ML/ FL live lonely obedient life , until they saw something worth living for and dying for.Love
Chemistry between ML & FL - wow. It escalates, episodes 15-17 are such a cute rewatch.
You can really feel two wise characters who had to develop cunning personalities to survive cruel world they live in. Fighting against suppressing surrounding, and growing feelings that will lead them into love that is a danger for both of their lives. I love it when she tries to take his notorious double blade sword from him, and she then plays timid. And he says: "You are the only one who ever tried to take it from me.." There are many rewatch worthy, quote worthy moments. And in episode 16 you finally get to see unveiling of their true feeling, and freedom that comes from being who you are, and lovering your guard.
I don't understand background/culture/politics/ private life of actors, and I see there's a lot of controversy. in the comment section. And i think that is what affected such a low rating. But for me who don't know much about the cast, and politics, all I see is two people each with their own agenda, smart, capable, ML dangerous, FL witty, playing along the rules, to survive.... He didn't have ambitions to usurp the throne, although he had every capacity, smarts and ability to do so. She didn't want power, although she could have become empress, the most noble woman in the world.
Both of them in their lonely obedient life , until they saw something worth living for and dying for. Love.
Then suddenly they start rejecting anything power could give, for simple life of love.
The ending is so perfect. So metaphorical.
Also, if you love Wang He Di, he just shines in this one. He is brilliant in this dual character, the most dangerous person of empire, then loosing his ratio and taking risks that will keep you on your toes.
First half is enemies to lovers.
Second half is seeing super smart person escaping death every second. For love.
