finally finished
I have to stop watching unfinished drama... huhuhu....
After I've watch snow sword stride (SSS) I decided to watch this. I have to say this drama have the same vibe with SSS, or should I say SSS have the same vibe with this one. But while SSS have no cliffhanger when they close the curtain, this was like Princess Agent have a frustrated cliffhanger that makes me want to punch the writer in the face. Yes I know they have the 2nd season on the road, but never I've expected they have the same open ending like princess agent.
Don't know to be cry or excited waiting for the season 2. Because I really don't know will Xiao Zhan ever come back to this drama due to his pack schedule.... While his character rather quite important here, and if they change the actor I don't know what my reaction will be.
So yeah I'll gonna put this drama on hold until the second season aired & I will be able to watch that... & after that I'll gonna rise the score too....
==============================================================================================
After hold it for 2 years, finally I'm able to finished this drama. Also still with thought in my mind, will I regret myself for watched this series before all of it aired...? Well... We'll see then...
Story about Fan Xian (FX), a man who 'reborn to ancient time'. He lives in a rural town as the illegitimate son of the Minister of Finance, raised by his grandmother. FX lived free life, guarded by a blind martial arts expert, Wu Zhu (WX), his mother's bodyguard. One time, there's a master of art of poison, Fei Jie (FJ), who come to the town to teach FX the art of medicine & poison. With that FX learn the art of poison from FJ & martial arts from WX.
After an assassination attempt, he decides to venture into the capital to find out more about his mysterious mother and why anyone would want to kill him, as he perceives himself to be an unimportant person. In the capital, he accidentally meets Lin Wan Er (WR), the sickly illegitimate daughter of Princess Royal, and falls in love with her. Unbeknownst to him, she is the woman the emperor chose for him to marry so that he would be the new overseer of the Royal Treasury, an institute Fan Xian's mother established in the palace and currently handled by Princess Royal.
In the capital, however, he gets entangled in the intrigues of the Emperor and the two Princes, as well as the Overwatch Department, leading to him questioning his whole identity and inducing him to find his true life goals, abandoning his original intention to just "enjoy life". So, how his journey will go from here...?
That's basically what this drama about, this time MDL wrote quite accurate about it. Haha... Now let's talk what I like and don't like...
What I like:
+ The interesting character. You can say everyone in here, from FX, WR, Emperor, Chen Ping Ping (CPP) till Wang Qi Nian all interesting in their own way.... Everyone seem to have layer of character / face that will reveal in the perfect timing...
+ One of the greatest 'chess' politic in drama land. Oh... When you hear what CPP & emperor actually planning / cooking under the table, in the few last ep... You will either be amazed by them or you will shake your head, wondering how they have the heart to do so to FX.
+ Watching drama from 5 years ago bring some familiar face that unfamous back then, but now they're someone who are the lead in the drama, like Song Yi as Fan Ruo Ruo. Oh when I watched this 2 years ago, I don't remember nor know her, but now at least I know who she is. And that's make the drama more interesting to watch...
What I don't like:
- The series divided into 3 parts & we have to wait it so damn long for the next series.
- Everyone sometimes so damn stupid, they really willing to do anything in the name of their country... That's kinda pissed me off...
Overall I really think this one of unique drama. But the 3 parts really pissed me off. So yeah, I still need to lower the score... And in the end I still quite excited to watch the next part...
