Swapped sedan swapped soulmates (kinda!)
Excuse me !!!! but I am writing a lazy review for this one . š„±š„±
Pretty cute premise ā two girls are about to be married to their respective partners, but their bride sedans get exchanged, and they end up at the wrong places. At this point, I thought this was going to turn out like The Starry Love ā I mean, the bad boy-good girl and good boy-bad girl combo... but not really.šµ
The FFL was supposed to marry a general but ends up in a noble/feudal lord-type family, while the SFL, who was meant to be the daughter-in-law of that family, gets married to the general instead. Either way, they both end up finding the love of their lives through these mistaken marriages.š«”
Plot holes: š³ļø
Thereās very little development in their love stories. It looks rushed ā the way they fall for each other so quickly doesn't feel natural. In the case of the second couple too, they meet around the 7th-ish episode, and their love story starts right away.
Cast:
Both Ao and Tian are my faves, but they seem a little green in this drama. Thereās a lot of overacting and forced chemistry. Honestly, they look less like a couple and more like siblings ā the ābig brother teasing little sisterā kind of vibe (Iāve never used this statement for any couple before, so if Iām saying this, you know itās serious). Their dynamic just doesnāt ring a š
The second couple started a bit late. Sure, there was a spark, but first, the SML entered relatively late into the plot, and second, the SFL had to pretend to be a man around him. There was an āunderstandingā kind of love, but nothing passionate. His role as a general is emphasized way too much. He wasn't even present to receive his bride when she arrived ā but here's the kicker: both his previous wives died under tragic circumstances, and he was absent both times. That got me thinking... I shouldn't expect a good romance from such a flat character ā and I was right! š
Extras:
BGM was okay. Styling was your regular, predictable period drama fare. The plot got duller with each passing episode. Too much emphasis on the family business of the FML, and while I was genuinely looking forward to FFLās martial arts movesā¦ I wasnāt served to my satisfaction.
Overall: Just so-so.
