I really liked nearly every aspect of the story, the characters are all interesting with sweet moments too. I especially liked the actors dynamics, and the cute little moments. The City owner was also one of my favourite parts, it refreshing to see a character like hers displayed in a nuanced and respectful way, instead of the mother in law is evil trope that happens so often. I may be biased but I also loved the Princess Royal, whos story was delicately handled and and relatable. The friendship Chen XianXian and Her servant was also very sweet! This whole drama could've been fantastic!
But Im afraid it was spoiled for me half way through.
I cannot accept how Han Shuo tired to r*pe her. That was so disgusting, and it was made worse by Bai Ji suggesting drugging her when he didn't go through with it. Come on, that was insanely messed up? And then they never address it and act like hes the good guy. Completely ruined two decent characters in one needless scene that didn't even add anything. If that wasn't included I would have given it a much higher score. I finished the series trying to forget what he did, and pretend it didn't happen, which I think a lot of other people did to. But even so it was always in the back of my head during their scenes together, from that point onward ,despite everything trying to convince us that Han Shuo wasn't bad, I always felt a edge of fear for Chen XianXian that I think wasn't intended.
I hear theres rumour of season 2 and I do plan on watching it. But yikes I cannot stop thinking about that moment.
