Sweet romance drama with confusing storyline
Don’t get me wrong! I do love this drama a lot but objectively the storyline is quite confusing and all over the place. From the get go, you get bits and pieces of the political feuds internally, and hints about the 17 year old massacre cold case but yet they don’t provide enough context. I thought the hairpin given by FL’s mum would be some key to the past since it was so cherished. But nope, nothing of that sort, it was just a pin lol.
The weird political struggle between Li and Wei was confusing enough then comes in lord changxin, Sui brothers and then another Qi Min. It felt like they’re trying to inject some complicated yet lame political feud but didn’t have time to talk about it till the last few episodes where it was revealed that this whole drama stemmed from some lame comments prime minister wei said many years back. Then it led to a series of events thereafter.
BUT with the confusing political feuds aside, if you’re all about the fluffy sweet romance with main leads never changing their minds & hearts towards each other, no lame 3rd parties nor annoying misunderstandings, THIS is the drama to watch!
Also, the director probably love the main leads a lot. TXW is so cute and pretty inside and needless to say, this drama is probably the one that ZLH looks the best in, no dead angles all great angles. Such a treat to watch but I do wished we have gotten more action and fighting scenes from him since he’s supposed to be a marquis and great at fighting.
OST is good, costumes are great as well. You also get to see some redeeming points of supposedly villains like granny kang who sacrificed herself to save the FL’s sister and grandson during the massacre, Qi Min who sacrificed himself to save YQQ (however toxic he might have been) etc.
