Royal Betrothal Episode 1

Intriguing start, rough production

A female minister lead with Wu Jin Yan in the main role seems like a dream come true, no less because the female lead in the book seems quite serious and reserved.

While the introduction to these characters is intriguing enough, the directing and production seem quite rough and unfinished. The fight scene cuts jump strangely and a character will stand differently after every cut even though it's supposed to show the same moment, simply with the perspective changed. I hope this becomes less of an issue simply due to the story focusing on the court rather than the battlefield. The actors are clearly trying but if somebody told me each character were from another drama, I would believe them. I hope the editing gets progressively better.
