I can't stand it !!!
I can tolerate even if the plot is boring, and I can tolerate even if the actors' acting is not very good, but what I can't tolerate the most is the dubbing.I can't concentrate because the dubbing voices and the actors' lips don't match.
I feel like I'm watching fake acting. The person who really acts in this drama is the person who does the dubbing.

First Impression.
First impression (8 episodes in..) I have just started in on this series of 40 episodes.Initial set up for cdrama historical detective court love story.
I do find the first few episodes a bit long in establishing the charaters nad trying to keep track of all the parties for future reference will be challenging. I am eager to see hoe much then continue to uncover of the childhood connections with each episode. I feel it would be sweeter to see more of why the FL is so open minded and trusting towards the ML.
Ryan Ding has matured so much into this charater, I Love it. Cant wait to see more of his signature facial geestures.

another low quality writing
CDramaa just keeps on spouting crappy production one after another. The writing of the main FL is trash. As a young lady in ancient times, to be able to secure a position in a government office, no matter how small, should be smart and capable right? But she kept on spouting idiotic dialogue. In ancient time, going against high ranking official is punishable by death, not only that, she even dare to question Empress Dowager edict, that'll get your whole family exterminated. Lost interest immediately after this scene, the writer can't even get that very basic knowledge. Not going to waste my time... Not the actors fault by the way, I just can't stand watching crappy writing.Was this review helpful to you?
The Battle of the Brained Titans
‘Melody of Golden Age’ (2024) Mystery RomanceI am excited about the new Chinese Costume Drama Melody of Golden Age. There is much attention to cinematic details in this Chinese drama, like camera angles, film and cinematography quality, and scene composition. All this is to raise the drama suspense level. The drama’s opening minutes are so eye catching.
Strong cold male with high intelligence battles with focused and fearless intelligent female.
Shen Du (Ding Yu Xi) is an illegitimate son whose intelligence and keen observation skills allows him to solve crimes easily. This has gotten him promoted to Great Chief of the Internal Imperial Guard Office. He is an expert archer with a full life and it does not have room for romance. Consequently, when the Queen keeps trying to marry him off, he scares the wits out of the prospective brides and they call off the engagement. Yan Xing is from nobility and daughter of a Concubine, but she is a trailblazer. She is the Sixth Miss of the Yan Clan. Yan Xing is a woman who takes advantage of a program advanced by the Queen. Woman are being selected for a male dominate position of Clerk of the Ministry of Justice, an investigative bureau.
The sister of Yan Xing is selected to be the next victim bride of Shen Du. When the sister runs off, Yan Xing steps in to protect the family name and becomes the bride candidate. Shen Du soon tries his old tricks again, but Yan Xing is intelligent and bold enough to call his bluff. The situation reduces to The Battle of the Brained Titans. These two learn to coexist and become a crime solving team.
Melody of Golden Age is adapted from the Webnovel ‘Chang A Tong Que Ming’, written by Feng Huang Xi. I think that Melody of Golden Age should be added to your Chinese Drama View List.
Actors
Acting since 2017, Ding Yu Xi made a big splash in the 2020 Chinese Drama hit ‘Romance of Tiger and Rose”, my first meeting with him. Ding Yu Xi has a magnetism about him. You don’t easily forget his bravado. Ding Yu Xi has “cold male” down to a science. Since 2020, Ding Yu Xi began to carve his niche in Period Dramas. His bravado works so well with this genre. Ding Yu Xi has appeared in nine Chinese Dramas since 2020, with seven dramas being costume dramas. Ding Yu Xi is shooting up the A-List meter fast.
Chinese actress Ancy Deng is a new comer too. She started acting in 2017 as well. Her status is a slow climb, landing guest, support, and main roles. Flourish in Time (2021) was a hit for Andy Deng. Melody of Golden Age (2024) is a hit for her thus far.
Interesting Note: Ding Yu Xi is a Guy’s Guy who bites his nails. He has football fingers. I find it interesting in the opening scene, a male hand model with delicate hands is used for this pivotal scene for the close up of the fingers strumming a bow. I saw his hands in Romance of Tiger and Rose.

C-dramaland is really underwhelming this year
The acting was a joke (the FL, her mother ..etc i can't stand their acting), even if i usually like the ML (not in this drama obviously!) i just couldn't get into his character.The production was very very poor, like how come the dogs have a collar !? at that time??? if your are making a period drama , please do make a period drama. Didn't the bodies the FL examinated stink ? then why wasn't she hinting at it, acting like those were fresh bodies....I mean make it make sense PLEASE!
After going painfully through 5 episodes, i gracefully decided to show myself some mercy and quit watching this show.
I don't recommend it.

Sangat berharap ada kelanjutan dari drama ini, karena mungkin akan sulit menemukan drama yang sebagus ini dengan vibes yang sama. Aku juga sangat berharap ding yuxi dan deng enxi bisa bekerja sama lagi di drama lain.
