Best costume romance drama this year... so far
Story:
The story actually not extraordinary, but sweet romance always a cozy escapism. I like the characterization, smart and strong-minded FL combine with grumpy but soft-heart ML make the dynamic between them unstoppable to watched. And in accordance to the title, the FL's beauty is striking, though other female characters also good looking. The one negative point of the story is the ending. I feel that the ending is a little bit rushed, not all the key characters had their satisfying conclusion. The pacing also felt too slow, as the story start to get gripping after 20s episodes.
Acting:
Song Zuer is a very pretty actress, she is one of actresses that I found very suitable to her character with beauty and witty characterization. Her acting is also high praised , she really nailed it. However, I felt down in the last episode, wish she got more portion to show her strength. For Liu Yuning, this is the second drama where I enjoy his excellent acting. The first one is The Journey to Love. In both drama, his characterization is almost the same, I think he is most suitable for this type for character. Although he is not a typical striking handsome for the first glance, he has charisma for skillful character. For the side characters, I like all Wei Shao's generals and advisor, also Xiao Qiao's attendants.
Production: The female's costumes are beautiful, and some of the architectures and the interiors are exquisite, pleasing to watch.
Overall:
This is no doubt the best romance drama I have watched so far this year. Although I think this drama is a bit over-hyped, but watching it is like a dopamine booster for me.
