The Best Period Drama I ever watched.
I watched this since the premises was really good and i want to explore more Yao Guanyu's work and it's my first time seeing He Lei acting and Turn out I love this drama. Because it's just not romance but it focused on FL and her mother relationship and FL entrepreneurship growth. The comedy was not too cheesy. It was perfect balance for every genres for Period Drama.
The plot logic is very reasonable. FL gradually understands her mother and teaches the original mother from past and sister to resist loving her. Even though the FL knows the bad consequence will happen to her that day, she has a reason to go out. In the end, the FL's wish to return to her mother's side is fulfilled. All of these things are not accomplished by a few superficial words, but are actually driven by the plot. This is true feminist drama in short drama-emphasizes judging actions based on ability, not gender.
FL is truly intelligent and self-reliant heroine. Many times when she encountered bad guys, I thought the ML was about to appear, but she always solved the problem with her own. He Lei proves her natural acting in this drama. Her economic thinking are biggest help to survive in 1980's.
Yao Guanyu was well-cast and acted perfectly. He contributed 80% of the comedic moments in the show so this drama is not too serious since they bring heavy topic. His screentime was not too much but he makes impact. ML's marriage proposal gives the FL confidence, and the couple are incredibly sweet.
The makeup is so natural and light. But I liked Yao Guanyu's floral shirt, slicked-back hair, and bell-bottoms, he perfectly captures the unruly and resilient spirit of a rebel kids in 80's
The cons are the duration are too long around 4 hours 20 minutes so I need to make watch instalment. There are too many distressing family scenes especially come from FL's dad and annoying chatter from uncles and aunts. I feel bad for ML in the end and last part really feels poorly written.
Recommended to watch and it was the best period drama.
