good but not mind blowing
The plot, well...its not really that exciting. Its an enemies to lovers plot with alot of other parties involved. First there is his revenge for his mother, then there is yixiao's revenge, then there is XJS's revenge....just all sorts of revenge stories mixed together. I enjoyed the start and the build up to the villains involved but it was quite obvious from the start. Halfway through the plot became a bit draggy and I was hoping there will be some big twist. But there was nothing much.
However, its still a good watch cause i enjoyed CZY's acting. The most unlikeable character for me was his sister cause she was really very naive and just causes all the issues. Her stories with the emperor from Jinxiu was just a waste of time. XJS ended up being a villain because his revenge plan coincidentally included people from FSG's side but what both of them were doing was mostly the same.
The plot after eps 28 was just a mess...it was just a bunch of filler eps without much substance. They introduced issues between the leads to drag it out until the final battle which just ended in 2eps....Technically this is the pattern for cdramas, im not surprised anymore.
I enjoyed the acting by both the leads, they chemi was good as well. Their chemi was good but their kiss scenes were shot so badly kinda ruined the moment. I was impressed by CZY cause usually i only see him in modern dramas so historical was a change. Only issue was sometimes the makeup on his face was too much that it was really obvious. Especially his lips which always didnt have any colour. I really liked his fits tho! I feel like they styled him well. Li Qin was really pretty and also very good. Her acting was more graceful and calm. I loved her makeup especially the eye shadow.
