i plan on making this quite long.
i started watching this drama out of nowehre just because youtube suggested it to me and it looked quite fun. I went in with no expectations and boom - favorite drama of the year. i knew some actors/actresses from previous dramas especially liyunrui. i loved his acting in love like the galaxy and was extremely bummed because of his second lead role in the previous drama so i was of course overjoyed to be watching this one where he is the lead.
let me first start with the storyline. it was fucking beautiful. it was so hard to trust anyone after evey given episode, like after each and every episode im like what im trusting the right person right? this guy wont betray the ones i like right? my favorite character wont be degraded to execution or something right? my bloop pressure was over the roof for the last few episodes. it just kept rising with every scene. the storyline was executed to beautifully im just astounded. the way dou zhao grows up to be such a strong woman and be independant is truly admirable. the first part of the drama was lowkey blunt but the moment song mo and dou zhou came to know of each-other's presence, that was the moment the drama boosted up for me. thei rchemistry was immaculate and the enemies to lovers was just chef's kiss
honorary mention to miao ansu and song han. i really thought they would have a happy ending but alas that was truly unfortunate. the way so many people died out of the blue it was just sad. that was the only thing that i was found was unnecessary.
next the actors. not only did i like the leads for some reason i loved gu yu and ji yong's characters sm as well. i was wavering the whole series whether ji yong is to be trusted or not like every other episode he gains dou zhao's trust but the very next episode he is out for blood like bro wtf choose a side i fucking swear my bp peaked just because of him. gu yu was a lovely character, he was the comedic relief this drama needed and i hoped he could be there more. other than that i love miao ansu as well. ik kong xuer from ywy and i was honestly surprised as i did not know she was a part of this drama.
all in all this is the best impulsive decision ive made this year, totally worth all my time and mental health.
