The fictional story that come into your life like a tsunami but every waves makes you love it more
Very very late review but I needed to come back to that drama because I think it's the one who suits my taste the most out of the many ones I've watched.
It was a perfect balance between enemies to lovers & arranged marriage, romance & politics and the comedic aspect was also great. The pace was perfect, I didn't feel bored at any episodes (and it's really important).
Last but the most important I want to praise the actors' performances because it made the drama even more good.
1. The Leads
- Wei Shao : I admit that I didn't like him at first not because the way he was treating Manman, it's an enemies to lovers so I couldn't expect less from him. I found that for a leader he was often blinded by his emotions and made hasty decisions, he was not what I call really smart ðŸ˜.
However after ep 6, he started to grew on me. Everyone around him had an agenda about him (his grandmother, his mother, his cousin even his wife...), he could get angry about that but he didn't held any kinda resentment and always tried to find a solution. I think that's the thing I liked the most about it him.
Of course I also loved how his romance with Manman was showcased, how he struggled between his feelings and his sense of loyalty toward his family and finally came across a solution to accept this situation.
- Qiao Manman : My girl 🩷, I think there weren't any moments she annoyed me, I love everything about her : her calm composition, her intelligence, wittiness, how shed stand for herself. Also loved how even if she had a strong character she wasn't made of steel and obviously could be swayed (ike when Wei Shao was putting an act in ep 6-7).
I think she was a good demonstration of a woman who can be strong without resorting to the cliché of the woman who can only be strong when she acts/fights like a man.
2. Side Characters
They blended well in this story. Some were annoying like the vilains but necessary to the plot I guess.
Wei Shao's little generals were my lights, they were so fun even if the end has broke my heart.
3. small small bad points
Some elements were lacking in the end firstly about Manman's cousin, they were close but grew apart so I wanted to see more about Manman's reaction about her cousin's death. Did she feel sorry, guilty because they couldn't reconcile before she died ? I don't know if I'm too curious but I think we should've seen it.
Secondly, I wanted also see a more strong reaction of Wei Shao about Wei Liang's death, I mean Wei Shao expressed that his generals were like his brothers so I wanted to see more.
Lastly I wanted to see more moments between our couple and their little daughter, yes I'm really greedy 🥹🥹
Anyway it was just me ranting about my beloved drama and I can only recommend this drama because it was true a mind-blowing experience.
