Its turning into a hard no quickly. Need some help making sense of this drama. For me its going in one ear and out the other. I take offense to the notion that this is like Fangs of Fortune or My Journey 2 U - which are in fact two exceptionally good dramas. Even with the crossover lead actors such a comparison is 110% questionable. Maybe, if pressed, I can imagine a wee bit of Love Game in Eastern Fantasy especially with the attempt at humor and that is about it.
Sweet potato time. That could have beeen one of the most cheesy scenes in recent cdrama history. But, the FL pulled it off by the time she got to the 'I want to spit in all your faces' scene ending. Anyone who wants to argue that Li Qin can not act - bring it on. Ready for the fight. No, she is not the best actress out there. No, she is not the prettiest actress out there. Yes, she is more than good enough. That gurl can channel her inner bad ass man child like no other female in a war general role. Period.
Has anyone noticed how gorgeous and lavish their outfits are? Some of the best Iβve seen in Chinese dramas.
Quality of the fabrics on the leads costumes is insane! They spent bank. Plus they layered the ML up presumably to give him some bulk and presence. I fck with the sway on his silk.
till now my fav are the court scenes and scenes between father and son.
Some of the stronger scenes for certain. Find myself starting to look forward to them. Anticipating the father's reaction is turning into a guessing game.
On another note the amount of makeup on both ML and XJS is a bit too much
Its the cakey lipstick on the women and the twinkly slick lip gloss on the ML that throws me off. Not something I would normally take notice of. Could be the blinding/reflective lighting that contributes to the sense of poor makeup too.
