First episode is offputting
The first episode was not that appealing since we were rushed into things and made to accept this "devastating beauty" before we could form an attachment or see her own this claim in her performance/interaction with others. But we get to meet each of the other main characters as children and then pushed forward 16 years to see some as adults. They did well with the visual effects and the casting. The children look very much like the actors who are playing their adult counterparts. Both Lords Su Mu and Wei Ming/Min are handsome; Su Mu - brave, fearless, dashing and Wei Ming - sweet, innocent and adorable. Their lady costars also contribute their share and are quite lovely.
There were some scenes that were rushed with questions left unanswered or where the transition needed a little touch-up... *snickers* one that comes to mind is when they did a close up on Su Mu & Ye Lan riding side by side. I think Su Mu ended up being a better, wiser & more supportive man/ruler after losing his Aunt. If she lived to still be around him & influence him, he would've been a ruthless, tyrannical overlord unchallenged by many but dominated by his Aunt. Ye Lan... as a character she started out sort of strong, a little rushed into Su Mu's arms, but a bit annoying later. Especially how she hurts Wei Ming by instantly believing he was guilty or by believing everyone else first without investigating, when he's nothing but mischievous, honest & innocent. I know we all want happy endings but that’s not always the case with the majority of cdramas involving the rise & fall of kingdoms or wars. When we get to the end, they let you know that it's not quite over yet! And that has me excited to see what they will do if there’s a part 2! I'm only sad that they couldn't do more Su Mu... but it feels like he wanted out and to him, that's what worked best. Thinking about it now has me tearing up at the thought. To find out what happened, with lots of fun, suspense & drama along the way - watch it!
Again, truly interesting series! Fantastic actors and effects! Bravo!!
