just finished the first 4 episodes and it’s so good to have WU Jin Yan back! I really like the story and I love how smart the leads are. I look forward to all the political intrigue. I also love the fl’s bestie. Loved her in Glory too, it was a pleasant surprise seeing her
this drama had its ups and downs but I enjoyed it for the most part. that last arc in the last 5 or so episodes was an odd choice. why bring completely new characters that late into the show?
despite that, I truly enjoyed the leads. Shan Bao was one of the most satisfying fl I have watched. She had such a commanding presence that you couldn’t help but just pay attention to her. Bextiyar did great, I’ve only watched her in 2 other dramas and she always has such an elegant presence. I love that the matriarch prevailed and it was refreshing to see a man give up his status for a woman he loves. Hou Ming Hao killed it as Prefect Lu. He was so charming in this role, I liked that we got to see different sides of him.
The Rong sisters were excellent rage bait in the beginning I’m not gonna lie. Grandma too. Almost dropped the damn show but I ended up loving them in the end. Not grandma though, I still got beef with her lol. but I guess it’s really hard to change when you’re that advanced in age.
Overall, it was a really good drama but I felt like the final arc was not needed. I didn’t care for the new characters.
they had 2 dollars and a dream! all caught up on the 7 episodes and I don’t know if I can keep going. argh what a shame, I’ll try again tomorrow ðŸ«
Am I the only one who hates flashbacks in dramas? I am hoping this drama will set the bar for republican era dramas which I have struggled to enjoy in the past. I think Arsenal Military Academy is the only one that I really enjoyed. feel free to plug any other good ones😉 For me it’s just ok but it’s early days, lemme be patient. I will continue watching cause I love Wang Churan but the best dramas are the ones that can make your stay for the plot. let’s see
