Captivating, very watchable beginning.
I started watching this because it was so hated on Viki for the content, but the reviews seemed unfair and not to take enough into account.
These first two episodes were very well made. The way the story is set up is very engaging, watchable, and interesting. Everything is perfectly timed; the music is evocative and makes you relax and take the story in; the acting is at a high level - especially the boy from the village. The soon-to-be ex-husband, although a small part, is very good. The contrast between the village and the city is clearly made. The beginning of this episode is affecting - the weight of unsaid things and the past is heavy between Li Wu and Cen Ji.
These episodes show a high calibre production. Low ratings can only be for the promised future content of their relationship.
This site requires a 'rewatch value'. I don't rewatch, as a rule, so my rating for this will always be low - unless it's something I love that is clearly rewatchable.
