Loosey Based
Overall, it is an okay series. The music lends itself well to the show. The sets and clothing are beautifully done. Both of these elements work well together to set the mood and tone. Its historical aspect is a little rough around the edges. I found myself questioning certain details. I really went into this drama wanting to love it. However, it differs too much from its source material. That is most evident in the first 20 minutes when you realize it's starting at the festival party. By this time, you're already a good deal into the book and Li Lan is already being haunted. There is also the deletion of some characters and the changing of others that is a little irksome. I kind of looked forward to Er Lang in his long robes with the silver thread and his wide brim bamboo hat that covers his face. For the most part it was an adequate first encounter, for me, into Taiwanese dramas.Cet avis était-il utile?
