The Top of 2022 Releases

I have to say I love watching Asian Tv shows. And not only Chinese, but Korean, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Thailand Lakorn, Phillipines and more. So I can say my yearly quota of dramas/tv shows/ soap opera are not small! Keeping that in mind, and the content released this year, this one is by far a top one. And even if I can't compare with other countries genre types as to make it a fair competition, this one is still a top one. I loved it, and will for sure rewatch many times in the future. Here are my pros and cons:

PRO:
- Great acting crew chemistry;
- Flow of the story is well paced;
- Story did not focus only on one genre. ie: is not only about romance..comedy..revenge.. or solving the mystery. It is all that mixed in a well explained story;
- Visuals were INCREDIBLE;
- I usually watch the first episode and then prefer to wait until is fully released, with this one, I was too into it to wait;
- Acting was EXCEPTIONAL! I mean, they were amazing, you would cry and laugh accordingly, not feel like only a spectator.

CONS:
- I felt like is not a totally "relatable"in the historical context for China. They kept many characteristics and rules to a thee, but some situations would just not be acceptable at the time period, but if taken in consideration a fantasy, with a complete created world, then yes, it is understandable.
- Sometimes I felt like a lot of things did not get a proper explanation or end.Like the passing cameos, which added to the story and never were seen again, just mentioned. Maybe there will be spinoffs?
- One thing that keeps me asking if I did proper watch the series and I'll probably rewatch. MAYBE SPOILER ALERT!? (Did SS have another older brother we never saw?)

Well that was it! I felt like my cons where all things I need to properly pay attention when rewatching. So not really a bad thing? I recommend this to you all that like romantic, comic and historical dramas!
