I'm coming in the middle of today's episode to say that Ruan XiWen (FL's mother) is such a good actress. My gosh! I enjoyed all her micro-expressions so far.
It’s so slow-paced and I can’t seem to enjoy the actions that are ongoing in the show.
Some dramas are slow-paced yet the events going on in the drama keeps you interested and the story flows. But, not this. The actors are good but the events going on aren’t interesting and it’s also slow. The script and direction seems to have been the problem.
For now im assuming its "for the plot" and they didn't take into acount the scar issue.But there's a high chance…
Of course, she knew. How else would the maid she sent know exactly what part of her cloth to open and reveal a scar? Also, she planned to send her to Danzhou as a baby in cahoots with that Taoist, of course, she knew she wouldn't be treated well. Also, with the way the foster parents were complaining about money, it seems (although not yet revealed in the drama) that she made sure the money and the provisions never got to Danzhou. She is the mastermind and was only pretending in episodes 1 &2 that she was the sweet concubine to FL until FL decided to cause a ruckus to reveal everyone's true colour.
Oh, the make-up artist for this show is exceptional. Scars are believable, blood looks believable too and torture looks real. Kudos so far to the team. I hope their budget wasn't cut off halfway and the look of the drama changes later LOL.
I love the decisiveness of the characters (especially the FL) in this show. There is no time to cry over it, plan and execute (and in an intelligent way too) 👏

5 episodes in and I’m sorry I have to let it go.
