DOMESTIC ISSUES AND A SUPER WOMAN

Lin ShaoChun (Bai Lu) is the 4th daughter in law of Sun's family, married to Sun YuLao (Wang Yi Zhi) after an early rocky disapproval relationship because she came from a troupe group, proving herself and gaining back her family's heritage and name with the help of Sun YuLao - she's able to marry him and gain approval from Sun's head of family. Her intelligence and wisdom makes her a super woman, she's the problem solver of every single's family issues - everyone come to her seeking advise and resolving their dire problems. There are two people that family (& country) look up to; Sun Xun (father) and ShaoChun, one is an influential respectful Kingdom's Grand Secretariat and the other is Sun's 4th daughter in law - the good thing is her husband Sun YuLao loves her deeply and every member of family respect her.

Very domestic family oriented drama, 8 children all together with their in-laws bends to have 8 different direction of story to tell. Pheww...none of them has children yet so their wrong decision does not involve in a child well-being...I can't imagine if every couple has 1 or 2 children, this story is going to be a mess. The oldest son - he's kind blind-sided with mismatched character with blatant wife who's longing for a 'womanly' kind of wife, second son who's a General who presumably lost 2 wives and give up for another chance of love, 3rd son who's kind of useless and always a 'yes' man to dominant wife but lately he showed a talent of mechanical repairman, 4th son who's smart enough to marry ShaoChun - he's the magistrate that seek justice and priority truth. 1st daughter Royal Consort Sun who's the wife of the Emperor, 2nd daughter who just become a widow (appear on ep 33) who happens to love ShaoChun's senior brother as they were young sweetheart, 3rd daughter who married to a loser guy who think highly of himself, youngest and last child is a teen-daughter from concubine Mei. I couldn't believe I remember all this...

ShaoChun is also involved with Imperial domestic issues as well as resolving some crucial political uproars, even the Emperor and Kingdom can use her talent in solving critical issues. Well, if anyone wants to know what domestic issues Sun's family have (and how a super woman ShaoChun is) I can recommend this drama, 43 episodes isn't bad - middle episode is a big drag but after that picks up, ending ep 43 is a totally unpredictable. This drama is alright, overall score is an OK, I enjoy it. There are plenty of familiar faces of supporting actors....most of all I love their OST. Slow, soothing, melodious, appropriate....
