Man I wish I posted my review for this right after I watched it.

I highly recommend this drama. It make you keep wanting more and more as you watch. The plots have some issues but I’ll explain more. The acting was amazing.

STORY:

YuanAn is a strong tomboy female who like to be independent. She is smart, young beautiful young lady.
In the first half of the story YuanAn have a crush on LanZhi. I was on that the team for YuanAn/LanZhi right away. Then MuLe came in the picture, but in the beginning they really made as if he was the second lead male actor, who will never be able to be with the lead female. YuanAn/LanZhi were like partners in crime and MuLe was their sidekick. YuanAn/LanZhi solve crime together and had many cute moments. MuLe on the other hand was a brokenhearted servant, as YuanAn only really saw MuLe as a servant and a friend.

When LanZhi got married to the annoying MingHui, YuanAn married MuLe as like a revenge in a way. The writer make it seem like it was a cute romantic thing, but it was only cute for MuLe, and YuanAn did it to make LanZhi jealous. Which is really mess up, but in these kind of dramas/shows the social view will always be mess up and messy.

Later on MuLe remember who he was and stole the beads. When he went back to his kingdom, he forgot everything in the other kingdom. YuanAn was ordered to go get the beads back. YuanAn and MuLe slowly fell for each other as YuanAn became MuLe’s servant. ( oh how the table have turned ) Team YuanAn/MuLe

Many people died in the end but that’s how most dramas in this genre end with, so I was use to the bittersweet ending.
_____
The show have some cheap love scenes but all shows have that and it’s cute.
YuanAn’s character was best in the beginning, but in the middle of the show, she was like an immature kid who threw fits when they didn’t get what they wanted. Later on her character recover and came back as a strong character but some way wiser.
LanZhi/MingHui’s relationship didn’t really make sense as they worked out their problems when the show wasn’t focus on having them in the eps.

ACTING/CASTING:

The acting in this show was amazing.
like Zheng YeCheng as MuLe was the best, as he play an amazing naive servant to a smart prince.

MUSIC:

I have the whole playlist in my phone and listen to it a lot

REWATCH VALUE:

I will watch it again
