It's a story about perseverance towards achieving your own dream!

this is a story about perseverance towards achieving our own dream! this is a process of growth in life. i am very attracted with this kind of inspirational story that can lend us some strength and wisdom to muddle through our own path.

this story is logical, fast paced, emotional and sincere.

this story centered around the life of gao jialin. being born in a farmer family in a remote humble village, he has a very big dream. that is to go to the big city shanghai and find a new life there. his dream is what fueled him to study very hard to pass the college entrance examination. nobody from his village has been to a college before, so they also put a lot of hope in gao jialin to be the first one to do so. but unfortunately, a betrayal from the people around him had crushed his dream to ashes.

but he didnt give up. eventhough he fell down again and again, suffered and beaten down by fate, he still hold on to his dream. he tried again from scratch to walk slowly towards his dream.

and there's also romance in the story as love is also a part of our growth.

the male lead is not the typical perfect hero, he does commit mistakes and makes wrong choices in love. its normal for you to get angry and scold him for what he did! but this is what realistic drama is about, because people in reality do have flaws. we learn to be better along the way of our life. you will realise that the male lead had began to slowly change the way he sees his own life and the people around him. on the otherhand, the female lead has a very pure and kind character. she deserves all the goodness in the world.

A heartwarming and realistic depiction of queen dugu

this drama bring so much happiness to me. i was glad to come across a drama that i can watch to lift my mood and just let me enjoy all the warmth of the yang jian and dugu jialou's family. i loveee the gorgeously handsome chen xiao as yang jian. he really did a great job. joe chen as dugu jialou is also a great choice. they both matched each other on emotional level as both of them are powerful and well known actors/actress. this version of queen dugu depicts the couple life's in a realistic and hearwarming way. the four yang brothers loves each other and stay loyal to their oldest brother(yang jian) even when he ascend the throne. their brotherhood is a very atractive point for me.

and i really enjoyed the amazing way that they tell the story of how yang jian became the emperor. in this version, he never covet the throne. he served his country faithfully and care for its people even when he is just a normal soldier. he is loyal to the emperors(yes plural lol) no matter how terrible they treated his family in return. its just idk... so beautiful of him to do that. and of course dugu jialou is the backbone in all of her husband's achievement. she support him everytime and lend him strength to get through all of the hardships. she is a smart person and always act with reason. they are a very loyal and loving couple from the beginning till the end. dugu jialou chose to live on even after the execution of her whole family and a failed attempt of revenge, all thanks to yang jian's persistence love and sincerity. it took some time for her to realise that, but boy when she decided to fully reciprocrate his feelings, she really loves him with her whole heart. for me, this kind of realistic and subtle story is really my cup of tea. in a nutshell, i ignored whatever that happen in the last few episodes and just enjoy the story where good people win over bad people and ascend the throne lol.
