Easy snack while waiting for your fave long drama to drop
Emperor or General is one of the few good surprises I got when I got “scammed” into getting the MgTV membership for Queen of Attack.
|STORY IS NOTHING NEW BUT AT LEAST NO FILLER SCENES|
One of the advantages of the mini drama setup is that writers are forced to create a decent story that works with the short run time and Emperor or General team knew what they were doing. They gave enough screen time for both the emperor, general, and Song Qingqing without bogging us with unnecessary court drama.
|DECENT CHARACTERS W/ NO OVERTLY ANNOYING VILLAIN|
We get the basic characters with the required “villain”. But the eunuch and the princess are mostly shown as being pesky side characters with no real venom. The princess actually turns into Qingqing’s friend later on.
|CHILL PROBLEMS AND OK CHEMISTRY|
Personally, Neither the emperor nor the general looks good in the idol way. But they do have chemistry with the female lead. I think the FL lead has potential playing the ray of sunshine FL since her smile looks really genuine. She also had that cute bantering chemistry with the stoic general.
Conclusion:
With 7mins per episode and 20 episodes in total, I do suggest watching this drama if you already have the MgTV membership. Specially if you are waiting for the next episodes of your favorite drama to drop. In my case, while waiting for the Eternal Love S3.
