"Double heart heart to the handsome Duke"
My greatest escape after I watched the goodbye my princess. This is not just a drama to me..The purpose was to watch it in order to forget,but as the drama progressed I couldn't stop.But don't forget to carry ur brain cells with you,the two main characters loved to investigate like Sherlock. Sometimes,I got left behind,maybe I have low brain power or I was just enticed and focused on the handsome investigator (Duke Su) and not on the investigation.Duke Su nailed my heart, I mean nailed his character.Love the nonchalant emotions..the matured love. The both the same level of quirkyness and affection.The mutual understanding of their feelings to each other hayst..love love
The romantic scenes were common,but I don't know how the two main characters made the ordinary scenes an extraordinary one..It was heart melting. The charisma of the Duke,the angst ,the sharp gaze,the calm face,okay the everything. It is hard to look away when the handsome duke is on the scene,but if you look at him for too long you would get drowned.Jiang Li's pain ughh,only a heartless human couldn't feel it. I was devastated watching her painful scene.
But the other irrelevant characters had more screen time than Duke Su. I mean hellow he is the male lead,but as I calculated it, during the 20 early episodes I only saw him,either, in the last part or first part,and then pshaw!! The psycho Wanning again. Or I am just obsessed with him that's why I feel like he had few scenes. But truth to be told,due to some irrelevant scenes of minor characters,some big moments of the two main characters were not being emphasized.
Duke Su's clothing,I honestly don't know if the costumes are all beautiful,or he was just good on wearing it,I mean he is dashingly handsome,whatever colors and styles he wore there,be it violet,red,black,and when he wore the warrior clothes,nahh kill me,he is one of the most beautiful soldiers I have ever seen in historical Chinese drama. One thing I noticed again,observed the way he walked,he wore the traditional Chinese shoes like loafers. He is damn cool...
Would I rewatch it again? absolutely there is no doubt,even during the time I was watching it I still kept replaying Duke Su's scene. I love all his sarcastic and poetic dialogue.
In C-drama revenge is everything. There were tragic endings on some valuable characters,and the ending, of Duke Su and Li, I was expecting a hug, but only a horse running,but as long as the Duke is alive,I will let myself be satisfied with the ending. I know he is alive,he was the one who was riding the horse,wearing his favorite red attire...
Lessons:
A sad fact, when the powerful one targets you the only way to escape is to challenge death and if u r not brave enough you will become their toys but like the message of the Female mc,she talked about heaven,that somehow there is a Big one up there who can manage the injustice and all our affairs.
Revenge is just unending battle for the restless soul. It is an expensive word that you need to pay, along the way while seeking it you will lose something or someone or worst you will lose urself.
Power is unending rat race...speaking of rat ..the most iconic funny scene of the two lead characters was the rat scene.
The thought that the world turned against you,but as the mc sooth revenge she found out,that she didn't lost her world,she just lost the wrong man.

Bring back my sanity Xiao2x couple ??
I fell in love with the two main characters ,I can't move on.their great portrayals put me on edge. The acting is superb,the beautiful scenery and the crazy story put in awe.But the ending broke me.I was broken.I lost my mind,I lost my appetite,I had gone insane,I don't know what to do with my life anymore....
This drama affected me so much...I incurred real pain. A self-inflicted suffering in myself.
I pinched my heart with every painful scene and my heart jumped with excitement and laughter when the two leads were happy.Their happy voices echoed in my mind,I told you they robbed my sanity.
I am someone who doesn't get easily attached but this, I invested my time, my tears and enjoyed every "beautiful scene" and most of all the lessons that I got for every character are something that I burried deep inside my heart. To say it is best is not enough. The change of the characters of Xiao Wu and Xiao Feng, how their facial expressions changed from happy to gloomy, how their voices changed from funny to serious. woahhh I love them. They are more than best, the way they carry their characters not to mention their incredible dashing faces.
The drama:
depicted the reality, a messy decision making, a hunger for power, a weakness of the heart. You could see in this drama, that women are tools of men, the young ones are the tools of the old ones and the old ones are the slave of revenge. Though the ending is sad, it should be the ending though I want Xiao Feng to see happy with the man she loved,but it didn't happen but then again the ending should be like this. I remember the episode where Xiao Wu joined his army and killed Xiao Feng's grandfather matched with the episode when Xiao Feng sacrificed herself.The weight of their pain could only be balanced by the last episode. The loss of life of Xiao Feng killed Xiao Wu..There are two things that died on the last episode.Xiao Feng's sufferings and Xiao Wu's heart. Xiao Wu killed Xiao Feng roots, her family and expected Xiao Feng to continue her life without her roots, it is obvious it is hard to lead your life without roots especially when the one who cut it is the man you loved. But I hate the scene when the female lead character killed herself,I mean why? Why author? Why??
lessons:
I have already written long enough I am afraid I can't stop...hehe.. So much in my mind but I only give two.Not all cultures can be preserved especially when it is toxic and detrimental.LOVE is powerful if you use it as a weapon instead of seeing it as a weakness.
When I love a drama,I watch it many times,but this drama I couldn't dare to watch it again. But the irony of it,despite the fact that I watched it once,it pained me to say that all the remarkable scenes still engraved in my memory. Yes,it feels like I had watched it many times.
Would I recommend this? Nah,it depends on how strong your heart is. It is poison,but it was something that I didn't regret on drinking and until now I couldn't find the antidote...?
