It’s not as slapstick as the trailers lead you to believe
I think this piece showcases yet another aspect of Wang’s acting ability. This show is funny, but it’s not stupid. It’s full of triumph, awe, brotherhood, excitement, adventure and leaves wanting more. I have watched several 50 ep period pieces from China. Although I do love them they tend to drag my heart all over the side of the road. Not this show! It’s fun! It’s easy on the nervous system. Don’t expect this to be what it’s not and you’ll enjoy it.Was this review helpful to you?
Constant mesmerizing chemistry
The Forbidden Flower is now in my top tier all time favorite, rewatch on repeat list. Simply a euphoric journey of courtship, chemistry, love, friendship, personal development and more. The soundtrack is like a magic carpet ride that takes you THERE in every scene. This show evoked so much dopamine I’m going to be at a loss to watch anything after this. The spring, winter romance is displayed in a way that just makes sense for the characters. I didn’t even question it as a viewer and neither did the support cast.
