Amazing fight scenes and great chemistry :)

The names Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi are no strangers to the Chinese drama industry. Both are so famous and both have not disappointed in this new drama. They are so poised - the way they stand, the way they fight and portray their individual roles so well. The chemistry between them is very evident already in Episode 1, so I’m expectant of great things to come! :)

The whole cast itself is amazing. The writers have done a great job in drawing the audience in, to see and understand the characters and relate to their pain and struggles. There are 3 main themes in this drama: Political and power struggle✔️ Martial arts and Kung Fu fight scenes✔️ Romance and Love✔️ All three have a pretty good balance I would say, and each episode just pulls you deeper to want more!

The fight scenes are incredible. The CG is amazing, the moves are so “Keng” ; it will just keep you wanting for more. The overall pace so far is pretty good. There’s a lot of characters and places, so it can get a bit confusing. The costumes are absolutely beautiful :) Yang yang wears this ombré with different shades of blue, and ZLS has a similar matching baby blue attire- SO GORGEOUS!! I’ve noticed that most of the time they compliment each other with the same shade of colour. The sets are also all very intricately well done with attention to detail. I’m truly very impressed.

Episodes 1-18 there’s a lot of martial arts Kung fu frighting. From the middle to the end it’s more politics and power struggle to ascend to the throne. A lot of talk and conspiracies. But throughout the whole drama there is the romance and love factor between main leads which is very strong.

The final two episodes can be somewhat confusing, as there’s a lot of different battle scenes. The ending is bittersweet, not perfect for me. [Spoiler] What would have been perfect is to see maybe a baby or a little toddler in the picture: and the POSSIBILITY that the 10-year life span curse could be broken. That would be an open-ending, which would have given me hope! The current ending was a little disappointing. [End spoiler]

All in all, a very very good drama!! You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended :)
