Short & crisp vertical drama with great acting!
I was intrigued by He Cong Rui as I had seen his name attached to some dramas with some of my favourite vertical drama actress. Decided to watch Huang Jin Tai as my first He Cong Rui drama and my first no-romance drama. I was impressed!What I liked:
1. Acting - He Cong Rui & Zhou Heng Yu were mesmerising on screen. Both shiwed good micro expressions.
Praises should also be given to the actor who portrayed pre-betrayal Chu Qin as he managed to showcase Chu Qin as a general and as a brother / friend to Fourth Prince Yan Li.
2. Writing - Well executed story of brotherhood & betrayal. Even antagonists were written well.
3. Supporting characters - I like Wu Ming's right hand man, Chu Qin's female soldier.
4. Directing - At 1 hour 46 min, this drama is short and crisp. Director & screenwriter were able to showcase different arcs without being too draggy.
What I disliked:
1. Ending - I actually liked the cliffhanger. I just disliked not knowing if there is season 2 or not. If there is, season 2 better be good!
Favourite scene:
When Yan Li confirmed his suspicion of Wu Ming's identity

Remind me of The Untamed
Wowww... I accidentally found this via youtube. And wooowww, this drama very good, the music remind me of The Untamed. Very emotional. The CGI high quality. Great acting from both main lead. The wheelchair guy ,his acting, body language, facial expression, the way he talk top notch. But this drama too short. Please remake it to be longer drama so that we can see the story to develop And i bet this will be phenomenal. Until now i cannot trace the official web/app that released this short drama. Highly recommended.Was this review helpful to you?
