This Drama Broke Me (In The Best Way Possible)
I need to scream about this drama because NOBODY TOLD ME I'D BE THIS EMOTIONALLY INVESTED?! 40 episodes? More like 40 episodes of pure serotonin that ended TOO SOON. I would literally trade my firstborn for 100 more episodes (kidding... maybe).
Let's talk about Yin Zheng (6th Young Master) and Li Wei—hands down the healthiest, most heartwarming couple in historical drama history:
1. Yin Zheng - the man who ruined all other male leads for me. This green flag king waited patiently like a saint for Li Wei, respected her independence like a true feminist ally, had the emotional intelligence of a modern therapist, and looked fine as hell doing it all.
2. Li Wei - The revolutionary queen! This woman said NO to patriarchy centuries before it was cool, built businesses while looking flawless, taught an entire dynasty about women's rights, and still had time to fall in love (priorities!)
Together, they’re power couple goals, both fighting to reform outdated traditions, especially those that oppressed women. Shoutout to Bai Jingting and Tian Xiwei for bringing Yin Zheng and Li Wei to life. Their chemistry was so natural, that i low-key wondered if they were actually in love (〃∀〃).
Oh i want to highlight this too: The women in this drama support each other instead of tearing one another down, so no petty harem fights. The Great Master (the ruler) isn’t your typical cold, tyrannical emperor, he’s a father with a heavy burden, flawed yet open to change. and in this drama, conflicts get resolved quickly without unnecessary drama—just pure, satisfying storytelling.
Production-wise—the costumes, sets, cinematography, sound, comes together in perfect harmony. It's clear the team poured their hearts into every frame, creating a world so believable you'll forget you're watching fiction.
I'm not exaggerating when i say this drama changed my standards forever. It's smart, heartwarming, progressive, and just so damn good. If you haven't watched it yet, what are you doing with your life?
Final Rating: ∞/10 (yes, I'm giving it infinity points)
Watch if you love: healthy relationships, strong female leads, historical settings with modern values, actual character development, and shows that make you feel severe withdrawal symptoms after finishing ಥ‿ಥ
Now excuse me while i go stare longingly at my screenshots and pretend I live in this beautiful universe🏮✨
