A unique, one of a kind story, diving us deeply into the world of ink
I’ve watched it since day 1, I love Yang Zi, she is one of my favorite actresses, when I started, I’ve already had high hopes for her acting, and she didn’t disappoint me, about this drama, I’ll be straightforward with you, it is ink centered, techniques, heritage, family members dedicating their lives into it, it’s more then just your typical ink making job, it’s their whole reason of existence.
If you expect romance, there will be romance, but it’s not the main plot, so do not expect too much, it’s very slow burn, HOWEVER, it’s still very deep, emotional, and very worth the patience, we’ve still got one of the best couples in drama history with the best chemistry despite it being just a side genre. It’s also not war or court political centered. But you’ll get a touch of it at some point.
It’s about craftsmanship, passionate commitment to being a master and give a dedicated life to your craft, enough to pass it down through generations and making it a big heritage worth passion.
It’s about business, cunning and scheming rivals
It’s about staying resilient and fighting against the whole world just to defend your own belief.
It’s about focusing on your self and trusting your skills, making it your way to win any competition and rivalry.
As 8th grandfather says: “Your focus shall be on producing the ink, not on your rivals”.
It’s about deep friendship, sisterhood, and strong family ties,
You’ll definitely end up shedding so much tears through the episodes most of the time, it touches the heart so deeply, the characters development is great as well, the lack of depth in romance is not a flaw, it is just not the drama’s story main focus, we dived deeply into learning more about historical ink, which I believe the techniques and knowledge shown is indeed real. This drama is not typical, it’s different, it might not suit the tastes of those who expected romance or court politics and war, the lack of those aren’t flaws. It’s simply different and beautiful.
