The female lead is absolutely stunning! I rarely hold female leads in high esteem, but Fu Yixiao is stunning and badass. Strong, capable, experienced, with a touch of gentleness and care. The male lead is powerfully written and played. Though he's pretty rough in the beginning, he's the best choice for fl. I don't like overly sweet and overprotective male leads; they often (but not always) make their ladies look weak and incapable sometimes (well, it's up to your own taste). Plot twists are not exactly 'plot twists'; too simple, in my opinion—still, 9/10.
On the other hand, without unnecessary breakups and deaths. Many dramas include such things to add angst and elicit viewers' sympathy, even though they don't really advance the storyline. Highly recommend this historical drama!
Waah, so many opinions here. :) I personally will watch this drama because I liked the trailer- looks like an interesting story, and I know that HMH is a great actor. I don't agree with those who ban this drama because of the age difference between AM and HMH. Do you consider their actual age difference in real life? Then, yes, he's 28 and she's 17. Are we going to watch their real-life romance? No, there's nothing like that, and so far, all has been proper during the filming. Will we watch this drama for Xiao Wuyi and Xie Jia Yu? Yes, they're the married couple in the drama. Do we know the age difference between these characters in the drama? NO, we don't know much about the drama except for some details from Chinese fans. It's not rational to mix real-life situations with imaginary drama worlds.
I watch historical dramas for their interesting plots, beautiful actors, and splendid costumes, not for kisses and hugs. I think it depends on your own tastes. If you want to be many kisses and hugs in the drama, look for other works. For example, HMH's recent drama ''Love in the Clouds'' offers a lot of love scenes. However, in my opinion, the plot was mediocre, with many clichés, and lacked eye-catching events. On the other hand, I watched Dilraba's drama, "Long Ballad," where she acted alongside a younger actor, Wu Lei. I love this drama for its plot and characters, and I never once thought about the actors' real ages. The storyline was mainly focused on politics, with no kisses at all, but it can still beat many many-kiss dramas by a mile. The same applies to dramas like "Blue Whisper, Love in Nirvana" and many others.
So, let's wait and see what the producing team shows. Added to the plans in the watchlist.
