enjoyable short series full of all the classic tropes and fun
I started watching this because I heard that it was similar to other dramas in this genre such as "To Get Her" "Unique Lady" and "Love and the Emperor." Though this is a short series, it really does best at what it sets out to do.
Riding on the popular trend of "FL gets sucked into a historical setting (from a book or script or game or drama) and tries to survive while developing a love story with the ML," this drama is not about whether this drama is "original" or not or if it's super logical at every turn--that's not the point of this kind of series!--but how well it does in playing to these romantic tropes and still make your heart flutter.
For me, it worked really well! I laughed at her attempts to survive, enjoyed her comedic expressions, and her eccentric interactions with the Emperor, and essentially I was with them along for the ride. (I watched all three 1-hr-long episodes on YouTube in one sitting, which is the better experience and flowed better than watching each of the eighteen 10-minute-long episodes, I'd say.)
For every moment that I was supposed to feel the emotions, I was there with them. For every romantic scene between the FL and the ML--where the cameras are spinning and there are flowers or snow falling and music swelling--I enjoyed it. Loved the OST. Really felt the emotions from the two lead actors Wang Lu Qing and Cheng Lei. They were fantastic.
If you're a sucker for good ol' romantic tropes of a cold Emperor slowly warming up the FL, I think you'll like this drama just fine. Just don't expect it to be longer because it's really meant to be a short series!
NOTE: Do not watch this expecting it to mention the things said on the summary for this drama, lol. Some of the info that it said on here did not even appear in the drama so I don't know what it was talking about, lmao.
(It says "Liang Wei Wei, a track and field student with superhuman strength and an idolater, accidentally entered a historical drama starring the idol Jing Qing." But this info never comes through? We know she's a track and field student but that's about all that really shows in the drama. I didn't even know she had "superhuman" strength or that the drama she entered starred the "idol"...that would've made this drama even more interesting but it never comes up explicitly.)
