Fascinated by poster, enchanted by traditional art & culture
I ak extremely delighted that this drama has its own MDL page. Thank you approver! I was browsing the new releases at my usual vertical Cdrama website and found this poster. Such a captivating imagery! Will researching on this drama for New Title submission, I came across few articles. I will share links about this drama in the comments section. Anyway I decided to watch this drama yesterday - I enjoyed it immensely.
What I liked:
1. Culture - This drama features the culture of Yi ethnic group. I love the embroidery work and the bold motifs showcased in this drama. Beautiful! The art reminds me of Kadazan & Iban ethic groups in my home country, Malaysia.
2. FL characterisation - She's quiet but not meek. Very determined to showcase her art and culture through her work as a fashion designer. Even though she made questionable choices, I think that's part of her character's growth. This is my first time watching Zhang Li Qing and I really liked her portrayal of Ayimo.
3. ML characterisation - I liked his arc, from a child to the successful man he had become. His character experienced some growth as well. Serlacong is the name of the actor. He is handsome, tall and lean plus charming even though he seemed inexperienced.
4. Romance - Sweet romance with ML pining over FL. I understand FL's hesitation even when there were times I was frustrated by the development of their relationship. Nevertheless ML's love confession was heartfelt and beautifully shot.
5. Supporting characters - ML's assistant was awesome! I also liked FL's biological family. Bro was pint sized adorable.
6. Ending - Gorgeous. My eyes were teary because I was very moved by the scene.
7. Pacing - This drama is less than 1 hour 15 minutes and well-paced.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - FL's ex and his family were atrocious but were given a good arc. It's rare to see antagonist reflecting after receiving retribution. The other antagonist, the guy with Lisa, got me confused. I didn't understand his beef with ML. Maybe I didn't pay attention.
Favourite scene
ML's love confession
