I've already watched 13 episodes, but I have to highlight how much I admire Xiao Qiao's sharp insight, she has an incredible ability to understand and analyze people.
Do not read the below; if you don’t want to know spoilersThe drama so far roughly follows the book; in the book…
Wow! I haven’t read the novel, but from what you’ve described, it would be really tricky to portray WS that way in the drama adaptation, not just because of censorship issues, but also to maintain audience acceptance.
I hope the ML and FL are strategic and intelligent enough to see through the traps that will come their way, and I also hope that if any misunderstandings arise, they’ll be resolved quickly. I say this because I haven’t read the novel, so I pretty much have no idea what’s going to happen next.
Oh, take your time. and enjoy every second.The worst part of this drama is that you'll be craving for it year…
Hi, I’m back to say that I absolutely loved this drama! I thought it was amazing, and even with 40 episodes, the plot flowed incredibly well. My favorite moments are so many that it’s hard to list them all, but here we go:
(1) The interrogation scene; (2) All the scenes with dialogues or flirting between Duke Su and Fang Fei; (3) Ruo Yao’s coming-of-age ceremony; (4) The scene where they try to defame Fang Fei through the imperial fortune teller; (5) The scene of the first kiss (though the kiss itself doesn't appear, the scene is beautiful); (6) The Imperial Examination.
I've only watched 4 episodes so far, and I can already tell there's this intriguing atmosphere of a complex game between the Wei and Qiao families. Both protagonists are strategic, and they seem to have their goals firmly set. I'm really curious to see how this arranged marriage will unfold. Can't wait! <3
I only knew this drama by name and wasn’t familiar with the plot. I really enjoyed your review, especially since I don’t usually watch many Wuxia dramas, but I’m starting to take more interest in the genre.
Chen Zhe Yuan delivered an exceptional performance. I really enjoyed the interaction between the main leads, they had such amazing chemistry, it was a joy to watch. Did you cry during the last episodes? I cried my eyes out 😭 Even now, just thinking about it makes me tear up 😭
