Guo Yu Xin playing a scheming seductress and a justice seeker!
I am in the mood for Guo Yi Xin drama this week so today I picked this drama. I usually prefer modern to historical dramas but this one was engaging. It exceeded my expectations.What I liked:
1. Acting - This is the first time I watched Guo Yu Xin playing a vengeful woman and I loved it! She was able to switch personas according to the people surrounding her. Lei Yi Hao / Hu Yong Tao was great in his role as a two-faced emperor. The actress who played Gu Qing Yan did spectacular job too.
2. FL characterisation - I liked her determination to seek justice. Scheming & resourceful. She only gave bad attitude / behaviour to those who were bad first.
3. Supporting characters - I loved Gu Qing Yan & Eunuch Jinzhong. Such impactful presence. FL's servant Lan 'Er was good character too.
4. Revenge - Carefully planned and laid out. I was never bored.
5. Romance - Damn the seduction scene was spicy. The bath scene ehem ehem. FL knew how to wrap ML around her fingers subtly.
6. Styling - Beautiful outfits and I loved the different types of traditional costumes worn by people of different status.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Oh I disliked the empress and princess for framing Gu Qing Yan. They got punished, thank gawd. ML was antagonist too and wow, I almost pitied him.
2. Nails - This is my first time seeing Guo Yu Xin with fake nails and I hated it.
Favourite scene
The bath
