Do parents in thailand really marry daughters to their rapist? I'm beginning to fear there is some truth in it.…
It's a sad reality in some asean countries. The shame of their daughter not being 'pure' anymore so they marry off their daughters to their rapist. But that being said, I think nowadays more people are having the awareness how wrong it is and thus comdemn the action.
Gosh. Where should I start. I have a love hate relationship with this drama.
Lemme start with what I hate first: - The drag plot of Aim and her ex husband. I thib that they wasted too much on this plot and thus cause a late start between Aim's and Min's relationship. - Aim's temper. She's so hot headed and impulsive that makes it unbearable for me to synpathise with her at first. I like her character after her divorce. She mellowed down. - Nim's evilness. Gosh this girl. Too psycho and disturbed.
What I love: - The chemistry between Bella and Pope is undeniable. They are the sole purpose why I watch this drama as I really miss them from Bpoop Paeh Saniwaat (BPS). The romantic scenes between them here were just soooooooo sweet! - Min's character. He's calm and smart (thought sometimes too nice to Nim. Was actually hoping he slap the sense out Nim.) - The side characters. Aim has good friends who always got her back. They really make this drama interesting. - Romance between Nat and Mintra. Was kinda disappointed that we couldn't get more of them flirting around.
So, should you watch this? If you are a Pope and Bella's fan and need more of them after BPS, then this drama is for you. You wont be disappointed as their romantic scenes here are just to die for.
Some guide: Episode 1-8 = more on the process of Aim's divorce and fighting against her in laws. Lotsa skip on my part. Episode 9-14 = The romance between Aim and Min are pentiful here. I was giggling like a school girl. Episode 15 - 16 = My least favourite part of the drama. But A+ for Pope's acting here. Episode 17 = A good wrap up for everything. Kinda satisfying for me.
I was wishing more of them actually. Was disappointed that we couldn't get more of their scenes. Can't they make special clips on just the two of them? Haha.
This drama is one of my favourite! Mainly because of the relationship between Awu and Xiao Qi. They trust each other so much, despite the many people lusting over Awu, to the point it's ridiculous sometimes. (Yes. I mean you, Song. Like seriously! )
Yes, this drama has a few weaknesses. I personally was annoyed on how limited Awu and Xiao Qi's scenes were. I wanted more of them, and less on the politics. But of course, even with the first few episodes you can tell that this drama's main focus is more on politics, with the nobels talking about the Wang and Fei family.
I don't know mandarin, but I prefer if the title to be changed as The Rebel's Princess instead of The Rebel Princess, mainly because it was Xiao Qi who did rebel a little bit towards the end in seeking justice for the mistreatment that he and his soldiers suffered. Awu was more as Xiao Qi's backbone than the rebel herself. The title was a bit misleading. Like some, I was expecting that Awu would reflect the title, but ended up a bit disappointed.
The OST was superb. I looooove it. Everytime I listen to the OST, I would remember the scene where Awu ran to Xiao Qi when he came to save her the second time. That scene was epic!
So in short, I really like this drama a lot. The chemistry between the leads were great, the acting by the actors and actresses were great, the plot was strong (despite being heavy on the politic), and most importantly, I was given HEA ending.
Awu and Xiao Qi definitely become one of my all time favourite historical dramas couple.
