A tragically beautiful love story
After being put on my "To-Watch" list on Netflix for too long, I finally delved into watching this drama series. I have already been warned of the no happy ending of this drama. Personally, sad endings are fine with me. Sometimes it's what makes a drama stay with you for a long time and being etched in your memory while happy endings are usually just fade away with time. This is also my first time watching any drama starring both of the main leads, Chen Xing Xu and Peng and their chemistry here is through the roof! In fact, I think the best part about this drama is actually their acting. I thought they suit their character and played the part so well. Chen Xing Xu played a really complex character and you can see the happiness and pain that he experienced from his expression. I enjoyed the two leads' bickering once they are married. Qu Xiao Feng is not your typical princess or queen in a Chinese drama. She is strong, carefree, doesn't really conform to the norm observed by most traditional princess in any kingdom. But I like her. She is different. Although this drama has a long 52 episodes, I found that I only skip or no-focus watch for very little of it. Mostly involving the unimportant side characters and the political story and the feud between Gao and Zhao family. That, to me is not very interesting. Oh and I loathed the Zhao Se Se character, although i should sympathize with her but she just gets on my nerves :)
Overall, I really enjoyed watching this drama and will definitely rewatch it in the future.
