A Journey I Was Invested in From Start to Finish
Honestly, I really enjoyed this drama. Not a single episode felt boring to me. I was invested from the beginning all the way to the ending, and I always wanted to know what was going to happen next. It’s been a while since I watched a drama where I didn't feel like skipping through certain parts.
What I loved the most was the rags-to-riches storyline. Watching Zhao Ling slowly build his way up from nothing was so satisfying. I really liked seeing his journey, especially because it didn't feel like he suddenly became successful overnight. You actually get to see him struggle, make choices, and slowly get to where he wants to be.
And I have to talk about the leads. I've already watched some of the Ding Yu Xi's previous works, so I already knew he was good, but I really enjoyed him in this one too. Zhao Ling was such an interesting character to watch, and I loved seeing his growth throughout the story.
Also, Ancy Deng was such a pleasant surprise for me. I've never watched any of her dramas before, so this was my first one, and I genuinely think she's really good. I loved watching her character grow throughout the story, and she made the emotional scenes feel very natural.
Obviously, Zhao Ling and Xie Tingyun are some of my favorites. I really liked their relationship and the way they supported each other. Their chemistry worked for me, and I enjoyed watching them become closer while dealing with everything happening around them.
And I have to mention the Emperor because honestly, I really liked him. It's actually rare for me to like an emperor character this much. Usually they're either frustrating, completely unreasonable, or just there to create problems, but I genuinely enjoyed his character here.
There are also quite a few supporting characters I ended up loving. Fan Yake is probably the funniest one for me because I really disliked her at first. I was fully prepared to hate her, but by the end I didn't actually hate her that much. Her character grew on me more than I expected.
I also really liked the different relationships between the characters. It wasn't only about the main couple, and that made the whole story more enjoyable for me.
Overall, I genuinely had a great time watching this. The story kept me interested, the characters grew on me, and I really loved the whole journey from nothing to something. And after watching Ancy Deng for the first time here, I definitely want to check out more of her dramas.
And honestly, I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this drama when it ended. I genuinely wanted a few more episodes. I was having such a good time with these characters and their story that the ending came way too quickly for me. I would've happily watched a few more episodes just to spend more time with everyone.
