As a Chinese, never have I watched a c-drama which requires me to depend on the subtitles as much as this drama does... the expressions used are so complicated...
If anyone is interested, here are some historical dramas that are relatively less painful to sit through: Young Blood Fake Princess The Story of Ming Lan (might be a bit slow for some)
20 episodes in and FL's identity is still unknown to ML and Lei Zi Xin... also, there is absolutely no chemistry between the ML and FL? I rather ship Yu Le Xuan and FL...
I am currently at ep 5 and I find the second male lead and the second female lead so annoying. First, about Zhi Han, he attempted to steal and his parents just let him off and even gave him more money??? He also never took his subordinates' advice/comments seriously. He is so obsessed with his dreams that he seems so detached from reality. Yet, the drama is painting him in good light (so far). Second, about Sheng Xia, why can't she follow simple instructions such as no filming in galleries / at events?
Young Blood
Fake Princess
The Story of Ming Lan (might be a bit slow for some)
