Short, sharp, and surprisingly progressive—plus chemistry you can microwave
This drama would be the story of LI Tong Guang and Ren Ru Yi (from A Journey to Love) if Ruyi returned Tong Guang’s affections. But Chu Ning Yuan is not as obsessive as Li Tong Guang, which is a blessing. The willingness of the Seventh Prince to be subservient to a maid is unexpected in a historical Chinese drama, and this unusual dynamic encourages other maids to challenge traditional roles and speak their minds. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. To promote female empowerment, let’s assume that this is an improvement and that social class distinctions are solely based on positions.
Plotwise, it’s as straightforward as it gets. Shen Yan wants revenge and helps the Prince along the way. Female badassery at its finest for a short drama. Acting wise, they are both decent, but when paired together, their chemistry is chemistrying. Looking forward to their other works together!
