The Woman Who Will Flourish
In today’s society where women more often than not fight against each other, Flourished Peony comes to the rescue, offering viewers a different dimension of ‘The World Of Women’.
But be careful because this drama was sent to steal your heart and soul, and rest assured at the end you will be glad it did.
Flourished Peony tells the story of Mu Dan (FL) , thrust into a life of marriage to save her mother and betrayed by the very family she submitted herself to. But Mu Dan will soon learn that marriage is easy to enter into, but hard to leave.
Set on the path of death by her In-Laws, Mu Dan escapes to the Capital to start a new life, and through out it all, the apparently Dandy, Loquacious, Spoilt, Corrupt Jiang Chan Yang (ML) is ever present.
But Jiang Chan Yang, trusted by the Emperor and the corrupt Flower Envoy, is not as he appears, and Mu Dan is smart enough to see through his facade just the same way he sees Mu Dan as more than a mere woman but one willing to escape her so called fate and carve a flourishing path for herself.
With Jiang Chan Yang serving as her investor and ever ‘strange’ support, Mu Dan grows in the business world, carving a formidable name for herself and other women whom she encounters on her path to flourish.
But Mu Dan will find out that just like flowers encounter obstacles while growing, her story would be no different for while she might have grown well, it will be difficult to tell if she will flourish and bloom at the end of it all.
Flourished Peony is bold in telling the story of the travails of woman and Mu Dan is no Damsel In Distress. At the same time, she is not necessarily over powering as the writers went to great lengths to show that no matter the determination of a woman, the society will still contradict her.
And that’s where the ML comes in. Seemingly powerful as he is, he does not attempt to overpower the FL in her journey. Jiang Chan Yang is a silent companion rooting for Mu Dan from the back stage and only stepping in where he absolutely must.
More than anyone he recognises the FL’s strength and it’s precisely because of that that these two are able to form a bond rarely ever seen in Chinese drama-land—the bond of ‘Best Friends’.
Yes, there’s sizzling chemistry between them and you can feel their attraction to each other from every spoken dialogue, but you see their friendship? Simply undeniable and absolutely breathtaking.
Now, I am simply waiting for Spring (In The Name of Blossom; the Sequel) where Mu Dan and the women around her will Bloom and flourish like a well tended Peony. And in her bloom, I’m hoping to see even more the fruits that will bear in her relationship with Jian Chan Yang :)
