My most anticipated drama that felt so numb watching it

Not everything is bad. But not good too.

Where the mask ends. I was so excited for this drama from long ago. I love Tian Xiwei and Yan An. Xiwei's versality in Moonlight Reunion... I was so sure that she was gonna rock acting like a protagonist and antogonist. Yan An character in Veil of shadows... gsh he did so well there.

Tian Xiwei did good here too. Acting wise she was great. Wei Rao is intelligent and great and all. She is a great manipulator of all. But I don't get why was she so keen on keeping distance with ML. And there is ML. We love a ML being devoted to his wife but there is a limit. He was always throwing himself at her. Okay I know she needed that. But I am Not okay that he put his entire family clan in danger by almost offending the Emperor.

Yan An acting actually felt so wooden. He basically has 2 expressions- smile or angry. No Other Expression. Its okay. I didn't expect much from a general. Even his friend character was felt weak. But character wise what actually felt most funny was -- its like he is the emperor's fav child. He never punishes him. Honestly that emperor was dumb that he never pusnishes anybody. He was deceived by everybody. Like EVERYONE

I mean how in the bloody hell was Han family is still there. That too with so much power that Han Liao helped in rebellion. I thought Han Liao died somewhere in the middle. Bro what a character. He is not a villain. He is a dumb person. A punching bag. The one ques that keeps bugging me from the start was WHY WAS HE EVIL. Like theey wanted a guy with corruption, un-die-able, lustful over FL at the same time wants to kill her. Bro choose a side.

Another WTH moment was why wasn't Lu family filed case against Wei family for deceiving. TBH why no one is filing case. Also the ending . There was abs no reason that even her brother to die and foster sister to be pregnant. That ending walk was good. But the Lord Lu's look was hilarious. Like why...? She was not paying attention to him. JS gave a look and smile. She never let him walk beside him except when she has a favor.

But I have to say the I love the costumes. I clearly see efforts.

I can ignore some plot holes. I can look over some things. I usually appreciate any form of work - however good or bad it is.

And this ranks as an Average.

At the end i cannot remember what happened in the begining. That was how it felt. Not bored but nothing at all.

I have enjoyed all the good here with all the flaws

Go ahead and watch. Not everything is bad.
