Masterpiece - A Classic
This drama was a MASTERPIECE beginning to end. Too often the dramas start strong and then become tedious in the middle, keep dragging or do not stick the landing and ruin the ending. This drama had no loose ends. It was well crafted in story, well produced, well directed, greatly executed in acting. I cannot say I have been more satisfied by a drama. This has entered the classics like Yanxi Palace for me. It was like an art piece, poetry in motion and great lines. I am extremely satisfied by my viewing experience of this drama. Ding Yuxi and Deng Enxi have made me buy a ticket for all their future projects from now on, same with this director who I know also directed Prisoner of Beauty.
I just don't understand some of the complains people are making they almost sound ridiculous to me because they were saying that there were not many romance scenes from couple, some said the politics was too much, and some even said the villains got off too easy. These complains make me just facepalm out of frustration and disbelief lol.
People need to understand there are different genres in media and there are varieties in story and it is good to have this variety. It is kind of like food. There is junk food, there are desserts, there are herbs and spice and vegetables and fruits. Just like that vertical dramas, or tropey cliche dramas, mini dramas, or long form dramas, or movies etc serve a purpose. You will not eat junk food every day every meal. But once in a while it tastes good right??
The themes of this show, the story, the characters all made sense at all points of the story. I especially liked the fact that this drama did not kill of support character for cheap emotions. If they died, it was only because it made sense for the story.
Perfection from beginning to end.
I really hope people gain some media literacy from now on tho. If people do not know how to appreciate good stuff and give credit when it is due, the market will become flooded with only low quality stuff and then we will be bored because we have nothing thought provoking to watch anymore.
