one of BY's employee exactly said the same thing that was on my mind ML is a male version of Cinderella.Hats off to the two Fls .they are the best and they are also my favorite character of the drama
Blossoms in Adversity was really good but I am not very hopeful for this one as none of Hu Yi Tians modern drama performed well except for Go Go Squid 2
The conversation between Bi Zhi Gang and Bai Lan in ep8 really hits hard.because irl the situation is exactly like Bi Zhi Gang said most of the girl would go for people like Bi Zhi and I don't blame them as reality is really hard.
This drama really does a great job of showing the struggles of women in those eras. They actually showed why women were so keen on being virtuous and traditionally educated in those times, as their survival in society was tied to their in-laws .This is the only drama where they actually showed why women need to become self-sufficient and independent.In most of the periodical dramas, the fls become self independent for the sake of justifying the "strong independent woman" tag. Most of them are already the daughters or wives of some minister,general or rich individual. Their motivation towards becoming self independent doesn't really hit that hard.But this drama actually has a strong motivation for that, not just a side quest like every other dramas.Thats why I like this drama very much They showed real life situations and struggles of that era
