Aesthetically most pleasing historical drama
As my headline suggest I really haven't seen more aesthetically pleasing historical cdrama than this. From the set design to camera angles to the actors n overall vibes everything really was so soothing n pleasing to eyes. Kudos to this director for that👏👏 he even made me feel for the first time the good looks of ZLH, tbh i have seen him in other dramas n didn't get why people called him handsome, (his looks were jst average for me, i felt he was just very tall bt maybe his looks r not my type,lol) so in this drama he looked really good looking to even me. N that is also on this director to make everyone look heavenly beautiful.
Ok coming to the story, i have read the novel, i liked the story n as this drama stayed very close n true to the novel i really actually liked the drama too, although I felt the starting episodes in linan town got dragged a lot, i almost started to pray for that arc to end soon becos i didn't want to give up on such eye pleasing drama. N I really liked the later arc of changyus growth after leaving linan town unlike the popular reviews here where they didn't like them. Yeah it wasn't logical at all for a girl to have so much strength n superpowers on battlefield all of a sudden but then u don't watch these idol dramas for logic, do u really? I liked in the ending episode the director tried to make one scene like the "Titanic" ending scene😹 where all the dead r back n waving bye to the FL n at the end she meets the ML, but it wasn't that impactful as unlike in titanic not everyone was dead n specially not the main leads. But it was still nice way of giving everyone a respectful goodbye.
Acting wise Like everyone else I was really impressed with the two Sui brothers acting the most, they portrayed the evil mad so well that u love to hate them as well as feel a bit bad for them at their end too. That white wig suited deng kais face so well that he didn't look as impressive in black wig in the alternate ending, lol. I also loved that Alternate ending in the end. I liked that they made the puppet emperor more foolish n bit comedic unlike the novel where the emperor was also evilish. Chemistry wise i didn't feel much chemistry between main leads but more in YQQ n SYH/QiMin, like I get that why their pair got blown overnight to get 2nd Collab rumors n CP magazine photoshoot. Oh not to forget i really loved the child actress who played changning, she was so cute😚.
Overall a nice, eye pleasing n refreshing n satisfying experience this drama was. :)
