Familiar plot (transmigration, jealousy, misunderstanding) & lack of chemistry - nothing special
I watched this drama because I am preparing a reddit post on Han Jia Hui dramas. This is on eof two collaborations between Han Jia Hui & Yao Guan Yu and I was curious to see their dynamic and actint in historical dramas so I chose this drama. Overall I thought it was average quality wise.What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - Another doctor FL transmigrated from modern time so she used her medical knowledge in historical time. She knew part of her original host's memories so she tried her best to get divorce from ML. The green tea behaviour was amusing!
2. ML characterisation - With the ability to hear FL's inner monologue, he learnt to understand FL's actions better. I liked that he apologised to FL after knowing that he had misunderstood FL.
3. Battle of wits - Persian visitors came for a visit and the battle of wits between FL and them was fun to watch.
4. Romance - Slow burn. They had a talk after ML found out FL was the person who saved him 10 years ago. It was honest and I liked it.
5. Food - I also enjoyed food-related scenes - FL brought her knowledge of modern food.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Typical jealous female antagonist in the form of sister wife. She used all her means to bring down FL. The emperor's queen another character I disliked.
2. Acting - There was no chemistry between HJH & YGY. Therefore their romantic scenes lacked warmth.
Favourite scene
The talk FL & ML had after ML knew that FL saved him
