The best Drama there ever was!
Okay, where this drama stands out is the story progression. What this drama does so well, is it creates a perfect storm within this phenomenal story. I started watching this expecting it to be just another romance….but by episode 40 I was in complete awe and rendered speachless. my favorite part was the ultimate reveal when Uncle is in the cell telling Tutor Tao his whole truth. the way he explains that in full detail knowing that 17 years ago one drunken conversation resulted in everything that we saw happening was a whoa moment for me. Also the thing on repeat that’s woven into the story too is how the driving force to a lot of the tragedy here has a lot of love at the heart of it. secretly tho I was rooting for Qi Min and Yan to really mend things too. I know Qi Min was a monster but he truly did love Yan. I thought in the end when they were in the cell and he told her he just wanted them to live happily with her by his side and she explained how he could have had that but his pursuit of the empire is what caused this. When she cried I thought….she really did love him. he was just such a monster that she felt she had no choice and did everything for their son. Greatest watch!
