Super fast-paced Short Story!
First time giving a review here so pardon me if I give too much explanation cos I'm super hyped after watching this show!
I was intrigued by the plot since I LOVE HISTORICAL SHOWS and furthermore, it's time travel!!
I was scrolling through the reviews and was shocked to see that most of them says that its only 3 episodes with 50mins+- duration at most.
I was like why not give it a try to see if its a good show or not. I mean there's no harm, right? HAHA
After watching, I felt like the start of the show was just meh but it slowly progressed and I fell completely in love with the show! AND THE SHOW WAS SUPER FAST-PACED! I freaking love the fact that there were no nonsense fillers and the draggy plots lol!
I love how the story revolves around the leads and showed the really good chemistry between both of them.
Female lead is very bubbly, optimistic, resilient and very funny! I can never get enough of her because she's so likeable and I could totally relate to her!
Male lead is more of a wary, paranoid, full of motives kind of monarch, understandable since he grew up in a political environment. There were some great character development here as he eventually warmed up to her and turned into a loving husband.
As for the supporting characters, I just cringed throughout their acting maybe because they weren't very experienced and couldn't portray the emotions much. So, it didn't make me focus on them, rather I was focused on the main leads instead.
There's a good amount of harem plots, jealousy, plotting for the throne and what not but what excited me the most was the female lead just trying to survive amidst the flying arrows aimed at her and she adapted in the new environment relatively quickly!!
Their love scenes are simply amazing and I'm a sucker for such lovey dovey expressions so the production really did a great job at it. Plus I could feel the emotions that the leads are feeling, which is simply amazing!
Costumes are really well-designed for a seemingly low-cost production like this show, not that I'm complaining because I thoroughly enjoyed the entire show!
The music was superb, I love historical chinese songs in general so the selection of soundtracks fitted well with each scenes. Have to say editing was great as well despite the short duration per each episode, very smooth but there were one or two scenes which were abruptly cut so the transition didn't felt too smooth.
Other than that, I would say that the show is overall fantastic and I would recommend anyone to give this show a try! I, myself would rewatch again HEHE.
