Don't waste your time on this drama. If you don't check screenwriter past work you convinced this is her 1st drama but somehow she is actually have many work before this and some of them is my fav. This is thriller/mystery and romance drama but all what they tried to do coming short. There's a feeling like you watching telenovela/soap drama on some plot and the camera work in it doesn;t help. Even the OST feel out of place in this series. Still can't believe Ishihara Satomi choose this drama as her comeback project after pregnant and give birth.
Like : - Most actor doing good job and i'm glad that the actor that act as Emperor have many scenes this time but need more Duo Duo next season. - Politic story at the palace really carry this season imo and as Fan Xian character said, i really cannot figure what the Emperor character want to do
Dislikes: - Slow start. Im actually fast forward many scenes in first 5,6 eps since the FX fake death plot cannot really pick up my interest with . - Comedies. I think this is the most thing that i really hate about this season. Most of the comedies just feel too childish or or feel forced and happen at the wrong time - Cinematography. For a highly rated series, this season camera feel cheap and look like just regular idol drama.
That Yodeling singing when they crossed the bridge is too much for me. I know the director like to inject some modernity detail in this series but sometimes it just look out of place.
Ep 6 - That last scene in that hospital when they hold hand together feel so uncomfortable to watch knowing her fiancée work there and is his doctor. I wonder who the real arsonist? ML friend look suspicious to me.
It's crime drama so i kind of already expect that ending but still disappointing. Maybe the scriptwriter can get a bit creative a bit. Still, it kind of ridiculous policy by Chinese gov in that regard.
