What!! My green flag husband Ji Yuheng is playing a red flag villain lui Chang!! Never mind I will watch anything…
We need to applaud Miles for going out of his comfort zone to play this complex character! How every fan feels about this (contrast to his usual perfect characters) is going to be variable. I feel happy that he is expanding his range as an actor. I hope he is happy and satisfied performing this role and hope he gets more interesting projects! For me his acting as Liu Chang is spot on!
And many people keep putting all the blame onto LC, but he was forced to get married. FL married to save her mom,…
Some blogger analysed Liu Chang character - multiple factors contribute to his personality
From Liu Chang's perspective, he was born into an official family, a so-called wealthy family, but in fact, it has long been rotten and unable to make ends meet. He was taught from a young age that his status is more noble than others. This is the ideological imprint immersed in his mind. In fact, the entire society is like this. Although the Tang Dynasty was open, it was still divided into three religions and nine streams, high and low. This is the premise.
The first time cracks began to appear in his worldview when he fell in love with Li Youzhen and wanted to get married freely. However, he was rejected by the woman's father as their family was more noble than the Liu family. He pointed at Liu Chang's nose and said he were unworthy, and was dragged down in an undignified manner. This is discovering one's own class, position, tearing open the cracks in the simple world view and peeking into the malicious destiny behind the hierarchical society. In fact, this place has the advanced nature of free marriage and love, but it is a pity that he has been deprived of it.
The second time he is sold by the family to the He daughter. People are treated as goods exchange, he has begun to lose human dignity. In the way of livelihood, marriage is a downward compromise, in fact, he was angry with the parents. He himself has little to do with it, just swallowed his own pride to fulfill their obligations. He can't resist anyone, can't fight, but can only use the painless pretend cynical drunken cussing to resist retaliation, because there is no other way. He even realized the heroine's differences and abilities early on, so more intense envy and cynicism grows from it, the stronger the other party is, the more it reminds him of how bad he is, which boils down to his own incompetence and anger, perhaps on some level he envies the heroine's merchant's house, which would be a lot more free. The heroine can go to make a living as a merchant, but he can't do it even if he wants to, given his status. He even understands the independence and self-reliance of the heroine in the end.
The third time, when he finally reunites with his lover, he may have felt that the county magistrate had come to redeem him like a savior. He was still immersed in the joy of the reunion but did not enjoy it for long. He soon discovered that things were different, or he might have been deceived from the beginning and did not see the other person clearly. Therefore, the so-called final highest pursuit has also been shattered from the existential point of view.
After that, if love is forced, the more he looks at her, the more he will think about his failures and mistakes. It is inevitable for a son of an official to have lost face. He humiliates himself and others all the time. In fact, this person's personality has been almost destroyed by now. His life is broken, then he is isolated and abandoned, no one reorganises him..
The county leader's changeable human heart can be summed up in two words: snobbishness. In fact, the focus on profit by businessmen is the same as the pursuit of profit, and it is divorced from the core of integrity in traditional culture. Therefore, the county boss and the heroine and the hero are the same type of people. They know how to be flexible and harmonious, but the traditional concept advocates that they have a single-minded belief that they would rather die than give in.
Liu Chang cannot be simply summed up as a villain or a scumbag. The badness of this person is rooted, trapped in historical limitations, and a complex tragic character. It appears incomprehensible but the complete tragedy is embodied in many aspects.

I'm thinking about to watch this drama, but I'm not sure yet.Can someone please let me know, what this drama is…
It's a light musical historical comedy. I would echo with the review given by Breizh_o_viva above. I enjoyed it thoroughly for it's very "drama land" plotline, actors, music, stunning sets and costumes. It's a mediocre drama which is simple and entertaining without much fuss.
Cheerful drama. Happy ending (though a bit rushed!) A bit silly at the beginning (blame the director/script writer) and maybe couple of episodes in the middle drag a bit but nothing bad enough to stop watching. Music and visuals is A+ 7.5 is low rating. I rate a decent 8!

I can feel his helplessness! Victim of manipulative parents!
Miles acting is A + and his lines are really powerful and impressive!
In fact acting in this drama has been a highlight so far.
Enjoying 🌸🌸
