BoP was better than I thought
This drama had me coming back for more. He held my attention to the end. The storyline was reformulated but still good. There were so many intertwined stories that came together at the end.
I enjoyed BOP mainly due to He Yu, the ML who was also in "Speed and Love" with Easter Yu. His portrayal of a weak, frail prince due to being poisoned at the age of 4, then transforming into the mysterious hero with top notch fighting skills was thrilling to watch. You can't help but fall in love with him in this role. Another great performance under his belt.
I 'm not a fan of Meng Ziyi, and she did not disappoint. She continued with her same stoic, one-dimensional character just like in "The Untamed" and the other drama she stars in. She needs to be more versatile in her acting. Her love scenes were one of the worse that I have ever seen. Her kisses are like a mannequin, no movement or passion. The ML had to do all the work she just stood there with her head tilted, lips frozen and no emotion. It was like watching someone pour tea.
On a positive note, I have to hand it to Meng in her husband's death scene she really delivered, that had me bawling. The other touching scene was the ML's bodyguard, when he receives the box with the handkerchief. Very touching. Xiao Chang Qing / Prince Xin 5 who knew she carried his dead wife's spirit really played his role as a broken, possessive, obsessed man that did the ultimate sacrifice for her.
There were a lot of male eye candy. like Lai Wei Ming who starred in "Shine on me" in a supporting role. He was also the jilted love interested to the FL. He played that same role in BoP. They should cast him as the lead more; he has the depth and skills to carry it off.
I was so happy they added Special episode 37. I just wished they would have explained how the ML got out of the coffin and why his physician looked like he had one foot in the grave after his 4yr treatment.
