Title The First Jasmine
I know the romance at the end felt a little lackluster even though they clearly love one another, but overall I really enjoyed this show! It's so rare to see a historical drama treat any kind of disability nevermind mental AND physical at the same time, appropriately or with respect. It was so refreshing that no one made fun of ye li for being traumatized or having hallucinations and though MXY of course faced ridicule due to the plot by the bad guys, for the context and the time available, his healing and learning to walk again was well done. I also loved the focus on accessibility in his home and when he would go places, I don't think I've seen a ramp before! If you're looking for something a little more understated and slice of life this is a great show for you.
