Underrated Gem!!
Casting: I can't emphasized how spot on the casting is for not only the main leads but also the supporting characters. XK did not disappointed as our aloof and quiet MZY, some people may find his character boring but thats just exactly how his character is supposed to be. XK played wonderfully when emotions were not needed but when it came to the emotional scenes, boy did his eyes delivered. I am officially a fan of TXW, the way she portrayed the flirty, fearless, sassy but innocent cat lord was magnificent, I usually hate cutesy characters cause I find actresses often over do them and end up cringey but TXW managed to carry that out in such a charming and lovable way, I literally cannot get enough of her character.
CP: these two are sooo visually stunning and just screams compatibility. The short promos I see of them makes me think that they would be a hot duo in a modern drama. The kiss scenes are so well done ❤️❤️, I've never seen kisses so sensually done, it screams sexual tension in a classy way. TXW is one of the few C-drama actresses i feel knows how to kiss. XK as a good kisser is a given lol.
Cinematography: this is one of the new dramas that I actually don't mind the CGI, and its hard to come by! The backdrop, setting, costumes (I still can't get over how gorgeous all of TXW's costumes are) are so beautifully filmed, it makes you feel like you're immersed in the world. The soundtrack is also fire.
Plot: while the story is rather unique, it does contain tons of Cdrama tropes: crazy 2ML, amnesia, misunderstanding etc. The story is enjoyable to follow, was it perfect? No, I do think they should've focused more on the ML instead of the crazy dalulu 2ML, and instead give more screen time to our CP especially after the misunderstanding and the divorce, it would've been more satisfying to see how they made up post conflict. While I agree the ending is a bit rushed, I am just happy its a happy ending. The way the final battle ended, it could've went either way but I'm glad director/screenwriter decided for a happy route.
All in all I really enjoyed this drama and it deserves a much higher rating as I've seen dramas that are 10x worse than this ends up with higher scores. Over I Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟
