An excellent historical series, with high budget, addictive and well done.

I didn't know the other actors, but I like the director and especially the ML, Bai Jing Ting ❤❤❤.

Warning: I like reading detailed reviews, carefully analyzing the history of the series, the actors, the characters, etc. what people sometimes do on MDL. But I don't have the knowledge for that. So I'm just describing my feelings (in short)!

Plot: the FL, legitimate but disadvantaged daughter of a merchant, is married to the ML, noble, rich, idle and arrogant. She will "put him back on the right path", learn how to do business, and they will face conflicts, war, exile, plots, etc. together. and work together to consolidate the nation.

PROS:
+ 2 excellent main leads (the ML, Bai Jing Ting & the FL, Song Yi), who have a good chemistry.
+ Great general cast, with well-developed 2ndary characters
+ story written with finesse and intelligence, coherent and relatively realistic.
+ dynamic production, without length.
+ Superb costumes, high quality battle scenes, beautifully aesthetic images... ((In particular, a superb episode 27 (battles, 1st kiss, FL in a wedding dress beating the war drum, etc.)) => Big budget!!
+ Epic OSTs, the songs were very fitting and set a dramatic and emotional tone that is infused throughout the show.

CONS:
- The narration is a little slow in the 3rd narrative arc (construction of the dam) even if it is essential to understand the storyline.
- subtitles difficult to follow on certain episodes (display the translation of the song rather than the dialogues).

=> This is a magnificent historical series, addictive and really well done (to watch and rewatch sometimes)...

Je ne connaissais pas les autres acteurs, mais j'aime bien le réalisateur et surtout le ML, Bai Jing Ting ❤❤❤.

Remarque : J'aime lire les reviews détaillées, analysant finement l'historique de la série, des acteurs, des personnages, etc. que sont capables de réaliser certains viewers. Mais je suis incapable d'en écrire. Je donne donc juste mon ressenti (en bref) !

Plot : la FL, fille légitime mais défavorisée d'1 marchant, est mariée au ML, noble, riche, oisif et arrogant. Elle va "le remettre dans le droit chemin", apprendre à faire des affaires, et ils vont affronter ensemble les conflits, guerre, exil, complots, etc. et œuvrer ensemble pour consolider la nation.

PROS :
+ 2 main leads excellents ( le ML, Bai Jing Ting & la FL, Song Yi), avec bonne alchimie.
+ TB cast général, avec personnages 2aires bien développés
+ story écrite avec finesse et intelligence, cohérente et relativement réaliste.
+ réalisation dynamique, sans longueur.
+ Des costumes superbes, des scènes de bataille de haute qualité, des images d'une esthétique soignée... ((Notamment, un superbe épisode 27 (batailles, 1e kiss, FL en robe de mariée battant le tambour, etc.)) => Gros budget !!
+ OST épiques, bien adaptées aux émotions transmises.

CONS:
- narration un peu lente dans le 3e arc narratif (construction du barrage) même si c'est indispensable à la compréhension de la storyline.
- sous titres difficiles à suivre sur certains épisodes (affichent la traduction de la chanson plutôt que les dialogues).

=> Excellente série historique, addictive et bien menée.
