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.

Incredibly slow and boring drama

Both Leads were lovely to look at bur totally dysfunctional. The female lead's father was awful. All of the characters were a bit moronic. The old friend who followed the female lead was cringe worthy. Whoever wrote the script must have been a high school student. It was so slow. There were great pauses while nothing actually happened. What a waste of effort and money. The male lead was lovely and had some charm but he was also a bit naive and a bit simple. The Butch Female lead character was attractive but had no real charm. Overall I watched it in some disbelief . What a shame. They need better scripts to show off their skills as actors. Sorry to be so negative. But this was dismal.
