always kept things from her and wasn’t always honest in the name of protecting her 🙄

I enjoyed the fluff and the story. Would I rewatch it? For the sake of my sanity, patience and to save myself from losing my eyeballs from falling out from being rolled from beginning to end…..HELL NO!

This is my very 1st C-drama and I'm hooked to it since.....

After lots of drama searching and read tons of reviews, I decided this would be my very first CDrama to watch. I simply couldn't stop watching. So it took me just one week to complete the entire 30 episodes. The story line is great. Sometime has little suspense, many time it made me laugh and lots of, lots of romance between 2 main roles, Caesar Wu and Tang Min. They have such a great chemistry. I think that made this drama so good. I love the bright and funny persona of Tan Min's role and cold first but handsome, warm and caring persona of Caesar Wu's role. I wish they're the real couple in their real life. I also love the OST. They both sung the songs together. More talents! Oh, I also love their costumes. Beautifully designed. I also watched 'Chang'an Youth' by Caesar Wu. He also plays such a great main role. I think I am in love with his roles. He is so different in real life (chatty) but he plays his role accordingly and he is super great in acting. And Tang Min is super cute and she is also a great actress. There is one more Historical drama he is now making this year 2021. I cannot wait to watch it.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAS A RATING BELOW 8

General's Lady was such a good drama. I can't believe the ratings dipped.
Let's talk about our leads first.

Shen Jin played by Tang Min was a pretty great character. I must admit though, I loved her more at the start when she wasn't as whiny. She's not at all a selfish character. She got married to the General to save her mother and her family's reputation, she was a great care-taker and friend to her maid, Cutie Pie as well as SuSu and she did everything she can to win over the General's heart. She single-handedly took down the Demon General and made him fall in love with her. Jin'er was a strong character at the start, and she was smart. There's also something comical about her at times which took me OUT.

Chu Xu Ming played by Caesar Wu is a feminist icon and you can't change my mind. Maybe I'm exaggerating it a bit but he is one of the most understanding, caring, and loyal husbands I've seen in historical Chinese dramas. His respect for Jin'er was impeccable. At the start, he was extremely cold and detached, but he was NEVER cruel. In most of these dramas, Generals and Emperors are cold and cruel but Chu Xu Ming was a sweetheart once you got to know him. He was so flirty, playful, and nice. It was a pleasure to see him come out of his shell and start loving Shen Jin. Y'all better appreciate this man. He had the cutest smile ever too. Together, she and the General made a dream pair.

The side characters were also very lovable and we didn't hate anyone except the evil half-sisters. Also, there are some quality kisses in this drama and it's abundant. The couple is very affectionate and intimate and there were no open-eyed-fish-kisses. Some of the lines were corny but get over it. I just skipped them cus it was kind of cringy.

The plotline is weaker than I would like to admit. It started off very strong but then there were obstacles that were placed due to the initial mystery plotline to do with the Emperor which dragged the last two to three episodes for me. There were plenty of misunderstandings but they sort it out like mature adults (mostly the General tho, Jin'er was a tad bit childish in some places but there was a reason she acted the way she did so she is excused).

Overall good drama. Give it a go. Please.

Good Filler Drama

I watched this drama only because of CJX and because I heard it was an easy comedy with lots of romance. Also because I needed a filler in between anticipated releases. The positive aspect is that it definitely had the comedy and romance people spoke of. I understand in 30 episodes there's only so much a drama can do. I do wish it hadn't taken on so many plots. One or two and keep it simple. The annoying part was the constant whining of FL and hindering ML in practically everything. Though she's a strong lead, the way she acts many a time and the misunderstandings she causes, feels like it's emasculating to the ML. Both are strong characters but though the ML treats the FL or tries to as an equal partner once they get their feelings out, her actions always seem to hinder a situation. The only thing I would rewatch are their cute romantic moments if I was truly bored. Both lead actors have a long way to go as major leads especially when expressing emotions other then anger and happiness; and I would definitely recommend CW to get rid of the snaggle tooth; it's very distracting. Not saying everyone must have perfect symmetrical teeth but if you're going to play lead where you'll need to smile, that could be a bit problematic. Everything was very rushed, especially the plots, at times even the audience didn't know what was going on. I did like the martial arts aspect of it and that CJX got a chance to showcase more fighting skills. Over all, I wish the entire cast luck in their future endeavors.

I just finished the last episode. This series is aesthetically pleasing to the eye in terms of good looking actors, scenery and costume, but the acting was so-so and the script silly and unoriginal. Our ML just really needs more acting classes. I had seen him in Meteor Garden, another stinker, and didn't think much of his work as his part was so small. Here he is given the entire drama to carry, but it just wasn't as good as it could have been due to the sloppy writing, and depthless characters. The FL was much more fun to watch. She was very cute and playful, and seemed more at ease in her part. Whereas our ML takes himself much too seriously, our FL is his perfect foil. She makes utter fun of him.

It started well enough. I was invested and my heart truly ached for them when their foolishness caused each other pain. But as the story went along, it seemed to lose its direction and trotted to a quickly wrapped up ending. I got the feeling the script writers had no idea how to finish this story so it meandered to a less than stellar end. The last scene set in the present made no sense whatsoever. It should have been cut.

This is one I would not watch again. If I had to choose between this and Maiden Holmes, MH would win out. I found the actors more talented and the story better written.

Funny, entertaining, and romantic: the complete package.

This Chinese drama brings a twist of arranged marriage that seems destined to go wrong, but in the end, the protagonist falls head over heels for the crazy and mischievous leading lady.

Regarding the political intrigue and mysterious plot, it's a gripping tale that keeps you curious about what truly happened in the past, so I really enjoyed it.

In terms of romance, my friends, the drama is perfect – there are love declarations that scream how much the protagonist adores his wife, the kisses are perfect, and their companionship is the icing on the cake.

Overall, I highly recommend this drama, but I must warn you that the only thing that disappointed me was the rushed ending, which, by the way, seems to be a trend in most of the dramas I've been watching. #disappointed

That's it, folks! Watch it!

NOT A TYPICAL HISTORICAL DRAMA

If you are into some serious historical drama then this is not the drama for you. This drama contains lots of fluff and skinship romance for all people who loves romance. Instead of finding the Female lead annoying I find her adorable and funny which gives this drama its comedy side. The FL is not a childish girl who can't do anything without her partner. She is a strong girl who wants to protect her loved ones. The ML is a flawless character which will make most of female watchers fall for him. The casting is very suitable for each character.

TBH I'm not the type of person who loves historical drama as it usually bores me with the draggy plot and much historical backgrounds. I usually prefer modern dramas instead of the historical ones. Though this drama has lots of misunderstandings, it is not draggy and every problem was solved in a short amount of time. I finished this drama in 2 days.

Ps. The second and third couple gives extra point to this drama... Each couple is so cute
