#Oh My General

Your honour, she's Bi

Whether for the joy of it or the fact that there can be only one, these characters would not stop to think before attacking.

Write-ins, propaganda, and images are welcome!

When I started watching The Double, I was trying to pinpoint why it felt so familiar, both visually (utterly gorgeous) and the insane OTP chemistry and dynamic between them, well, it turns out it's helmed by the director of Go Princess Go and Oh My General, who brought his trusty fan wind machine and petals along the ride. Sure, he has a bigger budget now and is limited by more censorship restrictions but it's still his signature style.

Seriously, so many scenes feel like homage shots to Go Princess Go that I've started to rewatch it like Pavlov's dog.

The trusty fan machine never fails.

The extra and gorgeous male lead (with a fan) with a penchant for dramatic poses.

Romance among flower petals.

Tragic death among flower petals.

Heroine taking the lead in a dance with the male lead.

Female lead openly thirsting after the hero.

Me: The cultural emphasis on romance as the most important form of interpersonal relationship is damaging and false

Me the moment I start watching a TV show: They’re dating. And also those two are dating. And those three. And this one is dating both those two and they’re fine about it. In fact everyone in the whole show is part of a polycule

Oh My General irritates me because Ye Zhao is the most beautiful perfect bisexual butch wife and nobody appreciates her nearly enough

[mspajamas]

Oh My General has me fuckin' HOOKED

[iforgothepasswordtomyoldaccount]

I am incredibly normal about stories where women disguise themselves as men to do something that women have been forbidden to do

my obsession with them says nothing personally about me as a person in any way once so ever

[beenovel]

Watching Oh My General because of a post I saw (can’t find it 😭) and OH MY GOD THE MC IS SO UNBELIEVABLE AUTISTIC

[10thmusemoon]

My favorite part of oh my general is that every beautiful woman falls in love with Ye Zhao, sending her husband(s) scrambling. It wouldn’t take much for Zhao Yujin to convince Hu Qing that crossdressing is the only option.

All 60 episodes are subbed on Youtube I am begging you all to watch this

[realityisdulllonglivefiction]

Not a poem, but the ost is made out of the Mahayana Buddhist Sutra Da Bei Zhou/Great Compassion Mantra/Nilakantha Dharani.

This was one of the first songs I have listened on YouTube, even before I started watching Cdramas etc. It has always brought me great sense of calm and peace. Only recently, more than like 5 years later I finally found out where it is from.

Da Bei Zhou (大悲咒) by Jing Shan Yuan (敬善媛)

Good morning to everyone who has watched oh my general and a very I recommend this show to everyone who hasn't <3

*and one that @nemainofthewater supplied

[redpearlearring]

Watching Oh My General and I recognized some wordplay I'd seen in Fourteenth Year of Chenghua. In FYC Tang Fan corrects Sui Zhou being called an outsider (外人 wàirén, lit: outside person) by calling him a word that commonly means wife (内人 nèirén, lit: inside person) and Sui Zhou complains until Tang Fan calls him husband instead.

In Oh My General Yujin is upset that Ye Zhao has her military advisor Huli write her divorce paper, because Yujin thinks of him as an outsider (wàirén). When Ye Zhao says Huli isn't a wàirén, Yujin sarcastically asks if then she thinks of Huli as her nèirén instead. It's a really clever line that expresses both Yujin's jealousy that leads him to see Huli as a rival, and his insecurity that Ye Zhao would see her spouse (it's Yujin, Yujin is actually her spouse!) as a wife rather than a husband.

Also it's funny that Yujin is getting jealous when Huli is only writing the divorce document because Yujin wants to get divorced.
