Want to see men humiliated? This drama is exactly what you are looking for.

Initially when I first approached this drama and saw the beginning of the first episode, I dropped it immediately. However, since I like Zhao Lusi, I gave it a second chance and it actually began to be pretty fun.


Plot: 8,5
_______________________________
★★★★★ Main idea:
--> Very strong, intriguing and well thought out. Except for the main plot, there is a very interesting world created within the script, where two cities are coexisting in absolute separation because of their opposite laws – one is absolutely domineered by females, the other by males. In the city ruled by females - important positions belong to women, women are making money, going hunting, spending time and money for entertainment and carrying out all decisions. Men are the source of entertainment, they have to be obedient to their wives, and are killed if they don't know their place. Oh man, this drama is really sticking it to all men for the humiliation women usually have to bear!
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Logic:
--> Plot makes sense, there are a few dumb twists, but it can be easily forgiven.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Pace:
--> It was interesting till the end.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Impression:
--> Impressed.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Skip rate:
--> I skipped some of the side plots, but not much.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Annoying factors:
--> Sometimes annoying, but nothing serious.


Characters: 8,5
_______________________________
★★★★★ First leads - Prince Han Shuo and third princess Chen Qian Qian:
--> Loved those characters. I was really enjoying the whole kill-dodge bickering.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Other leads - Second princes Chen Chu Chu and Pei Heng:
--> The other leads were I bit uninteresting. But I loved the way second princess character changed because the story diverged from the original script.
_______________________________
★★★☆☆ Overacting:
--> There were certain characters who overreacted to the turn of events without trying to think too much and this kind of behavior is not much to my taste, but it was bearable.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Acting:
--> Liked the acting.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Annoyance level:
--> Not annoyed at all.


Background: 4,5
_______________________________
★★☆☆☆ Soundtrack:
--> Didn't notice any particular song, it was decent and neutral.
_______________________________
★☆☆☆☆ Visuals (camera, scenery, visual effects, ...):
--> I didn’t much appreciate the visual. I actually initially nearly dropped the drama because of that, when both leads started to flying around like two pieces of cotton candy. It was really disturbing.
_______________________________
★★★☆☆ Wardrobe (costumes, hairstyles, makeup, ...):
--> Average.


Rewatch value: 7,5
I assess this value based on impression, skip rate, annoyance level and overall preference.


Final verdict: 8
What I love about this drama is the way it deals with the problem of two opposite worlds, searching for some kind of balance working for both sides. The second strong message from this drama is, what can happen to a person, who loses his purpose in life. This drama made me burst out laughing, but also impressed me with the behind-story thoughts.
