Cute casts, could have been a great series

The legend of Jinyan

I believe if this series had a few roles with different casts and Director it would have turned out better.
Heads up: 80% of the entire series, the male lead is upset, nagging, yelling, bossing and irritated. Surely there could have been a better way to portray this character than this way. I used fast forward a lot because it got frustrating seeing him always upset and irritated. For a prince, his character was written to be not so smart that the brother Prince Jin is much more smarter and sensible. Of all casts, prince Jin to me did his role justice and acted the best. Female Lead didn’t fit this role at all.

The story is also blurry: testament, Queen Dowager, the parents of the female lead, the relationship ending of Prince Jin and female lead, the almost drowning in the lake incident, etc., there’s a lot of scenes and situations in this series that wasn’t really explained thoroughly as to how it relates to the entire story. Some just got glossed over, some not even explained as if that certain unrelated scene was just added to fill the time.

I really love the story and the casts were really cute but the way it was written for the screen and directed were poor to my opinion.
