Wow, the same director also made The Legend of Shen Li, which is my most favorite Chinese drama from the last…
Oh my God, I didn't even realize! I LOVED Legend of Shen Li, and when I picked this up, I couldn't help but feel there were some strong similarities in approach and style. Now I know why! This director keeps making masterpieces one after another. 👏🤧
I'm only on ep 15 and Wei Shao's mother is on my last nerve. What is wrong with her? If you can't help your son…
Unfortunately, her character falls most miserably into the 'evil-mother-in-law trope,' but it works very well with the story, so I'm not complaining, lol!
