Female tyrant would be a really actually title for Wei Rao
In my 10 years of watching cdramas. Never once have i seen a FL soo twisted, cunning, dark, yet kind. The way she grows from a night soil woman. The way she thinks. The way she acts. Words can't describe how unique Wei Rao is. As for Jun Dai, the actress really did a good job with the double role. I couldn't wait for the end.
Another unique thing about the show was how it was not just the FL who was twisted but the ML too and how he loved the scheming girl as she is. He never forced her to reveal her plans instead he was like, I know she's planning something. I'll look into it if she needs some help.
Every episode of this drama was just unskippable. For the 1st time in my entire life i watched the politics part of the drama without skipping. There were barely any green characters. In my pov only Lu and the 4th prince were green. Everyone else was pretty gray.
Now the reason for deduction 0.5 was I feel it needed 2 more episodes or atleast another. Not i won't say it was a bad ending. It was a happy ending. But after all that politics it would have been better if they showed Rao having family and kids and living peacefully than continuing scheming. Another thing I didn't like was how most of the side character got a sad ending n few who's story were just left open.
- Chao's adopted parents- dead
- Chao's brother - forced labor
- Chao's sister - had to leave the person she loved and marry another
- Sister's crush - spends his life watching his lover with someone else
- Rao's aunts - dead/banished
- Rao's paternal grandmother - ages alone in guilt
- Rao's cousin - dead and another probably married to a low family cz she no longer has a reputation cz of her mom and sister
- Emperor, his concerts, empress, princes - dead
- emperor dowager - ages alone
- Rao's maid - dead
N so on..
Things i would have liked different in the last 2 episodes. The 4th prince lived and had a child with is main wife. Rao's adopted sister was granted divorce and allowed to marry her crush. Rao and Lu had a child and general Qi found a lover. The emperor still alive and watched everyone being happy and a smooth handover to the next reign while the emperor and rao's mom (who i wish was made empress) go into retirement.
Overall it was good but i just wished the ending was happy for not just the 2 leads
