The Drama you will want to have 40 eps!
Story Wise: It's too short for me that I wanted more, I wanted to have this an extension, and expansion of character's POVs and dialogues, more casts, more sense of depth in the case and to the face swapping of the 3 characters, like IT IS MINDBLOWING that I want it to have more than just 18 eps😭😔💜Cast Wise: I can't believe CL here, the versatility he really has since he started is really consistent, the quality of his acting here is the quality of his acting in his latest projects with that consistency, you'll really feel he love his job and knows how to ACT. Same with Ying Ke, watched her several projects made me realize she really can do the charcter she portrays very well!!!! Both of them have an aura that can bear the role of Pro and Antagonistic Characters, they really delivered this pairing😭🎀💅

A Very Hooking Republican Era CDrama!
Speaking of an own, not as a person whose been a deep and old cdrama fan or a critique, I have watched MANY shows as well, but this? I love this show. How come I am getting entertained with people discussing the situations and incidents happen and argue about it comparing life from 1920s to today's culture, traditions, and norms? It did not just made me hooked in the drama itself, it made me cling to the story in which they have showcased characteristics of each characters actors portrayed well. There are A LOT of realizations upon finishing this drama, I'm not just talking about facing romantic relationships huh? I am also talking about how this era or transition from monarchy to democracy changed the people's lives or way of living, how pain snd hardships impacted people's view in life and how status and power influences authority and credibility. I just love people discussing everything, I haven't read the novel in which I heard much be more harder I think than this show adaptation but I believe every production, team, and casts made justice to their roles they have portrayed. Kudos and I hope CL and XRH will have 2nd collaboration with a much more deserving ending, I wouldn't argue on open endings as common sense, it is a republican era timeframe where every show shows great opportunities to end but writers chose to hasn't (and that's where the painful acceptance comes in tho lmao) and I hope they get a happy ending next time, perhaps on another dimension of a trope or a dynamics they may play again in some historical or modern romance? I'm looking forward into it though!Was this review helpful to you?
