The ML Lin JinQi was hardened being a soldier in the battle fields for 6 years, so it's natural he would show some aging in appearance and also character wise. I think Liu XueYi fits the role perfectly.
The Zhao's patriarch, although they had the resources and means to hire tutors, chose not to educate their female children. I remember the caption on the screen on episode 3(?) they believed females would be better when they could not read.
How frustrated it is not being able to read and write in the society. The first wife, Zhao Xing Tang, took me by surprise she was illiterate (due to Zhao's father women would be best illiterate in comparison to the Lin's women). The actress (Li Meng) played it perfectly, I could feel the bleak, helplessness, sadness of her life.
Question for all. Do you guys think Lin Jin Qi is a bad person?
I expect him to be boorish and a rascal only on the outside which would make the show interesting. We will see the good sides of him and his growth as the show progresses as he is the main lead.
I enjoy the show and am still watching it. When Miao Jing was in high school around 16-18 years old of age, Chen Yi should be around 18-20 years old (episodes 6, 7). I feel he looked way older for that age and also acted too mature. Just curious, is this consistent with the web novel?
I finished watching this on Netflix, such a comforting and healing drama, but also feels like a promotion of tourism in rural areas? The FL is so pretty but I can't help noticing she has so many outfits, almost a different outfit each day, like watching a clothing catalog display on the screen haha. Overall it's an entertaining show and enjoyable watch.
