I’ve hardly watched any dramas starring Tan Songyun, but I’ve watched almost every period drama of Liu Xueyi, so honestly, I started this drama because of him. I came across the trailer about three weeks before the show aired, and I was completely awestruck by it. Little did I know that by the end, I would become such a fan of Tan Songyun’s character.
If you want to watch what women could do during the period times, this is definitely the drama for you. The female lead surprised me at every turning point. The way she handles every situation with such intelligence and calmness is honestly impressive.
Despite being a slave, her character never lets her circumstances define her. She constantly inspires you to work on yourself, never put yourself down, stand up for yourself, and, more importantly, stand up for others. There’s something really empowering about watching her grow and find her strength despite everything she has to face.
Since the drama has multiple characters and storylines, there’s always something happening to keep you hooked. I actually found myself waiting for the next episode every single day.
What makes this drama even more special for me is that it shows the lives of ordinary people during that period, rather than focusing only on nobles and the wealthy. Every episode brings something new to the storyline, and that keeps the drama interesting throughout.
I started this drama for Liu Xueyi, but I ended up staying for Tan Songyun’s character—and honestly, I’m not complaining. ❤️
