An unforgettable cathartic experience
The best revenge CDrama I've ever watched. I have never written a review for anything I watched, but I must do so for this one because YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!
From the start to the end, this show had me hooked! Every episode was getting more and more interesting and the show was filled with some really interesting characters.
It was quite cathartic to watch Wei Rao plot against every imaginable scheme and always come out on top, especially episode 28 (she really did shake the realm).
The revenge in this is by far the most satisfying aspect! The fact that the FL is so smart (and iirc never once got outsmarted) was so satisfying to watch! I'm a sucker for smart FLs and I think I can confidently say Wei Rao is the smartest character in all of costume cdrama-verse.
(Almost felt like watching an overpowered smart main character Anime lol)
The romance was quite good too and the leads had great chemistry :D
I also loved how Wei Rao went from nothing to someone with the most power in the empire by the end of the show. And the people's loyalty toward her was also beautiful to see! I love it when characters have strong and loyal subordinates who can save their masters with their own power (Xiao & Bitao pro max/Aman best subordinates fr)! Episode 23 was my favorite! The way Wei Rao just kept walking without flinching and all attempts at her were deflected by the guards 😱😩
The ending being open was unexpected. I'm a newbie to cdramas and I wasn't expecting that big of a cliffhanger 😭 I wish there'd be a season 2 or a special episode with more closure but I guess that's a longshot... Still, seeing how Wei Rao and Lu Zhuo never lost to anyone's scheme, it's a given that they'd overcome whatever trials they face next and a happy ending is predictable.
(I do wish they ended at the part where Lu Zhuo was teaching Wei Rao swordsmanship though... Let's collectively agree that this was the true ending hehe)
