When I found out that the team behind Legend of Yun Xi were back in another drama, I had to check it out. And to find out that Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Zhe Han are paired out again not to mention that some of the casts from the first drama are also in this drama made me so excited that I had to watch and I could honestly say that this is also a gem.
STORY:
The story seems like an alternate dimension or possibly another life after the events of Legend of Yun Xi. There was no confirmation for this but this is what I feel. It follows Fu Rong (Ju Jing Yi) as someone who slightly can predict her future and her future tells her to not cross paths with Xu Jin (Zhang Zhe Han) or else she will suffer a terrible fate. But as they are the leads of the story they definitely cross paths....multiple times and sometimes in a comical way. They eventually get married like the first drama, but here she was just a consort and not a duchess. The plot seemed similar yet different at the same time although if I would compare the two, this story is a bit lighter than the first. Since the characters here were also from the first drama, I could see the mother in law in LoYX as the female lead's mother here, the female antagonist in LoYX is now her sister whom she is very close with, the male lead's brother in LoYX is now a subordinate of the duke in this story....those kind of connections. It felt good to see familiar faces. The ending of this drama is far more better than the first one that it got me thinking: is this a fan service for the viewers who didn't like the ending of LoYX? Plus, the most important part is that I enjoyed the bonus 4 episodes with some of the cast and the leads in modern times.
ACTING/CAST:
I have nothing to say about the chemistry of the leads because it has been proven and tested during LoYX. As a fan of their chemistry, I appreciate the fact that the same team directed them. They know best how they work and I can see that they are more at ease in this drama. The drama is lighter and Zhang Zhe Han's character is a bit more expressive in this drama than the first one which I liked very much. I have nothing to say but I REALLY LIKE THEM ACTING TOGETHER. Also, Zhang Zhe Han in historical costumes is still so prettyyyyyy. I want them to have another drama either in the modern times or a crime thriller perhaps? Though they are well-suited in historical dramas. I just want them to act as a pair in another drama again.
MUSIC:
Yes, the music. I love this drama's OST. I also added the songs in my playlist. What surprised me though is that Ju Jing Yi can sing. She sang some of the memorable songs in this drama and I liked it so much.
REWATCH VALUE:
Yes. Need I say more? Just, yes.
