At last a good series with Li Jiu Lin. Thanks to the director Jiang Xuan Yi for having directed him in a way his talents are displayed. Since his great success in ‘Decreed by fate’ he had received only poor roles of the big guy with no expression, whom lusty women want to touch all over … What a shame! In ‘Eaglewood as a dream’ he has the opportunity to express his strong and gentle character and it is worth it. This series has also many beautiful aspects. First the ladies in front of him are beautiful as it should be in front of such a handsome man. Also, thanks to the production for taking us to settings still unfamiliar, rustic and elegant decors. The cast is perfect, including very charming children appearing here and there as the main leads in their childhood. Finally I found the plot interesting, pleasantly surprising and over all coherent, a quality rare these days when to follow a popular 40 ep series we have to shut down our reasoning because of so much implausibility and endure a descent into more and more morbid plots when the imagination of the writer got dry in the middle of the series. Here during those short 20 episode, the flow remains fine and we are even given a happy ending. A real treat !
