Best couple representation in a historical drama!
One of my favorite dramas of all time!
Very good romance!
As much as we wanted more Chang yu and Xie Zheng moments, we were spoiled with the 15 first episodes. We saw them get to know each other and falling in love.
Story
I read the book before watching the drama which is most of the time a disaster for me (comparing every moments) but in this case, it was very well done! Production was excellent. The story was well fleshed out.
One very small criticism (mimimal) : would be the typical rushed ending. The earlier war scenes were more impressive and well produced compared to the ending rebellion scene with Qi Min, Wei yan and Xie Zheng.
Another criticism (but really small detail) is I would have loved to see more of Xie Zheng as Marquis of Wu An, as the war lord capable of doing damage. In the book, he is very smart, arrogant, violent/dangerous and very possessive. They smoothed him out in the drama which I liked but I felt that they forgot to give him more personality. They also made him more vulnerable which is good but he shaked off injuries quicker in the book.
I love Chang Yu ! She is one of my favorite female lead. Courageous, responsible, silly, strong, protective and loving. The only thing is they rush through her becoming a general making her look unlike a general contrary to the book version where they laid foundations for her becoming a great leader. Where in the book, Xie Zheng / Yan Zheng taught her to read a lot of characters making it possible to start reading military strategy books. Also, they killed off General He/Tang too quick making it that she had less guidance. They also did not include Xie Zheng making her read a lot of books annotated by him to make her a competent general.
Despite all of these comments, this couple is so good! I loved it. I can't get enough of them. The drama is absolutely beautifully shot. SNOW is the key.
Special mention for the children actors in this drama. Ning Ning and Bao'er were an essential part of the story. The director managed to include them in the story in an essential way that was better then the book. I loved seeing them on-screen. 🥰🥰 Ning Ning is adorable.
This was great. Best drama of these past few years. WATCH IT! IT IS WORTH IT!!
