I am OBSESSED with Luo Yun Xi's looks
Finally something watchable and something worth reviewing. First few minutes in the drama and you can tell it is gonna be one of those bangers that you wait for the whole year if Luo Yun Xi is in it. I loved it a lot and when I say a lot...I mean it because I binge-watched all four episodes in a single sitting. The drama just draws you in with its suspenseful and breathtakingly beautiful scenes and the music is cherry on top. This is the sort of vibe which I got while watching 'Till the end of the moon' (atleast the first half of that drama). You can totally feel the 'Lotus case book' vibes because both the dramas have the same author. So if you like that one...you're gonna love the other one even more.
I somehow love seeing Luo Yun Xi in antagonist roles. I don't know why but his sharp looks just goes with that and the starting scenes are just what I needed to get completely obsessed with the drama. I know he is playing a good character here but he is cunning and his smart way of dealing with the situations is going well with his heartless character. The haunting carriage and the wedding scenes are more than enough to make you binge watch it. What I wasn't expecting was seeing Alen Fang in an antagonist role and he is really very good here. I loved his mischievous, flirting, goofy roles a lot but this one is something else. All characters so far are good. I know it is more about brothers/friends centric and romance is not the centre but whatever we are getting, those little nuiances, subtle expressions and looks between FL ( if you can really call her that) and ML are more than enough to make your heart flutter. I just wish they dwelled little bit more with their story. Inspite of that I love seeing a FL who is not a typical bubbly personality instead she is serious, and her expressions adds depth to it that makes you think what is her back story. Other FL also portrayed her character well but it wasn't something that really stood out to me. The role was simple and there wasn't much to it. I loved all the other characters as well. A well selected cast for sure.
Overall I am very impressed with acting, CGI, and obviously smart writing though certain arcs could be shortened a little bit. Some scenes just felt dragged like one of the villains who kept pestering, she could be delt easily but it was done again and again. There were few scenes which made me skip the conversation. But overall it was really a good one especially if you are ML's fan. He is definitely made for historical/costume dramas.
