WRITER IS CONFUSED ~~

Previously, the ML had no senses no emotions but great kung fu skills and internal qi, then, he swapped with FL, her senses became numb cause they were transferred to the ML and in exchange she receives his kung fu and internal qi now ML can feel through his senses and his emotions are also on-point .. practically, here the FL should've become emotionally numb cause her emotions are transferred to the ML but to its contrary she is behaving more emotional than before ..of course, she is carrying a poker face cause writer anyway wanted to convey the same but cause story can't move forward without the misunderstandings, we see her getting angry with ML over him being alleged murderer of her family. We see her getting happy after meeting her long lost sister, we see her displaying all sort of emotions.

This type of Not-owning-to-their-own-bullsh*t is quite common in asian writers ..they always pick a bizzare scenario with bizzare nuisances but couldn't carry them the way they are supposed to be carried out till the end.




Okay that's enough with complaints let's talk about the drama.. the overall story is quite enjoyable there is good ROMANCE with healthy...uh! Almost healthy leads relationship (minus this one time when FL wanted to kill ML) , COMEDY with their sweet pulling each other's legs moments especially once they discover the secret behind their switching , SUSPENCE around a larger than life villain.. but yeah!! I can't deny i was anticipating more action for that martial arts swiping. They provide some but it was far less than enough.

WXY did an amazing job as ML especially when you think he must be only 19 or 20 years old at that time, you can actually fathom the depth of his talent. And I remember it was around the same time he played negative role in one and only 🫢🫢🫢 ~~~ unforgettable.

Taking about the FL,, bu guan jin ..first of all let me just drop a petition on MDL to change her DP ..she looks absolute horrible in this pic ..infact if it weren't for this pic her dramas might have had more viewers. I loved her acting ..her looks are okay-ish but she deserves more recognition for her acting talent alone.
The chemistry between leads was good...nothing RDX worthy but manageable.

Side cast was equally talented , there were a lot of familiar faces like li jui lin, dingluan, zi hao, the ctors playing emporer and empress.

Styling was basic yet royal like it should be for a period drama setting. OST was good but forgettable.

Overall! I enjoyed this drama, of course! with my trusted SKIP button.
