I basically watched this for Feng Shao Feng, he was amazing in The Story of Ming Lang. The Legend of Zhuohua was okay in my opinion. It started out very cute and super slow. There is little to mild tension throughout the drama and so it’s easy to watch one or two episodes a day.

You can’t binge watch the drama because I feel like the plot is just too slow. Little to no action happens and that is okay. Sometimes you want to watch people just chat with each other and drink tea.

I thought Jing Tian was very adorable and cute. She looks so young and she conveyed the main lead very well. I didn’t think Feng Shao Feng or Jing Tian had chemistry at all. I think it’s because of how Feng Shao Feng played his character. We know he can act (we all have seen it in The story of Ming Lang) but his SUPER stiff / cold personality was very one dimensional and gave the audience little to look forward to.

I do like that the female was super strong in the drama. I loved that she used her mind and even though she was the only woman as a scholar, she didn’t use her sex to her advantage. It was a very girl power drama.

Overall, it’s an okay drama to watch with low angst. I do like low angst dramas and so I’ll take a slow boring drama over a high angst one any day.
