Politics, Survival… and Wife-Obsessed Husbands
I started this drama because I kept seeing clips of the male lead, and honestly, he was the reason I hit play. He has such a refreshing personality compared to most C-drama male leads. He’s cute, funny, charming, and just so easy to love. Every scene he was in was entertaining.
This is also the first drama I’ve actually finished starring Meng Ziyi. I couldn’t finish Blossom because, for me, it didn’t have the same humour and fun that this drama had. This one kept me invested from beginning to end.
The female lead was such an interesting character. She was intelligent, calculating, and definitely not someone you could underestimate. At first, it was frustrating watching her not return the Crown Prince’s feelings, but as the story progressed, I really came to appreciate the slow-burn romance. I especially loved everything after their wedding. It was refreshing to see their relationship continue to grow instead of ending once they got together.
Even though the romance was great, at its core, it’s about politics, survival, power struggles, and outsmarting your enemies, with the romance woven naturally into the story.
Now, can we talk about the husbands? 😂 Every single man in this drama was ready to risk everything for his wife. Even the Second Prince, who was a cheater! I had zero expectations for him, but seeing him sacrifice himself for his wife genuinely surprised me. Then there’s the CEO of the “I Love My Wife Too Much” club, our Crown Prince. That man was absolutely down bad in the best way possible, and I loved every second of it. We also can’t forget the Fifth Prince and the sacrifice he made for the female lead. It was honestly so refreshing to see male characters who loved and respected their wives this much.
As someone who’s single and doesn’t even want to get married, dramas like this give me the most unrealistic expectations. 😂 They really make you believe wife-obsessed husbands are just walking around waiting to be found.
My only real complaint is the ending. Episodes 32–36 kind of lost me. We barely get to see the Crown Prince until the very end, and I’m still confused about how he came back to life. Maybe the novel explains it, but I’m way too lazy to read it. 😅 Hopefully someone in the reviews has an explanation because I’m still scratching my head.
Overall, I had a great time watching this drama. The chemistry between the leads was fantastic, the supporting cast was memorable, and the mix of politics, survival, humour, and romance made it a really enjoyable watch. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a historical drama with smart characters, plenty of twists, and one of the most lovable male leads I’ve seen in a long time.
