Fated to Love You after all that Trauma. Love and Understanding Heals.
I dived into this drama upon seeing the many positive reviews. I watched “Hidden Love” before and I didn’t think highly of this actor. I watched the FL in “The Wolf” and felt that she was okay. In I dived into this drama and gosh, I’m glad I did.
What I Liked:
- The beginning was super exciting. I like it a lot when we get to dive right into the action instead of having long build-ups. There was so much going on right from the start. I loved their “fatal attraction” to each other. All that fighting and S&M was both funny in a way and weirdly hot.
- The plot was interesting, fast-paced, suspenseful and entertaining. In general, I looked forward to watching what would happen next.
- The cast was great in general. The FL was super easy on the eyes and the ML fully redeemed himself from his role in “Hidden “Love IMO. :) They had good chemistry and appeared to be a beautiful couple who was well-matched in terms of fighting skills and ambition.
- It also turned out that the Emperor of Jinxiu wasn’t such an ass after all. One of the stand-out scenes of this drama was episode 38 where he was being killed by Xia Jingshi but refused to bow down. However, when his love, Feng Xiyang, was being cornered by Xia Jingshi, he went down on his knees immediately to beg for her life. The look of devastation on his countenance when she was stabbed was so moving. My heart ached to see his deeply anguished look upon seeing his lady love and unborn child being killed. Stellar acting there. So moving, so memorable.
What I Didn’t Like So Much:
- Crazy emperor, Feng Ping Cheng, and all the other crazies like Empress Zhuang, Murong father and son and so on. So warped.
- I hated Xia Jingshi with his nonsensical logic and Xiao Weiran for blindly following him. Get a grip, dude. Be ethical and have a mind and backbone of your own like Ning Fei.
- So much bloodshed. :( Too much for my liking.
Overall, this is a very interesting drama. It definitely deserves a high rating for its great cast and plot. Kudos! I like it very much indeed.
