Be prepared for the most satisfying and well balanced K drama on your plate!
So this is the first K drama I have ever watched and...I just love it! The plot hooked me in right from the beginning. Not gonna lie I was not a fan of K dramas, it was actually my bestie who suggested this and I found the topic interesting so I decided to give it a go. And it was amazing. It completely satisfied me.The plot was just...wow. I loved the idea, and there was always something happening on screen that made it impossible to stop watch. For the people who rated this below 8/10, I will never understand you. Of course there were cute, cosy and adorable moments with just the right pinch of humour and comedy in the midst of all seriousness. It was a very balanced blend of an interesting plot with a bit of humour and romance. There are also scenes that make you tear up, or maybe just me cause I'm really sensitive...But still!
And the acting was also really good as well! This being the first K drama I have ever watched, and not knowing any actors or actresses I knew that Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Suk, were definitely one of my favourite actors.
Okay, not gonna lie I forgot all about the music so I listened to it again and I wouldn't say that I liked it but I wouldn't say that I hated it. Altogether the music was alright but I didn't fall in love with it like I normally do.
The re - watch value is high because I re - watched the whole thing like 5 times again as soon as I finished it. And then I got tired of watching it over and over again, but now I'm back to it again.
So overall this is an amazing drama, the only reason I didn't give it 10/10 is because it was kinda sad, and bits where they were trying to create suspense were actually sometimes (very rarely) confusing. But all in all I would completely recommend this.

Everything in this drama is amazing. From the story/plot to the music
ZLY and WY are both one of my favourite actors, so I started this drama with a lot of eagerness and hope. And the drama definitely satisfied me. It's now part of my top five favourite dramas. And once I finished it, I could not get over the it. I think Ire-watched it again like two times after finishing it. The plot did move slowly, and I only realised that after I re-watched it because they made it up to you by keeping you occupied with something else. There were a few bit that sent me stumbling. And I definitely cried at least twice during this drama(by that I mean the acting was that good, not that the drama was that sad).
The chemistry between ZLY and WY was also great. I think you could kind of see the awkwardness, but also the love they possess for each other at the same time. All of the actors did a great job, in fact I sometimes even forgot that this was a drama and not real. I really loved ZJQ's character (Li Yan) in this. Whenever she appeared on screen I would make sure that I wasn't eating or drinking anything for fear of the fact that she would make me choke while laughing. And the chemistry between Chuchu and Li Sheng and Yang Jin and Li Yan was so cute. It was literally to die for.
As you can see from the rating I gave the music a perfect score of 10, because I personally fell in love with the music. I made sure I listened to the opening song for each and every sing episode, so that the song and music would be stuck in my head. Yeah, that's a bit weird...okay really weird, but that just shows how much I like the music for this drama. And I also felt the appropriate music was played at an appropriate time.
ALERT!THIS IS A VERY SMALL SPOILER THAT MAY OR MAY NOT AFFECT YOU!
Also if you hate dramas that have a sad ending. You don't have to worry about that for this one.
So I think on a whole this is my dream drama. It has ZLY and WY. Great plot, acting and music.
It is definitely worth your time. I recommend this drama to you a 100%. Hope you can watch and enjoy this drama like me.
❤ ❤Thanks for reading this awfully long review!❤ ❤

An encaptivating story
This is a wonderful piece of work. In fact, it is one of the first dramas I have ever watched and it hooked me in right from the beginning . The story itself is beautiful and the acting was top notch. The music also really set the scene well. The parts with Feng Jiu and Emperor Dong Hua were very sweet, but heart breaking. Although the story goes at a nice pace, it was a bit too long I don't have the patience to watch it again, as you can from my relatively low rating for the rewatch value. However I have watched it twice and the CGI is really good. Fortunately the story has a happy ending (spoiler alert). All in all I recommend it. Even if it was long it was worth the time.Was this review helpful to you?
