My all-time favorite historical c drama

I’ve watched countless c dramas including many historicals, but Wonderland of Love is the best one yet! I don’t usually write reviews but I just had to for this c drama. Everything from the plot to the cast to the effects was just perfect!
I’ll review each aspect one by one:

1- Storyline/Plot

I really enjoyed this plot, especially the romance trope. I always love when the main leads are equals in terms of personality, intelligence and skills. FL and ML match each other’s energy so much and I love watching them work together and predict each other’s plans. For once, they act like grown ups who can communicate and get to an understanding instead of being stuck in a misunderstanding for over ten episodes. This type of romance is my favorite. Aside from the love story, the side plot is also very well crafted. The intense moments are just right and not overly done, but just enough to make your heart beat faster.. The sad scenes are not too dramatic but just enough to make you shed a tear. The story is incredibly beautiful and I’m so glad it was a happy ending!
I do have to specify that though it’s happy, a lot was lost for that ending.


2- Cast

I am absolutely in love with the cast. Xu Kai is one of my favorite actors. His expressions are perfect and the way his eyes tell his emotions! He was outstanding in this show, and so was Jing Tian. To me, the two match each other so much they look perfect together. The way they acted together really made me feel the romance in the air and their feelings were extremely realistic. The chemistry is INSANE!
The support roles were also very important to the show. Especially the brothers/Li Ni’s subordinates. I felt their acting on another level and they definitely added something special tot this show.

3- Effects/Music/Costumes

The music was well chosen for every moment. I don’t want to spoil anything but the music during the sad moments were more than enough to make me cry my whole life out. It all felt so realistic. Another point is the costumes. For a historical drama, the costumes were very well designed and everything about this drama will make you feel like you’re in ancient China. The effects were out of this world. Every scene with bloodshed, ambushes, swords, explosions, etc. Was visually pleasing (not saying the violence but the way it was brought to us).


This whole drama was a roller coaster of emotions and you will not regret watching it.
This is a must watch drama of 2023, and one of the best historical dramas I’ve ever seen! As I said before, everything about this drama matches each other and I promise this wil be a satisfying drama to watch.

Have a good watch <3
