Watch this from MDL 2024 Watch Challenge and also for Zhang Wan Yi & Wang Chu Ran. What a fun ride.
Story about Liu Mian Tang (MT) & Cui Jiu (CJ). Our story started when MT woke up from a coma, and she forgot everything in a period of time, the medical term is selective amnesia. MT forgot about the 3 years period of time, the last thing she remembers is that she’s going to marry a man named Cui Jiu. And as it happens, Zhao Quan called our ML as CJ, so MT just assumed he is her husband. But soon we found out, CJ is not MT's husband but Lord Huai Yang & he happened in the pursuit of a criminal & thinking that MT had connection to the criminal, so CJ just played along with MT and pretended to be her husband.
That’s the beginning of our ML & FL story. Yeah, it all starts with a lie. But as the story went forward, CJ started to have feelings for MT when CJ felt that MT really can understand him & his thoughts. And over time, MT also helped CJ when they went to war. Together they accomplish and do a lot of stuff together, making their feelings, especially CJ deeper and also build up a lot of guilt over time.
One day, MT’s memory returns, she remembers everything. And as it turns out, MT’s identity is not as simple as CJ thought at first. And that complicated their relationship & in the end they just separated. And that’s the first half of the drama….
Move forward to the next step. CJ & MT meet again. CJ still can’t forget MT & start pursuing MT again, this time to make her as his real wife. But CJ also had a greater love rival, which is the Emperor himself. So, how in the end this love trial moves….
While CJ, MT & the emperor had relationship problems, at the same time, they also had one common enemy. So apart from the love problem, we also start to dig deep into political schemes.
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The chemistry between Zhang Wan Yi & Wang Chu Ran. I like how CJ & MT have mutual understanding, respect and support for each other. It’s so funny to see how they easily & have no need for words when they need to role play that they fight with each other, but the truth is the opposite. Like when they tackle the critique when MT first comes to CJ home to greet the elder.
+ He Zhen (HZ) & Zhao Quan (ZQ), is one cute second couple. It’s something unpredictable but yet so predictable. Never expected they would go together, but after watching, yeah seeing how ZQ respects HZ, no wonder that HZ’s heart will melt for him.
+ Shi Xue Ji (XJ) is an amazing empress. She’s really fit for the role. Her tacit understanding of Zi Yu (ZY) is really admirable.
+ Mutual respect that is not that easy to gain. Hm… don’t know how to put it into + or -. But the way the writer wrote about mutual respect is more of something (+). Like, how MT in the end gains respect from CJ’s mother, or XJ & ZY, or HZ & ZQ, or ZY & CJ.
+ The way they plan to trap the bad guy. That's one pretty scheme
Overall this is one good drama. I think it’s been a long time since I really enjoyed watching dramas as much as this one & also many scenes of this made me laugh.
Below I'll write what I don't like, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
What I don't like:
- The political scheme is a little stupid & unclear sometimes. And the worst when ZY suddenly become the emperor. What happened to the queen mother and child emperor…?
- The confusing time stamp. Like when MT separated from CJ, how long it’s been. I first think it’s been a few years, cause it’s also happened the same time ZY became emperor. But the woman that gave birth, her child, is just a few months old. In my opinion that’s a little impossible to achieve. But yet like I wrote in the first point, the political scheme is a little stupid & unclear sometimes.
