Caesar Wu in a historical drama? This I got to see.
STORY:
Shen Jin (Tang Min) is a noble lady who unfortunately is a child of one of the Duke's many wives which was always bullied by her sisters. Her older sister is kind to her though so I don't get why the other sisters look down on her when the older sister basically is the first child of the family but yep, they had to have drama in the family. So she happens to meet the male lead since her sister tricked her to marry the demon general Chu Xiu Ming (Caesar Wu) thinking that this general looks like an old brute. Their first meeting is actually comical to be honest and I like the fact that she has her servant with her as her friend all the time. Xiu Ming did not trust her at first because he was thinking that she was a spy from people who want him out of power especially when he was close to the king. It was a journey of them liking each other and I liked the fact that there was no complicated situation between them because that would be too dragging and cliche. They're relationship is good and their skinship plus kisses are so natural I thought they were husband and wife in real life. What I'm weirded out though is the ending. So everything that happened is just a figment of the female lead's imagination? What the heck was that? Although it would be an opener for a possible season 2 if they rewrote it as they were reincarnated instead.
ACTING/CAST:
Tang Min and Caesar Wu had so much chemistry there were times I had to close my eyes because I was suddenly feeling second hand embarrassment syndrome. Whoever casted them as leads deserves a raise.
MUSIC:
Yes! I love that main theme that the leads also sang. I could still recall and listen to it in my head even though there is no music playing around me. That's how memorable the main OST was.
REWATCH VALUE:
Definitely. The story was interesting and I wouldn't mind to just play it in the background.
