i love watching chinese costume dramas sm. i fell upon prisoner of beauty on a random sunday when it was still airing and got bummed about it so i patiently waited 2 weeks for it to finish (the worse 2 weeks in my life fr) i was over the moon when this ended lmao
the story follows the typical contractual marriage with forced proximity trope. the fl and ml are married off to each other to form an alliance and forget their past feuds. at first they were very much at odds but slowly and surely she wins his heart.
i love how this was a proper enemies to lovers and kinda slow burn. i love slow burn sm. i absolutely loved how them bering enemies was nothing like he is ignoring her until he thinks of her or starts caring for her and realises he likes her, this one was proper if u speak ill kill you vibes which later on went on to become i will kill for her. i loved them so much not to mention their chemistry was just out of this world. i binge watched te last 15 episodes i just loved this sm and couldnt wait to finish this. apart from the romance the politics was so good oh my good, no matter how much i praise this drama its of no good, this was an absolute banger. i hated lady yulou sm, i hated shiyuan at first but slowly he gained my trust, was still wary of him when he left for the last time but i had the biggest goosebumps when he came back to fight for wei. i had seen that bi zhi would rebel against wei shao on the internet but did not know why so i spent almost all of the series trying to figure out if he is evil lmao. i did not want to be spoiled so i never watched the content till the end and i was so confused lol. nevertheless i loved it sm, the romance, the politics, the chemistry between the leads i love them sm.
talking about the leads song zuer and li yuning fit the rol so perfectly. i did not realise they could look so good side by side with each-other and not to mention they made me feel like i need a bf so many times lmao. their chemistry was literally the best like sparks were flying everywhere they burned me, like literally. i loved how they were not only funny but so serious as well, aaaaaah i love them sm
last but not the least, the four brothers. i had tears in my eyes when wei liang passed, i knew about his passing but still it felt so sad. ngl i did blame manman at that time, if she did not have that dream wei liang would have been alive, they wouldve gotten intel on the rebellion from elsewhere or qiao ci couldve informed them, there were so many ways. he did not die in vain but it was, for sure, unnecessary. i loved the four brothers sm. wei xiao and wei duo were visually apealing. kinda loved how wei xiao was always supportive towards wei even till the last episode. he loved the people he knew from qiao but was not ready to trust everyone and i respect him for that. wei quo was me. like literally me. i could see myself in him we are so similar lmao.
ill miss these characters sm they were my life for almost a week, ill just miss them sm i want a season 2
