LOVE EVERY PART OF IT
I have such high standards when it comes to drama, especially the chemistry, plot, visuals, dynamic, and cinematography. This show exceeded my expectation. I am not familiar with any of the cast except for Tian Xiwei nor am I a historical cdrama watcher but the production really did their BIG ONE on this show. Everyone is so talented even the kids have a bright future in the industry.
I like how the show started at a great foundation of getting to know Fan Changyu/ her life in Lin'an then we get to see more of the Marquis/Xie Zheng/Yan Zheng going more into his life. The show basically highlight how both characters are merely living different lives yet their paths cross like it's destiny. Apart from romance, we see such a strong female lead, character development of the side characters, and the great balance of worry/relief about the future ahead. Overall, I can watch the main cast all day and their overflowing chemistry :)
Acting was great, It doesn't feel flat or cringe at all. The dialogues can be cheesy but this is what happens when it is based on the books so best to say their feelings out loud. These dialogue really is genuine and the actors/actresses really know their characters. Again, people can have their own opinions on this but I've watched far too many shows.
Casting 100% the best, I don't want to be too critical with the princess' acting but she is fairly new and could improve in her future works. The main villains (Sui brothers) their aura is crazy.
In terms of the story behind Changyu's parents, I feel like it wouldn't add much to the story as we are more focused on the main characters getting together and living a simple happily married couple soooo that's just my 2 cents. I can definitely rewatch the show without getting bored.
