My First C-Drama and OMG
I was dragged into the world of C-drama against my will because I typically hate reading subtitles. That being said after the first five minutes I was hooked. I love the Chemistry between Zhang Linghe and Tian. She did not at all get enough flowers for her performance in this because his character is so grandiose. She totally held her own. She is amazing and adorable, however. MY FAVORITE CHARACTER WAS CHANGNING!! SHE IS A DOLL BABY!!
This story surrounds the Marquis of Wu'an a general found hanging on to life by a thread by our heroine Female lead - Fan Changyu. It tells the story of their love, the battlefield, family and resilience.
Our FL (female leaad) is not only ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. she extremely strong, but she has a kind heart and good taste in men. Although throughout the story there are about what seems like a jillion men who seem to fall for her. Totally understandable though. Through her ventures she meets a best friend, a group of rowdy tag a longs that become family, the HOTTEST husband in C-Drama history (at this point because again it was the first one that I've ever watched. )
The trials and tribulations that they go through begin in Xigu Lane, follow them to Li'nan and then onto the battle field. Through cunning, wit, they survive the toughtest moments.
You should really look up the uncut scene in episode 38. I wasn't a huge fan of how it ended. I wish there was more.
There was a lot of court scenes that I didn't care for, but they are crucial to the background of the story. Also, can we talk about the level of fine men they stocked within this show? I mean DANG!!! Even Chancellor Wei! Amen!!!
All of this to say I am now watching this whole series for a 3rd time, however this time my husband and son are both totally into it and watch a few episodes a night with me. I know a log of women watch this for the absolutely beautiful men in this show; but the storyline is enough to engage everyone. Also the war scenes are phenomenal. It's not overdone. It is simply cinematic genius.
