Too sweet , your blood sugar will spike!
Plot
The story is about a simpleton named Tao Mo who moved in to a small county to become the town magistrate after his father was wrongly accused and sentenced to death. Wanting to live up to his father's expectations and be able to face him in the afterlife, despite being illiterate and not knowing anything at all about the judiciary world, he threw himself into a mess of politics, complicated friendships and conspiracies. What was refreshing though, is the fact that he was ignorant and oblivious to everything but he was lucky enough to have very loyal and trustworthy people by his side to get him through it all. The other lead, Gu She is a scholar who never butts into country affairs and politics but due to his fascination for Tao Mo's innocence, felt oblidged to teach him a lesson about his ignorance, but ending up staying by his side , solving all the injustice together.
Characters and theme
To be honest, I did not read the novel. I decided to watch the drama blindfolded not knowing what to expect. When I watched the first episode , I was amazed ! The scenes were shot beautifully in HD, all the beauty essence of a Chinese historical setting was captured stunningly from all the right angles. I was busy admiring how beautiful the scenes were, I even forgot to pay attention to the story line at times! Tao Mo is so frustratingly innocent. The story was spunned so well that it made us think Advisor Jin was a snake who was conspiring with Cui from the start, but it turns out that Tao Mo's innocense managed to change his heart as well. I was so worried about Mu Chun being a double edge sword! Adonis played this role so well, you never know what were his intentions from start to finish. The story makes you think that you know what was going to happen but then the characters unfold themselves in the end to properly tell you who is that they're actually loyal to! After watching all 12 episodes , I felt that it did not matter whether or not you knew the trades of the world, it's good enough as long as you manouver with good intentions. Everything will come back to you in the end if it really belongs in your hands.
Overall
The acting was good, it wasn't stiff like other historical dramas. The music was too dramatic for me, but it fits the theme. I would not rewatch it in the near future, but I will definitely rewatch it on a bigger TV for the HD beaut.
