She Possesses Mountains, Rivers, and Moon (2025)

A Good Drama Despite Weak Points

I decided to watch this drama because of the ML played by Wang Jia Mao whom I find very handsome in royal roles and robes. I first saw him in Throne of Regret wherein he played the role of the King who made the other woman the Empress rather than the former female general who served him with great loyalty and sacrifice. The FL in that drama decided to leave the unfaithful Emperor. Despite being the scumbag in that drama I found him very handsome and been longing to see him playing royalty again but in good character. I got my wish here.
In this drama, the ML is faithful to the FL. He is secretly in loved with her and always protecting her. He was a loving husband as well as a faithful Prince Regent to the young Emperor. I got my wish to see him once again in good role as Prince and faithful husband. He is also presented as a very wise and competent Regent.
The FL was somewhat weak and easy to be manipulated but she learned from her mistakes and gradually grew in wisdom, knowledge and competence. Her privilege of being appointed in the royal court as the first female official is deserving.
I also like the choice of the director to use as a major villain the girl-servant of the FL. Usually, the villain woman is the stepsister of the FL or an illegitimate sister. Instead, the maid servant was elevated as a mistress or concubine of the 2ML.
The presentation of the 2ML, the first husband who serves as the main villain is quite inappropriate for me. He was the top scholar of the young generation. He must be very bright and even a possible candidate to be Prime Minister but instead of showing character of a very intelligent young man he was always acting, speaking and making decisions like a stupid or unreasonable man. The director I think failed to guide the actor who played this role to portray his character properly as demanded by the story.
