This is looking so fabulous and interesting. However, the casting of the ML, I mean excuse me. Did they run out of every single guy who could have pulled this off with such panache? This actor cannot act at all. Have seen many actors who may not be that suitable for a role, but this actor is absolutely so DUH.
if I end up dropping this drama, it will be because of this ML. I cannot take one more frame of him showing up. If she is like this gorgeous Mahogany pillar, he is like a small paper cone next to her.
this powerful actress portraying a powerful woman needed a powerful actor to be her foil. I have no idea how this poor actress got pulled into playing next to him.
Uff I was so set up to enjoy this drama. Looked SOLID.. And then it began to grate..
🙈
I think I am in the thrall of two stellar Period dramas : - Royal Nirvana (all 60+12 eps) watched twice immediate back to back - Joy of Peaceful Serendipity (bowled over by the tremendous acting - sets - directing - character portrayal through evocative directing).
This could have risen to great heights with a better cast and director..
😭😭
I just failed to find another MEATY historical like the two I mentioned. I lapped those two EVEN touched they both had SUCH POOR quality subbing - ufff!!! Missed all the poetry and texts.. And got so much gender address wrong. Plus the awful grammar.. Had to keep inferring as well as using Google Translate - inspite of that I was riveted.
Trying to get those two on Viki by suggesting it. Youku and YouTube is so poorly translated.
I love the historical part of this drama. Interesting to watch but disappointed in the poor editing which made…
😓

I know this is entirely personal preference and isn't anything against anyone's abilities, but the reason I had…
Goodness!!!
I am feeling that too.
What an excellent script story, production budget. And what a waste to have cast a strong actress, who is not being directed well at all.
The ML is truly so uninspiring and boring. He has no spunk, and I feel terrible saying this, but there’s absolutely nothing attractive about him, either the director or the cinematographer or costume, and makeup person couldn’t draw out his character as someone the audience would be able to rise up to cheer for, have their emotions bubbling over. Just not an engaging enough actor either; sometimes a fantastic acting completely Subdues whatever be their features or physical looks. (of course, attractiveness lies in the eyes of the beholder, I will admit).
Thinking further - even the OST is unimpressive .. Basically poignancy is missing in the acting and directing department.
Some sauce .. without making it cheap or selling out in terms of an intelligent way to tell the story, visually, not so much by dialogue.

Looks like you wrapped the 60 and enjoyed it .
Wrlcome to club.
Hope the balance 12 blow you away ❤️
Somewhere the director IMO failed to breathe life and blood into the characters ..
Not as fantastic a director - actor combo as in
- Joy of Peaceful Serenity
- Royal Nirvana
Lucky those who dug this actor.
I feel cheated 😭😭

Lucky you.
Would have slurped up this drama if I could only have been hooked by the Lead Actor.

I was wondering if I should go on?
So refreshing : was getting jaded by the same ol stuff.
Once you are 500 dramas down in 5 years you kind of crave some True Class and meat 😂😂
This one looks great

What a novel setting.
Fingers crossed that if does not disappoint.
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love : he drew more eyes possibly than the main leads 🤪
Double : slayed it
Delicacies Destiny : what comic timing - kisses
Perfect Match : LOL.. Totally heart- eyes for FL inspite of being rebuffed
