Recommending you to give Luoyang a chance
As a big Cdrama fan who has liked only two historical dramas this year; The Rebel Princess and The Long Ballad , though I have watched many other dramas but ended up dropping them at the end, I got interested in Luoyang at first bcuz of Wang Yibo, then when I watched the press conference, what caught my attention was the huge budget and big production. In addition to the great support from Luoyang city itself, as the drama aiming to talk about this city, and shows the significance of its historical aspect too. So kinda started to have some interest In this drama for all these reasons too.
Will start by the musical opening of this drama which is magnificent, bcuz it shows in glimpses the great cinematography and CGI in this series.
The Story:
Its very solid plot. It would engage you into the story from the first episode and keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. You find yourself repeating scenes not skipping or fast forwarding them to keep up with the suspense and chasing the possible clues.
And interestingly its not a dry drama but you will have sweet and funny moments that will be going on with the flow of the plot.
I liked also how everyone of the main 3 characters has his/her own perfect exposure in unfolding their own stories till the moment their roads to be crossed with each other. And this goes the same to the secondary characters where everyone of them is shining through his/her role, no matter how short screen-time or exposure s/he has. Also I liked the great development in every character, and how the dynamic is going on in between them. And a unique feature this show has is giving a space to the female characters to be a ruler as the Empress here and a female inner guard without crossdressing into men’s wear.
About the Romance?
Usually I’d love to have romance in the drama I watch but this one has been very interesting to watch so I didn’t care much about it. But it seems we will have light romance.
The Cast:
Honestly at first when I looked up the casting list, I did feel any chemistry between them but when I watched the press conference I was surprised in very good way by their harmony and chemistry. Now after watching the 6 eps all I can say, they all are perfectly casted.
The production:
I believe you wouldn’t miss this one even if you didn’t follow the news of the drama since the beginning or didn’t watch the press conference. Its very evident in every single scene. It feels like you are watching a movie not a drama!
The OSTs:
They all are good so far specially the ending song. Wishing it would be released soon as MV.
The promotion:
iqiyi doing great job in promoting the drama and going all out in doing so ??
Have to mention that the fighting choreographies are so great and very interesting to watch.
Also the lighting in this drama is very outstanding bcuz it’s emphasizing the strong correlation of luoyang to the light in the history.
Talking about Wang Yibo , he is owing Baili character, and I can’t see anyone but him playing this role. He is definitely showing his growth as an actor through #BailiHongyi . And here as a fan, I feel so happy he got a chance to be part of this great drama
Finally wanna say if you are fan of historical genre for any Cdrama or Kdrama, I highly recommend you to give Luoyang a chance and I could guarantee you 90 % you will like the drama bcuz its a complete package has it all.
