Refreshing - A female centric story from a Man's POV
It is a nice drama, Good plot different and very unique from many other cdramas.
The Female centric story from a Man's POV isn't it quite refreshing?
Generally we see a Female centric story from a Women's perspective where we can understand their struggles, sympathise and understand why they have taken this or that decision. But here the Women have different problems from what we see usually, a Family run by women from many generations. These women are proud but value the heirarchy and know their family values or virtues.
They are very open minded women and personally I always think that if there really exists a matriarchial society in the world it would be somewhat like this as well.
Especially the FL Rong Shanbao, the heavy empahasis on her character being strong willed and super smart comes from her own experiances from childhood, though she was forced but she knew from her childhood what responsibilities lay on her hand watching her half broken and a lil gone astray family ( but the root cause of this entire chaos lies in the hand of her grandma). She knows what is happening, why it is happening, How it is happening and What will happen. She knows how to save herself and now her beloved the ML as well.
Now coming to ML, Lu Jiang Lai/ Lu Fusheng, he is initially shown as someone who is very just, knows how to solve cases and is super diligent and impartial. His intial standings tell us that he will never bend to his superiors and abides to the rules/laws set in the society. He will give justice and can never watch injustice happening in front of him. Though he is called stubborn cuz of this principle he follows he does know how to get what he wants without making himself fall in trouble. He is smart as well, but after all he is still a imperial officer and does his job well there is nothing more which drives him, no personal interest no back story whatsoever. He may have following textbook example and his learnings from his master. Coming to dealing persons in real life and family he is not trained in that, that's where he lacked.
The last 9-10 eps for his family's arc, I see that's where he showed his weakness, he never had a true family - was always bullied(Classic HMH storyline hehe.....idk even I love watching him being miserable) was looked down he shut his foster family up but his real family is another case, he was truly devastated and didn't know how to fight back. He was never emotianly down cuz of his love towards FL but due to his real family and their schemes. She always just supported him and tried to mingle in his family as only his wife but never ever meddled in his affairs and decisions until the end when there was no other option.
Idk why they had to make a ML more slow witted in the final arc or may be he was from the beggining cuz his filial piety never came in between in his schemes and job.
It is a very nice drama, if u would like to watch a real stromg Fl rather than a fake strong FL u should definitely watch it. Not only FL this drama has good amount of entertainment, mysterly and even the writers are smart and don't keep everything strainght and simple from the start they know how to engage viewers and make them think more and more. This was a good strategic drama.
Definitlely will rewatch again.
