Entertaining
I am going to try and keep this short.
I love this drama. This is my first time watching Tian Xi Wei. Girl did amazing.
Love ZLH. Liked the secondary couple too especially Deng Kai. The entire cast have amazing talent.
Backdrop:
Aesthetically pleasing. Loved the snowy scenery in the first quarter of the drama. It really set the tone of fl's life and then seeing battle and politics in the other half ... you can see the 180 and how drastically her life changed.
What I liked:
•Fl's gradual progression to becoming what she did
•Fl's love for Ml didn't make her forget herself and her town, her people and others she cared for. Everyone had a place and importance for her.
•Fl's fighting skills
•ZLH's acting was awesome. One moment he was full of tender looks for her and then the next when there's danger or someone was interrupting, they got 'the shooting daggers look'.
•Loved Deng Kai here. Dude looked smoking hot. He was a total red flag character due to his past trauma and there is absolutely no excuses for what his character did because it was wrong but the chemistry he had with Kong Xue Er was awesome.
What I didn't like:
I definitely did struggle on the political side of the story. No lies. I might still not be understanding everything but I got the gist of it.
I felt like there were a tad bit too many characters being spoken about without actually seeing them first or getting much of a chance to get familiar with them at the beginning. I found myself may be guessing or rewinding at times but gradually understood who was who.
What could have been better:
I did find some inconsistency like Fl saying she participated in many battles etc but all in all it was 2 and she was still technically a newbie. I feel like a lot of scenes were cut so may be they did shoot more battle scenes. Some fight scenes were good but the entire final battle scene was a bit lacking. I feel like may be there should have been atleast a few epic ones with the Marquis tbh.
Well, if I feel like that then why did I rate it a 10?
Because no matter what, I still found myself glued to the screen, anticipating episode after episode and actually finished the drama which is quite a feat in my eyes. I didn't realise time was flying when watching the episodes because like what do you mean I watched 40 mins? It felt like 5 mins.
Yes, there were bits lacking but there were also bits that really made me enjoy this show. It's fictional and I reminded myself to not get stressed over these things. I'm watching it for entertainment - not for homework. However, with that being said, I don't want to watch something that's terribly made. This wasn't terrible. It was great. Not perfect but great.
Everyone has their own journey and experience and likings. You may or may not like it. You won't find out until you try it so give it a go.
