I went to watch this show with absolutely no expectations as the reviews weren't that great but OH MY GOD!! I have no words, this drama was so good. First scene of FL and I was hooked. We see a strong ML all the time but seeing such physically strong FL felt like a breath of fresh air. It was very fascinating to see the leads fighting together, gave me adrenaline rush everytime they would beat an army of people singlehandedly.
Many didn't like this show because of too much palace politics but imo it was quite great. Feng Lanxi was always ahead of them, it showed the power of Fountain abode. Umm another great thing about the drama was that FL wasn't some helpless lady for whom ML would always need to worry about. Bai Fengxi was hands down my favourite character, so lively and carefree with best kind of martial skills.
Some of my favourite scenes of this drama were -the first interaction of Hei and Bai, then another where both of them are playing Cuju and Langhua said that they are flirting with each other. It was cute. Then the war scene where Lanxi said that they hurt my women and went on to attack Huang and Yu. Another one was when Feng Ju's army attacked Lanxi in court room and it literally took him just 2 seconds to defeat them. The face of both mother and son was laugh worthy.
There were some drawbacks too ofcourse. I think there were too many instances where the drama could have been more dramatic, like when Xiyun's identity was revealed or two of them being in love and stuff. And oh such shortage of romantic scene, like you are watching two of the most good looking people and there is hardly any romance, please this actually sounds like a betrayal. Also I was actually a little hoping to see how Huang Chao and Hua Chunran's life is after marriage.
Who Rules The World is really a unique drama. It shows well how not to underestimate someone. Both the ML and FL are strong and the compliment each other. Even though there are less romantic scenes they are neither greasy nor cheesy. Even the palace politics are clearly shown and are not overly complicated. In short it is worth watching. All in all, I personally loved this show. It kept me on edge of my seat specially in the first 20 episodes. Rare show where I didn't skip any scene. If you like a FL who is as strong as the ML, relationship with no misunderstandings, too much plotting and planning from all sides then this is the show for you.
