screaming 'high budget' in bold letters..
Quite an enjoyable plot in fact
delivering better than what you expect of a typical wuxia/period drama plot. There is romance, comedy , suspense, crime investigation, family politics,business rivalry, Amnesia, contest participation, literally almost everything you can ask for. I loved the lead characters played by HMH and Gul , both are strong, inspiring, smart, calculating, kind but not innocently weak. HMH showed a bit different shade from what he usually does ..this time he is not playing the immortal upright personality but somewhat conniving and strategizing persona. Giving more of a punch to it Gul is playing an intellectual,bold and witty businesswoman. She is pulling that ice cold yet secretly caring poised look with brilliance.
Both leads have superb 'who-will- outsmart-the-other chemistry, which is honestly very refreshing cause at this point I am just bored of that cringe bubblegum romance.
Moving on to other people cheng xiao particular grabbed my attention i almost couldn't recognise her at first ..her looks, expressions and body language ..clearly she did a lot of work on that .. unfortunately they still had dub her voice.
Apart from that there is a long list of actors who are either very popular for their support roles or household names in the short drama fanbase.. Richard li, Zhao yi qin , Zhao jiamin, asher ma , teng ze wan, Zhao Zhao yi ,yu yin ..and there are so many who are yet make their appearances in the plot. I mean this is by far the best casting I have seen in any Cdrama, they must have spent a good budget on it.
Styling is unique, Looking inspired by the Mongolian and USSR fusion (when it was USSR) their attires , accessories and fur headpieces are so just so adorable. Clearly the styling dept has put real efforts here.
Moreover the aesthetic and detailing in the set designing, the soothing BGM and scenic tea plantations. Literally everything about this drama is screaming high budget.
Definitely a must-watch.
