Love the authentic on site location shooting of this drama. It's really fitting for the series: ancient, rustic, and raw. The black and gray buildings also bring parallelism to the ink on traditional Chinese paintings.
It made me curious about the Huizhou location, and upon more searching, there's a UNESCO village of HongCun. Other villages with similar buildings are Xidi and ChengKan. So historical and pretty when you google images these places.
I LOVE how ML knows EXACTLY who his arch enemies are. There is NO misunderstanding of any kind in whether "they did it or didn't do it" business. And because we as viewers also saw what had happened to his family, we're rooting for ML all the way. I'm so relishing every single step ML is taking in exacting vengeance.
The adult version just showed up in the latest ep 6. So, not much to go off at the moment. He at least looks decent. π And I'm ready to like him based on his communication with his brother via mail.
I don't get it why luo family gave everything to tian family, no way they trust tian family that much
They don't have a better option. The eldest son is supposed to marry the Tian daughter, so in essence, they would be related. Also, the Tian 's family used to serve the Luo's family, so there's a secondary connection. If father Luo didn't sign the properties over, it would all be confiscated by the gov't; then there would definitely be no hope in getting anything back.
