Beautiful drama in terms of setting etc

Pls don’t be offended as I’m just being completely honest.

The location for this is def beautiful. It seems to be an open location shoot rather than in a warehouse with green screens.
The actors are excellent as well. Great chemistry, personalities etc.
OST is great as well. Kinda what you would expect from this type of drama but in a good way.

The storyline itself is where I eh have a bit of an issue with. I felt like there’s some things that really weren’t fully explained to the viewers. It’s as if a scene was cut out. Although it was overall put together good just little things that happens and then not explained.

I do like the fact there’s no usual misunderstanding between the main couple. If there was it was easily resolved with communicate. That’s a bit rare to find in ancient china dramas. Therefore there was no need to add endless fillers avoiding the issues.

I liked how they showed females working together and stepping out of the homemaker role.. However I felt that realistically, some things wouldn’t have gone that well. Obviously with other dramas a lot of situations and characters wouldn’t have been sooo exaggerated. However they did it a bit too much and almost over the top. There was always a side story that they twisted where it showed diff male characters as being sleazy, causing issues, blaming females(for their own mishaps) etc. Then how the female leads would be able to quickly overcome it and be stronger after . It almost seemed that they literally could resolve world hunger with just a few smart moves.

I know they def wanted to empower female.

This has nothing to do with my own personal feelings or having issues against anyone. I just felt it was one after another non stop. The finale also felt rushed…

Other than that it def was a very good drama that didn’t cause a lot of the frustrating and stress others would.
