With the passion and the will, you can strive to achieve a life for yourself
This drama is a continuation from #FlourishedPeony which aired early this year. Overall the drama felt very realistic with good pacing and no over the top plots. The progression of the story was done very well with the main focus being on the topic that it is possible for women to survive without relying on their husbands.
I'm glad the writers and the directors did not stray away from this idea and constantly reminded us that MuDan our FL is not someone who is weak but she is smart and independent and can protect herself. There weren't random damsel in distress moments but instead it was Mudan who always fought for herself.
Similarly our ML Jiang Chang Yang also never forced it on Mudan to take his assistance but instead walked along side her and her plans only helping out when required. I loved the respectful relationship they had! Altho the romance is slow burn but you can clearly see how they start out as partners and then become friends and then finally ppl who want to protect each other.
It was great to see the chemistry between #Yangzi and #Lixian again~~ there were so many cute scenes towards the end hehe
This time i was also amazed by #Mileswei because i was seeing him as a villain for the first time and his acting was really good to the point he annoyed me so much while watching.
Although there is politics involved but its not explored in great details so there is no extensive betrayal plots or wars. It's mostly about how women are seen very differently in the past and how some of them choose to live their lives.
Overall a very well paced drama with a really good closure for all actors. Our leads with them happy ending and also all her shop "employees" with their own stories. It's been long since i watched a drama without a rushed ending so this was good!
