Refreshing story of reborn FL vs transmigrated modern antagonist. Great acting!
It was the last Saturday of 2025 and I felt like watching Sa Gang Yun drama. I noticed that he had done 2 or 3 costume dramas and I got curious so I played this drama on iQIYI. I LOVE IT! A refreshing story of reborn FL vs modern transmigrated antagonist.
What I liked:
1. Acting - Ju Ke Er had a tremendous screen presence. I was captivated by her aura from the very firat scene. Sa Gang Yun was wonderful too as an emperor - he had a commanding presence. There was sizzling chemistry between them two.
2. Values - Antagonist was a modern woman transmigrated to this historical era. It was fascinating to see a character who impossed her supposedly progressing values onto others. I enjoyed the different perspectives aka counterattacks by FL. The lesson on traditional Chinese wedding gown was priceless.
3. Styling - Beautiful outfits worn by FL. The silk embroidery on her gown - gorgeous! I found it amusing that Sa Gang Yun put on fake mustache & beard.
4. FL characterisation - She outsmarted the modern girl. Lesson learned from past life - when given second chance, she was prepared to bring down her half sister & the Crown Prince.
5. Romance - Slow but sultry seduction. FL was smart to make ML want her. High sexual tension resulted in fiery kisses. Wish there were more scenes.
6. Poetry slam - The verbal sparring was delightful battle of the wits.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - Qing Qing was vain & snobbish. She was a fake champion of equality. I was annoyed that she got away with her antics without big punishment.
2. Ending - What the hell was that???
Favourite scene
When ML succumbed to temptation 🔥
