9.2? This is a comedy, not a serious drama. At least it tries to be funny, not really my taste. The characters are ridiculous and not well written, from the main leads, to the sadomasochist "villains" and ending with suicidal princess, the are all caricatures. I didn't find a single character that make at least a bit of sense, or that it has a relevant motivation to its actions. Even like that that they are inconsistent, and obviously nobody put any thought into writing them. Take the FL for example, even if she is uneducated, she is street smart and very perceptive, except when it came to the ML identity, where she is just clueless. This doesn't make sense. And that will not big a big thing, i always take this dramas with a lot of salt, because of the very poor writing. BUT, this is all that this show is about, about the FL not knowing about the ML identity, there is nothing else to the story, and this is keep repeating it over and over again, like 2/3 of the screen time, making it impossible to focus on anything else, and there is really nothing else. Also if you don't care about the story and you are in just for the romance (the reason 90% are watching these, anyway ... and you don't care if there is a story or not), the romance in this is just a joke, and there is no respect between the leads, both of them. So giving this 9.2? No other comment...
This is one of the strangest drama i've seen. It's like a big story is being told from the perspective of a minor character (the FL). She has very little impact to the unfolding of the main story and only function as the main love interest of one of the major character, the ML. The story would have had a lot more punch if it was told from the perspective of Su Tang Li, a much more important character in the story, and if the focus would had been on her revenge-ark, well that would had been my kind of story. But as it is, and how is being told, the story didn't manage to engage me in the least. Amnesia is also not the focus, but a plot device. The FL seem intelligent, perceptive, a mystery solver, yet completely uninterested in solving her own mystery and memory loss.
It is the romance with the ML, and the 'love triangle' (that's not not a love triangle, lol, since the FL is totally not emotionally invested in the SML not even 1%, which raise the question ... why is it there, then? Why waste so much story-telling and screen-time with something pointless?), that it is the main focus of the show and as a second focus is the female friendship and bounding around the FL. The actual story is not really the focus, don't you find this strange? It's like we have this big story about frame-up, destroyed family, daughter sold into slavery, solid revenge, which could be interesting if written well, but no, let's focus on some non-related characters and give those characters 90% of the screen time, because that would be ... better (!?)
Well, even this is better than xianxia, so why i'm complaining here? It just seem that these c-dramas really lacks decent script-writers, they have everything else, but the writing is essential. It doesn't matter that you have everything else, you cannot build anything good without an architect.
