Bijou

I watched this today and it feels kind letdown in half of drama. I quite like Zeng Yitong styling while Jin Luying beauty was hidden since MUA and stylist in this drama has a bad day when they did her makeup and costume. Both leads are delivers their character well but the problem is about the lack of ML screentime and luckily FL was not too stupid like other version.

This version seems has more change on ML's character has been changed. He didn't treat the FL badly in her previous life; she just misunderstood him. ML doesn't pursue F too much; FL marries him even in second life. The latter half mainly focuses on the power struggle between the two princes. Unfortunately, the screenwriter's skills are limited, and the last 30 episodes are very drawn out, with various melodramatic plots pieced together. The drugging scene is repeated three times, and the villain's ineffective attempts to appear are very clichéd palace intrigue tropes, making it very dull.

ML is more of a supporting character, while the SFL is a constant presence throughout the entire series, with more screen time than the ML. She appears in almost every episode, which is both annoying and noisy.

Still decent watch.
