MISS TRUTH

GENRES: Historical, Mystery, Romance

SUMMARY: All she wants to do is be a kick-ass coroner but these hunks show up and cause a ruckus.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Mystical pearls, sleeping smoke, cotton swabs, jewelry appraisal, scheming step moms, home burials, obsessed calligraphers, spies, prison breaks, butterflies, wine, shadow puppets, dissection, falcons, revenge, poison, finger torture, and ozmanthus cakes.

HOT TAKE: Where do I even start with this show. I thought the forensic attention and detective work was great--there were SO MANY mysteries to solve and they all came together at the end in a neat little bow.

Besides this being a mystery, it also tried to be a love triangle romance. TRIED. All this lady wants to do is be the amazing coroner she is and investigate all the corpses she can get her hands on. She's great at what she does!

This poor woman is forced to choose between a love interest that literally sweeps her off her feet but is cold, emotionless, and uses her to find a pearl for an underground spy organization, and another who, under ideal circumstances should be her intellectual equal to volley sarcasm-style flirting, but is distant, unable to communicate his true feelings for her, and most of the time both verbally and physically abusive.

The romance plot of this show ended up being less of a will they/won't they, and more of a why did they/could they not.

I LOLed at the end because as the plots converge, it turned into a scene from a mythical National Treasure complete with glowing stones, denied poison antidotes, bamboo explosives trapped to a man's chest, a 5-sword standoff, and a hidden identity out of left field.

I heard there's a Season 2 in the works and I am 100% on board.

Arsenal Military Academy

Year : 2019 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 48

My rate: 9/10

Synopsis :

In the early years of the 20th century, Chinese military forces find themselves locked in a drawn-out, bloody conflict as they fight back again the Imperial Japanese army.

The government drafts young male conscripts to defend the besieged northeast of the country – but a woman named Xie Xiang also wants in on the action. She decides to cut her hair short and assume her brother’s identity in a bid to join the Chinese army. Xie Xiang quickly proves herself more than capable in soldiery, and soon wins herself a place in an elite military academy in Shanghai.

At the academy, she befriends a number of young male recruits, including quarrelsome rich kid Gu Yan Zheng and the gentle and introverted Shen Jun San. As the recruits begin to hone their skills, they grow in confidence – and decide to take measures of their own in an attempt to foil the invading forces.

But their struggle becomes more complicated when both Gu Yan Zheng and Shen Jun San begin to develop feelings for Xie Xiang. Will the comrades-in-arms survive the bitter ravages of military conflict? Will love derail Xie Xiang’s quest for justice? And will all really prove fair in love and war?

Main cast :

Bai Lu as Xie Xiang / Xie Liang Chen

Xu Kai as Gu Yan Zhen

Toby Lee as Shen Jun Shan

Wu Jia Yi as Qu Man Ting

My thoughts on this drama :

This is one of these dramas that make expectations for future ones extremely high…Because it is extremely good. Who cares about actual romance, gimme some heartfelt bromance instead! Almost everything was on point. I say almost because they had to use some overused tropes... Like political corruption... But considering the story, it was logical, just annoying. Bai Lu and Xu Kai once more showed their absolutely adorable chemistry. And damn! Xu Kai is so expressive, how does one even do that with one's face muscles?? His face is an open book, absolutely incredible. The story is superbly written, and if you manage not to be bothered by the very obvious Chinese propaganda and anti-Japanese discourses, you'll really enjoy the 48 episodes. For once, I did not think it was too much. A story that is that level of complex needs many episodes to untangle all plot lines. Considering that the actors are all pretty young (between 25 and 30 years old), I must say they all played their part perfectly. It is impossible not to get attached, even to the ever so annoying and clingy Manting (with the exception of Miss Zhitian maybe). If you are looking for intense romance though, well, try elsewhere. There are some background romances, but it's pretty lowkey, and the interactions are toned down. The few displayed scenes were beautiful though, very touching. The sets, the costumes, and the way it was filmed, with that slightly yellowish filter, it gave this drama a breathtaking authenticity. It was like jumping right in the past, and seeing the events unfold, one by one. There was joy, pain, laughter, tears, smiles, anger...It's an emotionally packed drama, and I loved every second of it. Now to find something at least as good... If you're hesitating because of the 'girl disguising as a boy' trope, then don't, really. Bai Lu actually pulls it off. She managed to give that tomboyish vibe and made her character very believable. Ouch, my hands are still sore from clapping too hard at the end of the final episode... I highly recommend this drama, really.

A Favorite ?

[tomboy420]

I wanna see Fanfics about a female reader who’s a tomboy, isn’t scared of horror movies, I see that a lot for some reason, favorite music genre is rock, literally the most chill, BASICALLY THE WHOLE NINE OF ALL THAT… I never see any of that.

I’ve seen, like, TWO fanfics of technically tomboy readers, but even so, it was never really mentioned, and they didn’t really get into it. Plus considering the amount of Fanfics I read, two is literally next to nothing, and both are William Afton series… one of them not being updated for 11 months

My favourite Alison moments are those where she has no excuse as to why she's acting strangely, no ghosts are talking over her, she's just casually using cockney rhyming slang to talk to a builder.
