Knight of the Rose (2022)

Badass but adorable AF

I just wanted to mention both the two main women characters were drop dead adorable! Each of them were attractive in a different way, FL was tiny but feisty and I loved her short hair. The second female lead is almost otherworldly in her beauty and pulls off a very feminine look that just works for her so well!

This isn't going to win any major awards, it's pretty much a fluff filler drama. The acting was slightly above average but you could tell there was still room for improvement especially in a few scenes where it was supposed to be dramatic and it just felt a little stiff and forced.
The kisses on the part of the FL felt like she had no experience, the ML was slightly better but they both definitely need real world experiences to draw on and it pretty obvious they don't have much of that. :/

Now about the general story, this is set up as a very badass female lead and for the most part she pulled it off well, though there were a few separate situations where she was made weak by the writers so that she could be "saved" by ML but for the most part HE was the weak one and she saved him and everyone else from start to finish. I loved how she had a great personal code of responsibility for the greater good and she was the same while in the army as well as when she was just a civilian.

Ling Ting (SML) is set up as a character to be love interest triangle potential for FL but don't worry that never really materializes and the majority of the drama is focused on the main couple's interactions and their slowly warming up relationship.
Fair warning in this 23 episode drama it takes 12 episodes for the main couple to be official and that's all I'm going to say without spoiling anything.

A Comedy/Romantic/Drama storyline.

The last two days I have been watching the storyline. I am enjoying watching it, but it drags in spots. Hong Xing Xing and Sun Mei Xi are portraying positive role models for women. No-one s jerking them around or getting in their faces. The main plot is kind of weak, but the subplots are better. So far I watched 3 episodes that could of been just one episode. There are some really funny parts and some are ok.

Wei Lan(ML) is a immature, CEO, spoiled brat that doesn't get along with his father. For once, the male is a mumbling idiot. Hong Xing Xing (FL) is a a positive , strong willed family orientated former military person. Why the producers made them as a relationship couple, makes me scratch my head. There isn't any chemistry between them. If anyone would look at them they would say NO WAY! They look like the odd couple. When they look into each others eyes, it appears Hong Xing Xing to be saying really, I am hooked up with him. Sun Mei Xiand great chemistry with Ling Ting. The subplots where great and in some scenes better than the main plot.

The ending was kind of messed up. Overall the storyline was good and the acting was so so. watching it once was good enough, but if I had nothing else to do, I would watch it again to see what I missed.
