The first ML definitely gets better
I'm in love with this drama and everyone has praised them as the actual should. The only problem I have is the comparisons between the first and second leads. I've heard so many people say they don't like the first leads, that they have less chemistry and I'm honestly surprised if we watched the same thing or if they even watched till the end.
1. People should put away Zhang linghe's character in story of kunning palace to be able to enjoy his character here.
2. People always want good character development until it's actually good. This was not one of the series where the frivolous man suddenly turned to be the leader of some underground information collecting system. No, Gong Zi Yu works hard for his position and undergoes such development till I rooted for him every step of the way. But in everything he was still kind hearted, loving and sincere towards everyone. He was so clever too and was definitely not stupid at all no matter what other people said. Everytime he made his arguments I was so stunned.. it's just that the author made it so that the opposing side had an answer for each of his arguments. If it were another drama , he would have been praised.
3. People saying the chemistry of the second leads were better? Honestly I didn't feel it at all..the chemistry of the first leads did it for me. The sincerity, love and sacrifices both made for each other.Gong Zi Yu was literally protecting Yun Weishan with his life. They truly loved each other and gave me butterflies when on screen.
4. As for the second leads, the only smudge of chemistry I felt was from Shang jue. Maybe it was became Qian was lying and scheming so much I was literally detached from her. I couldn't feel sincerity or love from her at all... Even her tears never moved me because I felt it was all fake. Out of all characters, no matter what other people say, she's the one who the audience knows nothing about because even if she gives her story everyone is still skeptical because she lies SO MUCH. She lies until we don't even believe what she tells Shang jue in their last scene.
4. Finally, I'd like to say that I definitely need a season 2 of this please. They need to be happy and the mysteries have not yet been solved.
All in all, best cdrama I've watched in 2024
