Exploring Jade
From the very first episode this drama hooks you in, with stunning visuals, quaint setting and endearing characters who pull you in with every second that you watch. Each episode builds the love story between the main lead characters Fan Chang Yu (FL) and Xie Zheng / Yan Zheng (ML) in a stunning and exciting way. From the edge of death, to the marketplace, to the frontlines of the battlefield and the midst of palace drama and court intrigue our main leads fight through it all. The "Pursuit of Jade is aptly titled because this story follows their search for something fragile, true and impossible to replace. I highly recommend this drama if you like stunning visuals, strong lead females, moving story lines and fantastic actors.The main con I have about this drama is that there weren't enough episodes. I think if there had been 5-10 more episodes some of the storylines regarding secondary and background characters that seemed a bit rushed might have come together with a bit more polish. Additionally while the SL couple is stunning in visuals and acting ability there came a point where their repeated scenes did more to detract from my enjoyment of the show than add to it so I believe their screen time could have been reduced and been shared along with the MLs or been given to help flush out the backstory of some of the court politics.
Overall I did thoroughly enjoy this drama and will be rewatching
