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.
