Arranged marriage trope at it best
Ongoing review ahaha I’ll finish later, just wanted to start for myself with some pointers after finishing
General points :
1) the costumes were gorgeous to me. Also like the hairstyle
2) fighting scenes were well done and filmed. I like this director style and work, it’s my third drama of him. Impatiently waiting for Shadow Love.
3) Music was okay, not the best osts to me, but the closing song grow on me
4) Great landscapes and scenery
5) I think everyone in term of acting did a good job, top acting from leads to support cast
6) Good cast and I think they fitted the characters. Also the characters had chemistry
7) No love triangle or third wheel
- Qiao Man :
- Wei Shao :
- Qiao Man & Wei Shao :
* First look : the first time they met and say each other, the expression on both their face spoke. His face was like softening and I said how he is probably thinking how beautiful she looks. Even her, she seemed I intrigued or something
* Wedding: I like how early it was, episode 5.
- Wei 4 guards + advisor :
- Wei Liang & Xiao Tao :
- Lady Xu : I pretty much liked her character.
- Wei Yan :
- Bi Zhi & Qiao Fan :
- Qiao Ci :
- Liu Yan :
- Su E Huang : feel like this was a good ending for her, the realization. The actress played this scene very well. How she wasted all that time, scheming and whatever she was doing. She missed 3 times, 3 man who actually loved her. All her fault and bu her own bad choices.
- Wei Liang’s death : it’s even more sad to me watching edits on TikTok, I was crying earlier. I was hoping he wasn’t death a few times, but when Wei Qu got him, I knew it was real. The scene of the 4 generals admiring the moon and how they were like they hadn’t done this for a while and they should do it again. Like that whole scene, we could feel that meant something was going to happen, I was expected at least one death because of this scene. When Qiao Ci I told them he was death…. That room was like filled with some guilt and everyone reaction got me. Wei Qu, who was suppose to go, but made him go instead. Wei Shao who is the one who send someone there. Qiao Ci, who think he should have died instead. Qiao Man, her uncle’s betrayal lead to the death, etc…
- the scene of Wei Qu getting Wei Liang’s Body : that scene was very good to me. Felt the heartbreak and emotion. The actor acted very well. Very cool scene, him puting him on his back, no matter what he will bring him home, when he was fighting too, that looked awesome to me. He is badass. I was so scared for a sec that he would die.
- liked how the 3 women, FL, ML’s mom and grandmother become closer and closer has the drama progressed. His mom finally accepted her at some point and in the last ep, how the 3 of them stayed strong together. After she gave birth, the 3 lady of Wei. The mom was annoying at first, she got some character development.
- Plot in general :
- Ending :
* Happy ending
* Felt a bit rushed to me :
* Disappointed we didn’t saw ML and FL reunite after war was over or him seeing for the first time their daughter
* I liked the scene of Xiao Tao and the 3 Wei general, saying their goodbye to Wei Liang. Their bond is still strong as ever and I appreciate how she’s also close to them. Beautiful scene and emotional.
