Saw this drama having hype a year ago, but I think I was more interested in other things and was in a drama drought( Not interested in watching dramas for a time). So a year later I was having a crave to watch one, I was debating whether to continue dramas I couldn't finish or just watch something new, after seeing the first episodes of Glory(2026) and watching a short costume drama, and seeing Blossom(2024) among the most popular chinese drama's, suddenly I just decided to watch Blossom(2024). As expected the hype wasn't for nothing, although the start may seem like the usual start of a regression drama, it was still interesting. After that we get to see mostly what the female lead and what her situation was, the male lead was still there but not as much as the female lead and they were also setting up his story, I guess you could say he wasn't the highlight, it was always the female leads family and adversaries up until when the main leads meet, that's where we see a little bit more of the male leads character and what he was like before he had white hair. We also get to see the crux of the story, The Emperor and the Duke of Ding and what there relationship was. Anyways I don't want to make a summary of the drama lmao, this is for documentation so it doesn't matter. I gotta say I really like how they made the first half of the drama more female lead centered then for the second half it is mostly male lead centered. After the disappearance of Wang Xingyue from the story, the story was revolving around the male leads situation. It also fits the character of the female lead, at first she had to rely on herself most of the time and she didn't have anyone outside her friends and family to care about, and lastly she was afraid of love due to what happened to herself and her mother. After meeting Song Mo she finally loved someone and cared for someone outside her friends and family. Her family then took a backseat and she was always together with the male lead. When they got married the focus of the story went to the Song Mo's family with Wang Xingyue popping up here and there. That was until Dou Ming died and shortly after Wei Tingyu, after that the story was truly focused on the Song/Jiang family then later on the Royal family. I gotta say though I thought there were more of the characters Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu, especially with that first episode. Didn't expect them to die just like that and be used as a removal of Wang Xingyue to the story. I kinda hated the love triangle between the leads and Yuantuan, he was literally the matchmaker for both in their previous life, but then I guess they wanted that as enough reason for him to betray Prince Qing. I like the emperor pretty crazy scheme, but damn I guess he failed in the previous life, I mean common, this guy actually risked everything for his plan, it worked out in the second run though. i mean we knew it would work out, knew it when the self insert of the author would always say that the female lead can change fate long as she has enough strength, but then also added that individual strength is insignificant, so long as she and Song Mo the fated ones work together they can change fate. Pretty Overpowered if you tell me jk hahah. That ending, I know a simple search would answer my question but I do wonder if the novel actually have sequels hahaha. The rebels are pretty greedy hahaha, could've had a pretty nice life but oh well, drama wouldn't happen if the characters were contented with what they had. The acting was nice at times Meng Ziyi was a little off but it got better with more episodes, Li yun rui on the other hand a ted better but couldn't cry as well as others. The other cast did really well, in return it made the quality of drama elevate alongside with a pretty great plot. The music wasn't really striking, doesn't matter that much to me, I understand though that amazing music will make the drama more memorable, still it's alright. It's also a great rewatch later on, as so with other great drama like this one. Liked the romance and it's pacing and I see why there chemistry were praised. Overall, pretty great drama, will probably rewatch sometime in future.
