Yes, am pretty sure the positive reax to this drama is an indication of way too many fluffy period dramas this…
Oh kindred spirits! So you must have watch Velvet, The Grand Hotel & among others from Spain. BTW I definitely recommend The Magnificent Century. I was hesitant to watch it before but when I started, episode 1 will hook you. It dramatizes the life of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent & his love Hurem. It's a great series about the Ottoman empire and involves a lot of real harem drama. Aside from the story being great the men are such eye candies specially on Magnificent Century Kosem. Netflix is incomplete you'll find it on Youtube.

I'm glad this drama is getting attention that it deserves. If one must pay attention they would realize why they don't recognize each other.:O Yes a lot of C-dramas lately don't have the meat and the ones that has don't get subtitled. It's probably high time for me to learn Mandarin:O I check Chinese shows every now & then and when I like something I immediately watch it. Then I go back to my faves Brits & Spanish period dramas. Then I watch the Turkish Magnificent Century/Kosem/Ertugrul multiples times because it's really meaty. By any chance you've watched those?
Such an absolutely fantastic drama! I could use all superlatives here. From the lavish production to the cast's acting. It's a no nonsense period drama devoid of any puerile characters. Thank god I've stumbled on this by accident. I'm tired of the teeny-bopper offerings that is constantly on the menu. There are other Chinese dramas I'd like to watch sadly it's not subtitled e.g. the June released Sai Shang Feng Yun Ji - seems to be very interesting.
I like to watch a man on screen that aged like mine or older than me and the male lead here is terrific. HIs portrayal is subtle but impactful. Female lead is a no nonsense kick-ass heroine - not a dying swan type. The actress is good so far.
I like how the screenwriters tried to infuriate the watchers with the leads' actual identity reveal. But no! It's only almost! Some are questioning why Lige can't recognize the ML. Because if you watch closely from episode 1 they never had a face to face encounter. Lige's attention was on Lu Yuan & the prince had only a quick glance of her dance while wearing a mask. Also no facial painting was provided by the master to identify the prince. Cell phones and photos didn't exist during archaic period. When FL tried to assassinate the prince there was no close face to face encounter. Thus no recognition between them during their meetings. I don't think Lige tried to pass on as male on one of her disguises. I believed she simply dressed as female commoner. One of the scenes where she was on the street with the pottery/china accident the man called her "guniang" (not sure of the spelling).
