I will start off by mentioning the casting for this drama which was just plausible. Right from the first episode you can clearly see how Cheng Lei (Xiahou Dan) & Wang Chu Ran (Yu Wan Yin) bring out their best performances whenever they are together. They both portray their roles so naturally making it seem like it was the easiest thing to do. The way they both fit into their roles like hands in gloves is enticing enough to keep you engrossed in the drama! How they effortlessly play their parts passes the vibe check which skyrockets the potential of the show.

I guess we’ve all come across dramas where either the script is good but the acting is sketchy if the acting is good but the script is sketchy but How dare you!? really tops the list of transmigration stories. There’s enough comedy to give you a good laugh here and there while watching the show! Just the right amount of romance to keep you invested in the unfolding of the love story! Clever leads to save you from unnecessary misunderstandings! Supporting cast with stories worth paying attention you rather than those that may seem to be unnecessary feelers! Well, a fair amount of tear jerking moments to make you realise that you are watching a historical cdrama after all (sigh)🥲😭

One of the greatest highlights in this drama is the friendship! Despite ending up in a romantic relationship we cannot deny the wholesome friendship which kickstarted between the main leads. This side of the story was shown not in an overbearing manner but rather as a way to develop their character and gradually, their love for each other.
The friendship between the whole “secret officials club” was short lived but left a great impression especially for the greater good of the show! Bai & Bei were the sweetest icing on the cake 🥹❤️ Ohh my fragile heart couldn’t even handle the sisterhood moments, l will leave you to watch those.

I honestly did not have moments l felt were worth skipping or even watching at x2 speed. Each moment of the drama deserves its own attention. The downside of the drama is the main leads’ love story developing a bit later. Well considering how compatible they were l hoped they had expressed their love and feelings for each other earlier. However, it’s understandable considering how there was so much fish to fry with state affairs and dealing with the truth behind their transmigration. Secondly, I would have hoped to end the drama with some cast members alive but it is what it is😭 The second male lead pissed me off so many times! His mission the whole drama was just to get on our nerves but ohh well I will leave it at that. That being said, these issues aren’t ones to put you off watching this treasure because every moment of watching it is truly worth it!

I am so glad they gave us a happy ending because that was one of the reasons I was scared of approaching the end! 🥹❤️ If time and mindset permits, l hope you will watch this masterpiece!

Lastly, l would like to applaud the whole cast and crew for creating this gem!!
