oh my peony!
I was hesitant to watch this drama at first as I didn’t have a good experience watching the FL previously. I found her kind of screamy and high-pitched and she wasn’t on my “let’s watch” list. Nonetheless, I like the ML and the reviews which I read said that this drama was good and thus, I decided to give it a go. 🙌🏼🙂
What I Liked:
- The ML was good.
- I liked some members of the supporting cast such as Chuan Yu. The emperor was a good one too. He was a very balanced emperor and not like the unhinged and power hungry ones in other dramas. The female supporting cast of nice women, such as Da Fu and her mother, made me happy.
- The storyline was very watchable.
- I like the romance between FL and ML.
- FL was rising like TRON. She became successful and whenever, she was trampled on by others and by life, she never gave up. She, being witty and resilient, kept on going and kept on doing what she desired.
- The ML supported the FL and considered her an equal and that she had value. He never looked down on her. Rather, he was proud of her and her wit and her strength to overcome adversities.
What I Didn’t Like:
- Awful misogyny.
- The second ML was all sorts of crazy and the second FL was alsl all sorts of crazy. Very hard to watch.
- The hateful in-laws of the FL. They were despicable and detestable.
- The hateful King Ning.
- How people, namely women and servants, were taken as dispensable.
- Wu Niang’s most atrocious husband and worse, her stupidity.
Overall, I like this drama enough to give it 9/10. 🙂
