"Don't imagine you can see through everyone around you. There are two sides to everything. The closer you get, the sharper the hidden edge becomes." Liu Tai Zhen
PLEASE NOTE: There's happy ending for this drama. So make sure to finish the ending credits to watch it. =)
Finally found the kind of story I am craving for, for the past few weeks. It must be destiny at this point, really!
I've been searching for a lighthearted costume romance drama but unfortunately wasn't that lucky for the past weeks but for some reason, after looking for various actors/actresses works on Mydramalist, Tian Xi Wei caught my attention...I was even reluctant since I am not so fond of Xu Kai after watching him on Ancient Love Poetry, but still gave it a shot; and right now, all I can say is that this must have been destiny guiding me to the right path. Because not only did I enjoy this drama so much but also made me appreciate Xu Kai, specially his almond and amber colored eyes. Additionally, I was so surprise to see Winwin (Dong Si Cheng) here. He's my ultimate bias after Luhan and although I know his projects, this one complete went off of my head. So seeing him here made me squeak out of pure delight and excitement.
The story and the whole drama was just perfect for me. It was lighthearted, easy to follow, and most importantly...full of heartwarming and silly moments. I love that the story wasn't flooded with heavy plot twists and rather allowed it to flow like water—smoothly and naturally—without getting bothered by any complex and unnecessary plot devices. So I am truly grateful to this production for sparing us from frustration and heartache.
The climactic scenes were skillfully executed. I was totally feeling the tension when the leads were finally revealing their true identities to one another. Personally, it was a highly anticipated moment, and watching them deliver their lines with immense aura, emotion, and grit made me grip my seat tightly, as I couldn't contain the chills running down my spine knowing that they met the expectation I had for that particular scene.
The antagonists (Wu Zi Shu & Rat Elder) were dealt with in an unexpectedly satisfying and abrupt manner. I expected both of them to be included in the final fight, but was quite surprised by how they were ended with ease. I'm not complaining though, because seeing them perish was truly satisfying; it saves us from further damage they may cause.
I also love the path they took to develop the leads' romantic relationship. Their frequent interactions allowed them to naturally flourish their curiosity and feelings, which resulted to them gradually falling in love with each other. The storyline for the 2nd CP was also impressive. It was well structured and they were given proper context and screentime to build and deepen their understanding and connection to one another.
Kudos to the props, costume and design team for their magnificent and outstanding craft. The actors/actresses stood out and shone even brighter thanks to their impressive and skilful touches. Even the costumes for the supporting roles were remarkable. Particularly, the intricate owl costume. That full head piece totally rendered me on a state of awe. The best!
Ultimately, I'm grateful towards the production team for still giving us a happy and silly ending. I'm glad I finished the ending credits, because if not, I may have missed their most deserved happy ending. It was interesting and silly to see them using the body-swapping-dolls during the end; and I must say that it was such a clever idea to have men experience childbirth.
Lastly, is what I consider as the highlight and most savoury aspect of this drama—their bed scenes! This came out as a total surprise and fascination to me. I don't know why but it do seems like they purposely and blatantly made each bed "sleeping" scene leave a hint as if they've done the 'deed' numerous times every freaking night! Wu Zhen's bare shoulders were constantly on a roll every single time she's waking up in the morning. The most sexually active CP of all c-dramas I have watched ever since.
Also, I was hysterical by how aggressive Mei Zhu Yu was during their kissing scenes. It's as if he's eating something scrumptious, he can't get enough of it. Specially in Ep.26 when Wu Zi Shu is peeping through their window. Man was GIVING his all—showing all he's got by presenting a spectacular performance.
Another episode of this was in Ep.27 when the 2ML (Mei Si) asked the FL (Wu Zhen) if her waist is in pain, then Mei Zhu Yu literally choked on his drink. Hinting of something they've done before coming to the family banquet. At that point, I just know they've tried countless positions. Haha!
P.S. I am so sorry for dedicating 3 paragraphs just to express how satisfying their off-screen bed scenes are. Cause their actions alone speaks louder than any actual footage.
"Wu Zhen, you were the one who got me involved with this world realm. You can't just abandon me like this." - Mei Zhu Yu
Story - 10, It was smooth sailing, straightforward and extremely entertaining to watch. A feel-good drama that will allow you to binge-watch the entire thing without feeling bored or stress.
Acting/Cast - 10, Highly satisfied of the cast! I have always loved Tian Xi Wei but seeing her here made me love her more. I have never expected/imagined watching TXW in a XianXia or WuXia drama (doing action scenes) since she's always been an adorable and delicate lady to me, so seeing her here being feisty and cool made me adore her more. Small but terrible! And as I mentioned above, this show has become a gateway for me to appreciate Xu Kai better. Hopefully, I can pick up one of his drama again soon.
Music - 10, I genuinely love the songs used in this production. The smooth and soft entrance of the BGM was excellent; it was never overpowering and slowly helped set up the mood for the scenes. The songs complemented the scenes they were used in; and through that, they were able to resonate the emotions with me/the viewer as well.
Rewatch Value - 10, This is one of the best lighthearted and smooth-sailing show I have come across in a long time. I will surely rewatch it if I have time to do so.
Overall - 10, I don't think I need to say anything else at this point. This is a remarkable, entertaining drama I would recommend to everyone.
