CHEN ZHEYUAN WILL SWOON YOUR HEART AWAY!!
I am not a big fan of historical/costume dramas but now I feel, if there is CZY's presence then I can watch it with the same enthusiasm as I watch the Modern dramas! No but I won't give my review being partial towards this fact.
Earlier I have watched only one historical drama that was Handsome Siblings, it was long and had so many heavy and difficult scenes to watch, but my sole reason to watch the drama was CZY, and he made it all worth it! The drama turned out to be the most favourite drama of mine, just not because of CZY but also for its storyline.
The Princess and the werewolf is like a breath of fresh air.. It truly stands out, considering all it's factors - Love, Friendship, companionship, Brotherhood, Music, Costumes, Comic timing, Character developments, story development. All the ingredients to make a drama entertaining and successful is there in it.
let me jot down some very much plus points (as there are many)
1. ofcourse, CZY as Kui Mulang, Oh my god this Lad has done soo good in this drama, the way his versatility is utilised is par excellence! one moment he is scary but caring king Kui Mulang, the other moment he is as soft and cute as rabbit being Li Xiong. Not to forget his disguise as a girl in Ep. 5. I can rewatch every second of his screej presence again and again and again!
2. Wu Xuan Yi as princess Qi Pa did great great job, I actually didn't expected her to be so good after watching her in Sweet Teeth, but hear, this lady has literally proved herself to be the best in her role
3. The other casts - Hong Xiu, Lui Jun, Hu Die, Ma Yinxiong (The bestest of best this guy is) , Chun Er and Bie Ke did extremely well and we can't help but fall in love with their characters and their respective chemistries with the Main leads.
4. OST - Superb osts sounds like this, what realistic and relatable lyrics have they put can just blow my mind away! Simply, amazing!
5. The touch of modern world in the historical drama surely makes you connect and content with the drama.
6. Costumes - Though majority of cast is seen in the same outfit throughout the drama but the designs were just on point. The way kui mulang's black robe gives goosebumps is pure bliss, not to forget Qi pa's gowns which I literally want to steal!
7. A special appreciation to CZY, his team and his make up artists for giving us the best look of kui mulang and keeping up with the 4 hours of time to put on his make up!
Some little minus points of the drama which can be easily ignored
1. The dragginess with Qi Pa's tricks surely can itch you in middle part of the drama.
2. The casting of Su He, the girl portraying Su He seem not at all scary but in fact dull and dum.
3. More than required screen space of Jing Muhan, Earthworm and Haitang.
All those who have not yet tried watching historical dramas and want to give a try, then this drama is for them! And I know many of the CZY fans who are new to our madness(😅) are stalking for more of his dramas after watching Hidden love, then they should really give this drama a try and CZY won't disappoint you!
