An unconventional and unique historical drama.
I have more or less watched everything but bear in mind I didn’t watch it in full detail so it can possibly be a factor of my the outcome of my review.
First of all, 60 episodes. Is a lot. And don’t get me wrong if it is a show where it’s filled with all the different things I am looking for in a drama then it would more or less be something that I would enjoy watching and wouldn’t want it to end too soon. But I didn’t felt like I wasn’t enjoying watching this drama as much I would have hoped. But it is still a good show just not so much for me right now. It’s more of a lighthearted watch I would say for myself.
So 60 episodes is an overkill. Especially if it is has a complicated plot story then it would be hard to follow along for all the episodes and it would be impossible not to get bored or lightheaded.
I think the plot of the story wasn’t too complicated. It has the vibes of Mulan for the female lead which is something I always appreciate because seeing a female just kicking butt and being all badass like the female warrior Mulan is. It’s very empowering and just touching to see. As a woman naturally one would be to touched by this.
However the romance part is abit confusing I would say. There is passionate scenes more or less which is great of course makes the whole thing more exciting to watch. But, I believe that there is a bit of LGBT element in this show. It’s not subtle, it’s pretty obvious. Like for a second love interest for the female is a female. And even when this female found out that the female lead is a woman she was heartbroken cos like she thought it was a guy but even so she went ahead and tried to show her sincerity towards the lead and tried to hurt the male lead which then was the husband to the female lead.
There was no jealousy element in the female lead which is great but I have to say a little jealousy makes it more entertaining doesn’t it? Is it just me?
There are times where the female lead is completely fine with the male lead getting more concubines as though four women is never enough. Like she too want to partake in that. It’s a subtle flirting with the females but you can’t be too sure. Also, she was confused whether she was a guy or a girl in the very beginning but I figured it was because of the cross dress.
So I thought all this while the female lead might be bisexual also for the male there are times where males would flirt with him but he kinda stood his ground there but still LGBT element is still present.
Overall, it’s a very open minded show. With elements that I have never seen in other historical dramas. So if this intrigued you and your okay with the fact that you have to open your mind to the presence of additional elements here then you ll more or less enjoyed it.
I guess the whole thing took my by surprise so I was just confused due to the LGBT element kinda contradicts the romance element between the leads. But nothing wrong with that. I m all for the something new and different but this was a lot to take in.
But knowing that I might still rewatch this just not now.
