Revenge drama done exceptionally well!
PLOT-
This drama was engaging from the get-go and remained that throughout. The plot and characters just hooked me, there wasn't a single scene where I felt like skipping, It was interesting how it started with Xue Fang Fei's revenge story mainly but if looked closely, almost every character was on their journey for revenge in some way or the other which made the show even more colourful. They showed how revenge and power can take people in so many different directions, the same ambitions can lead you anywhere because, at the end of the day, it all depends on your choices. The show never dragged for me. The beginning, the middle and the end were equally gripping and completely action-packed. One of the highlights for me was that the XFF to take revenge was never careless, always precisely calculative.
ACTING/CHARACTERS-
Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue, both gained a fan. I still question my ignorance of Wu Jin Yan before this, such a great actress. Wang Xing Yue made an impact as well. I am still in awe of XFF's character just like Duke Su, this lady has brains and she was always a step ahead. Actors playing Shen Yu Rong and Princess Wanning are impressive here as well. The cast overall has done a phenomenal job. One thing which I like the most is the backstory of the characters which helped me understand them a bit better, to know the WHYs behind them. so no one came across as arbitrary. They made me feel bad for them here and there but you never stop hating them as well. One character who creeped me out throughout was SYR, kudos to the actor. It is a job well done. Way too many characters I hate and love, quite balancing.
ROMANCE-
My favourite kind of romance is when FL and ML gradually build trust helping each other along the way and supporting each other through thick and thin eventually leading to the healthiest relationship with lots and lots of respect, and unwavering trust in each other. The slow-burn romance ended up hitting all the spots, loved the couple way too much. Their scenes together were making my day.
ENDING-
The ending was satisfying, especially after watching so many 10/10 dramas with such crinkled endings, this one was done well. Nothing came across as random.
