Light Hearted, Feel Good Drama
I wasn’t familiar with the cast when I started watching, just gave it a go since it was recommended on YOUKU. It was a sweet and lighthearted drama. Story plot was new and refreshing so it was interesting to watch. I didnt watch the older one released in year 2010 so it felt good to watch. Mid way it got a bit draggy , too much unnecessary dialogs and too long to capture the antagonist. As an overall it was a fairly nice watch with the cast, all of them played their role well. I liked all the different couples as they all had good chemistry overall. Very rare in a drama that everyone’s scenes were nice and well done.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Midsummer Night's Dream meets Twelfth Night (kind of)
I absolutely loved this show. Usually I find C-Dramas overly dramatic and way too long. This was 24 45-min episodes which was totally manageable.The characters were cute and loveable - especially the sickly groom and the martial-arts bride and their super cute interactions. The noble bride and military groom were also very loveable, and added an element of maturity to the show. I loved the side characters too - like pingwei, the bride's handmaiden, the apothecary boy and his adoptive mom, the mute sister and master Liu.
The motivations of the villian and his accomplices were a little unbelievable IMO. Especially given that his grandma doted on him and gave him whatever he wanted.
Fun fact, Juan Zi who played the queen in the 2023 version played princess chang ping in the 2001 series.

Fresh meat actor/ actress drama
The only good thing i can say is that they followed the same story line from the drama with the same name back in 2001. The acting not horrible but not great either. ALOT of fresh faces so didn't expect much. Basically unless you are there just to see handsome/ pretty faces, this drama is kind of a time waster. I really couldn't get into the drama due to the acting. Not sure what the rate will be when it is finished but as of right now, the chance of it being higher than 3 stars is kind of rare for me.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
For some I think might be ok, just not for me
I watched 3 episodes and wasn't feeling it....I thought music/soundtrack was ok....
Acting overall from the Leads & Supports very good....
Story however is boring.... I said it on chats, it's clearly a low budget drama, don't expect anything with Wuxia fighting or fantasy or super special effects that will lift the budget up but the story of romance/comedy just not enough for me only....
Comments people on E8 so many clearly enjoying. If you are one of those, please continue to watch and enjoy...
