It was nice. I watched it with curiosity from beginning to end. The slightly different clothes and make-ups were interesting. In other words, they tried something different than the costume dramas I watched. They made their differences felt.
In terms of subject, it is again a female success story. It is a subject we have become accustomed to in CHINESE dramas lately. It is handled nicely. Except for some simplicity. We can say that it is written, directed and plotted flawlessly. There are also some extremes. I cannot imagine such glamorous parties, store openings, places where people shopped in large numbers in those times. It seemed utopian to me. They used their imagination. It was nice, but it is not an assumption appropriate for the period. At most, there could be neighbor-to-neighbor chats. Games could be played among themselves. Shopping could be done together. Food was served. There could be differences in things like weddings, holidays, festivals. People have fun among themselves. I do not think that the glamorous situations shown here could happen. It seemed exaggerated to me.
Other than that, I liked the actors. The harmony of the leading roles was very good. It is as if Li Xian was created for this role, he suits the role so well. Yang Zi is the usual Yang Zi. She plays flawlessly. She plays beautifully. Same. As they say her presence is enough, she is such an actor. She adds color. She adds difference. I really liked Miles Wei's performance in the supporting role, which I would not have accepted. She played as if she had lived this role, added value to her performance, she had such a way of eating flowers that you would think she had lived the event and gave the impression like this. She was that good. I liked it very much. In my opinion, she should receive an award for her performance. I think she was specially chosen for that role. Zhang Ya Win was also very good. She portrayed the hairy princess very well. She gives a beautiful image. The make-up and clothes also suit her. She was shining. But when her role is bad, it disappears in the eyes of the person in an instant. She was very good in the other supporting roles. Shao Yun, who played Sheng Yi, was one of them. Well done. I think I distinguished her from the others. She was very good. There is a second season of the series, so I did not understand anything from the ending. I am waiting for the continuation. I recommend it to everyone. They should watch it.
