haha you missed everything ))) But you can catch up with reuters in discussion threads
ok, I see now -- checked the media, the photographs and contents -- I AM HOOKED, the costumes are so aesthetically pleasing, and the teasers are not bad at all ~
I still feel left in the dark .-. -- even after checking out Weibo posts etc. -- is it because of the unique character design and the story, that also has comic relief? is it because of the reputation of these good Chinese actresses and actors?
To me, this series displayed the heartbreaking struggles of womenhood in ancient times, where one man (Yu Qi) respects the authority women should have over their own lives and also, together with Jiang Si, helps them get justice:
They had several cases of ‘unhappy marriages’ where the woman would be in a dead-end situation. Mothers and daughters that were not taken serious. Mothers and daughters that were merely treated like objects or tools to climb. Mothers and daughters that made other mothers and daughters suffer to protect/ revenge themselves. Mothers and daughters that protected others and willingly suffered. Women that were too doctrinized and scared to stand up for other women ... Women that were stubborn and dedicated to bring justice!
To me this story was truly unique, despite minor flaws.
Thank you for gifting us the work of "Si Jin". Though you may never read this, it´s my honor to be able to see your work has been turned into a live-action drama. I think it is a big milestone in the genre of womanhood and the heartbreaking proof of inequality and injustice. Thanks a lot!
