From night-soil woman to Princess of the Realm
What a show! It started in a crazy way and it ended in a crazy way!
I think it deserves an 8.5/10 but I gave it a 9/10 because I had a lot of fun watching this drama. Never thought it would get me this addicted, trying to guess what was coming next (and always failing 😅) or that I would be this attached to so many different characters.
Tian Xi Wei, the actress you are! 👏👏👏
She amazingly portrayed two characters with different attitudes. You could tell right away who was who because she managed to pull off various expressions, body languages, way to speak in the characters making the différences very clear.
Kudos to Yan An too! 👏
I wasn't familiar with this actor, heard it was his first lead role and I felt he did a good job playing Lu Zhuo.
They both had an amazing chemistry. The tension between their characters never ceased, it was Pleasant. ^-^
The drama is not romance focused but the romance plays the a big part. It's a fun romance between a scheming girl and a cold duke heir who's going to turn shameless once in love. We get plenty swoony moments and beautiful dialogues.
Overall, I felt the story was well written. It's far from perfect, they are plot holes and mainly the female lead gets a proper growth of character, while others get minimal to none. Yet, it doesn't take anything from the show.
The drama remains enjoyable because it's more about the story from rags to riches of a scheming girl.
Even when we tackle the politic side of the drama, the transition is well done. It was kept relatively simple so it's easy to understand.
The supporting cast was amazing too! The characters are not deep but still good. The villains gave us a good run with their evilness and the kind supporting characters become quite attaching.
The OSTs, the cinematography, the costumes, the color palettes! Everything was beautiful, to the ears and the eyes.
The pacing felt just right, quite steady til the end. I didn't find any episode boring at all.
The ending felt kinda rushed and with unnecessary drama yet not out of place for the type of show this drama was, a dramatic mess, lol.😆
In my top drama of the year, for sure! I recommend watching it if you enjoy drama. 😉
