After 10 episodes in, I am enjoying this drama! Yang Zi and Cheng Yi pair off so well! What I thought was overacting was simply the directing style. I just wish the dubbing was better.
Just watched episode 1. The production and lighting remind me of old dramas in the 90s which is not a bad thing - somewhat nostalgic. The dialogue and acting are so so but it seems interesting so I will keep watching.
I love the emperor - he’s reluctant to punish Prince Xiao even though the Prince might be betraying the country…
he found out that Prince Xiao was the one who caused the engagement between HZJ and LY to break, and led to LY stealing LBY’s sweetheart. Then the emperor was all ready to deal with Prince Xiao 😂
Start of ep 17 -wait, whose sword is in the baddie’s neck?!
I have the same thought! That YY will be like a snake in the grass…no one will expect it until it’s too late…but luckily the novel doesn’t imply that I think
Supposedly the empress will take a liking to NN who reminded her of younger self. She will be the mother figure who provided the love and support that NN never got
Gotta say, the background music is really well done in this show, and unexpected. Like the escort scene - I thought they would use something grand but the actual choice was much more effective… Side note: I keep forgetting that Wu Lei is only 22 😅
Thing is, most of the time the music is not even written when the actors film playing a instrument scenes, so…
True but I was more referring to how the actors hold and pretend to use the instruments. I play the flute and there is no way any music will come out the way ZLS was blowing into the flute - LOL
