Drama with amazing characters and interactions
Even supporting characters are all amazing! ML and FL have interactions with supporting characters that will be so interesting to follow. They will go through development, not just serious of conversations. All cast is amazing, and they really each have a unique contribution you will like them for. The good thing, there is no actual villain, just many desinformed people, navigating their way through confusion, forgiveness, personal growth into a better character. Actually there is one villain, but almost irrelevant to the main plot.
ML - Wu Lei is magnificent as always. He delivers an amazing character once again, and he is so good at these powerful, skilled men roles, and on the other hand he can be so gentle with the FL- even without the kiss, just the body language and eyes he can make you feel chemistry.
FL - this is in my opinion shortcoming of this drama, to boyish, and there are many good dramas with boyish FL, but she rejected ML to many times, and when she accepted him, it was so meh as if she was just kind, no love in her eyes or body language whatsoever. Maybe it is poorly written FL. For me, she was kind and genuine, and skilled, but lacked to recognise logic. There are several things she did that are complete dumbass move, and ML warned her about it, but trying to be independent she was stupid. And instead of apologising and fixing as the real hero would, she went into pitty mode.
Emperor - the first time in C drama that emperor is kinda hot. Righteous, and has something.
Hao Du - the way love transformed him, for me they were the lead couple. And from the "villain" start to genuine kind guy, so cool.
Yong An - the way life and situations transformed her, also her growth in every sense, professionally and as a person.
Du Ru Hui - not your typical boring righteous minister. He has heart
Brother Shuyu - is so perfectly miserable in love, but has dignity, not one of those pitiful or villain second ML. Although with the FL as she is, he would be a better fit.
Some boring characters - Mimi, Kathun, they are a drag. Princess Tujia, too much time screen time on irrelevant character that has insignificant effect on the main plot. Without the character you wouldn't miss anything in the plot.
