Powerful ML smart FL - Enemies, to pawns to... romance ;)
ML dashing, smart, emperor, physically strong, righteous, has rizz and sarcastic comments, elegant and calm but not aloof.very perceptive, notices things before others, can catch small hints and changes. very attractive, which is rarely achieved in the emperor role because it is to powerfull and stoic, but this one has that manly kindness that ML can pull of.
FL very smart, top female scholar, kind, playful, a bit mischevious, can survive various surrounding with her sharp tongue and whits. Elegant, nice, kind, and she can pull this all together in a cute way. overal impression is cuteness, ehich is hard when you're playing superior smart FL.
Director - we know him from the double, catching that close up during important scenes, to catch full range of emotions. Not to slow, but perfectly executed to guide us through those glares and glimpses to catch full range of emotions of characters involved.
Also, ML and FL are always beautiful, but through this camera we can actually enjoy it.
Plot - palace intrigues well mixed with combat scenes, actions, conversations and romance
Chemistry - main couple is 10/10, FL and SFL friendship is one of the best
Rewatch material - definitely,
SO, HERE IS WHAT OTHERS COMPLAIN, AND WHY THE RATING IS LOW, and my opinion on it.
So many misogynistic comments, pretending to be comments on drama but revealing deeply misogynistic beliefs:
- actress that is above 35 is old?
- actress that had a baby can not have roles with chemistry?
- dramas with feminism are too much, should be strictly historically accurate. ( I guess these people could never enjoy Bridgerton, or Star Wars or something similar that is not historically or scientifically accurate). This is much milder alteration from reality, in purpose of entertainment content. Not a documentary.
If you are down-to-earth person and enjoy good drama, this one is it. Nevermind the shallow comments.
In my opinion:
- this is the best drama I watched since The Double
- the best Emperor role ever (I also like Ji Chang Wook in Empress Ki)
- really good main couple chemistry, thank you director for that, I love their bickering that often appears as power game, and I love that they did not become couple early in drama like it usually is. So we have something to cheer for. This feminist FL and emperor the most powerful person of history ML, now if thats not enemies to lovers I don't know what is :D
- the cutest 2nd couple. His eyes, when he falls in love, at the woman that annoys him the most - so beautiful, I wonder if actor himself fall in love that moment, or is he just that amazing actor :) I need drama of these too :D
- very creepy layered villains. so irritating, thus the more satisfying when justice is served by the most ruthless beauty.
