same old trope but better
rehashing old tropes in cdrama is normal. but done right is very few on the list.this one can be added to that.
a lot of female general was shown this year.
Li Qin is the Best by a mile.
Chen Zhe Yuan was great i like his progression from cheesy to a more mature role.
Production value was top notch.
there were characters that shouldnt have been added in the first place.
like the lady physician i dont get her character.
the kids story although needed they are annoying.
Xia Jing Shi character was weak AF i cant believe he is the main villain. The death camp story should have been explained better for character development. i dont know make him more evil i guess??
but all in all among the series shown in that time period . This was the best for me
thanks director i love a lot of your work.

Plot triumps over promotion Acting over Hype
Im lovin Royal Betrothal so far it strays away from the popular trope flooding the C world at the moment. Its refresing to see a Young emperor Ying Gua played by Chen Zhe Yuan trying to burst out the grips of the throne. Not being a puppet of the old seers of the old ways. It nice to see an emperor not just handing out Edicts and reform in the comforts of his throne.This is my first Wu jin Yan drama and i only hear good things from her acting and drama selection and ao far i am very satisfied. She played Meng Ting Hui an abused orphan trying to defeat oppression she experience early in life by studying and trying to be a good politician.
i am soo inlove with friendships being shown in this drama Meng Ting Hui and Fu zhi friendship is just lovely. Same goes with Yingua and Zhi zu.
This series just air dropped all of a sudden even actors in it were caught off guard . Absolutely no promotion which is just sad given the effort made by the people involve. Its just a relief that with the actors skills Yingua and Meng ting hui was given life beautifully.
Given the brouhaha this drama had in the onset of filming im just glad the drama is doing well.
