Such a waste
Good actors, great sets and mostly nice cinematography let down by an unbelievable storyline with responses to suit the story rather than common sense.
The highlight was watching the ML.
It was a bit too much to keep hearing the FL say she needs to buy more time for the ML on so many occasions. The point which I completely detached from this drama was an unrealistic costume and hairstyle change for the FL when they went to Beiyuan. One scene shows the ML telling the FL’s protector to look after her & change her clothes often as there’s a higher chance for the plaque since the war just ended. FL is unconscious at this stage. ML goes off to get the antidote and gets caught in an explosion. FL rushes to the scene in new clothes and an intricate hairdo that is riddled with braids and dangly bits… this happened within minutes? Just to have us see her at her best while she shows us her grief at “losing” the ML.
So unbelievable to know how the evil Empress managed to get to where she was and her motivation for doing the things she did. Why does she have so many loyal followers? Also a little bit creepy if you try to think about how and at what age the prince fell in love with her.
At least it was a happy ending. I was almost afraid they would follow the usual sacrifice route but instead they gave us big bright lights hahaha
