Delightful historical drama with inner thought trope. Loved the acting!
Someone on a subreddit recommended this title so I watched as I wanted to explore more inner thoughts trope. What a delight! I enjoyed it immensely.What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - Damn, she was unintentionally funny! I loved her for working towards a goal and wasn't easily infatuated by a handsome man (her husband).
2. Comedy - OMG I LOL-ed many times.
3. Acting - Shi Xiao Ye was spectacular in this role. She managed to add charm to her character. I also liked Zhan Xuan's acting.
4. Supporting characters - ML's family was likeable and entertaining.
5. Inner monologue trope - I don't know why only ML's family (including the father) could hear her thoughts but this provided opportunity for comedic moments.
6. Styling - I loved the outfits especially the mint green hanfu worn by FL. Zhan Xuan looked great in the army general's outfit.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - I disliked Yun Xi for her betrayal. She was power-hungry.
2. Romance - I would have liked more affectionate scenes between FL and ML.
Favourite scene
The first time second brother heard FL's inner thoughts
