Perfect!!!
Beautiful and all fluff.PERFECT!!!
Will take me a very long time to get over this simple yet one of a kind drama..
It's already a given that Lusi will give a remarkable performance as FL (she always does base from all her previous dramas).. But I am still pleasantly surprised on how well she performed the younger ZS.. I love the small acts/details that made her performance as a child/teenager more authentic.
I have also seen Yuan in "Our Secret" and yes I like him a lot in that drama, too.. But the way he acts, specially how his eyes acts in this drama is just beautiful and remarkable. I have only seen that performance from older veteran actors and considering his age, he's just extraordinary.
I specifically liked the different ways he looked at ZS's depending on her age..
1. The child ZS (portrayed by that pretty child actress, sorry I dont know her name): his gaze is like an older brother who's amused with his sister's antics.
2. The child/teenager ZS (portrayed by Lusi): his gaze shows warmth for someone younger than him but with a hint of curiosity.
3. The adult ZS: his gaze shows full of sexiness, naughtyness, playfulness, dominance, and romance. FINALLY!
Everything about this drama is beautiful, including the songs.

Unexpectedly good.
I'll keep this short since I'm off to watch ZXC's other drama. Lol!I've seen him in "Go ahead" before and immediately noticed his good acting but for some reason I didn't pick up his succeeding dramas, I'll do that after this review because he is just too good as an actor, specially in this movie.
As for SQ's acting, it wasn't exceptional but it is sufficient. Her acting keeps on improving everytime I watched her and I'm sure she'll be phenomenal one day.
Story wise, even though this is only about 2h long, I am very satisfied after watching. There just something sad and comforting in this story.
Initially, I thought the ML character's going to be complicated but he become a total Green Flag, how I love that! He is playful, and caring, and selfless towards our FL even though he is also going through his own personal struggles. His love is just so understanding and pure that it makes me want to have that kind of love too.
Our FL's family background made me understand why she choose the things she choose, she's also selfless and very filial even with the circumstances. I cried buckets because of her relationship with her mother. I am glad she realized that her mother also love her (just that it's tough love) towards the end, it kinda gave her the closure she needs to open up herself to be in a relationship with the ML.
It is the ML who always give and adjust to the FL all throughout the movie so the FL's move towards the end is just fitting and right and it made me like her character more.
That few seconds of skin ship is just so hot!!! This proves that a movie/drama doesn't need to much kiss scenes, they just have to make it right. *Wink* *wink*
I won't really go into the technical details since I am not a pro but I would just like to comment on how they've made a very good job in the transitioning of the old scenes to the current scenes. I also like the no make up look when make up is not needed, it made the scenes more authentic and true. As for the music, just soso for me, I really can't remember most.
I'll definitely rewatch!!!

My heart can't take it again.
I am not a fan of watching movies since almost most of the time it just makes me feel unsatisfied. But this one one I am glad is just around more than 2hours, I don't think my heart can take anymore of it. Not because it is bad, but because it is beautiful and perfect.I've known people that has experienced bullying so watching this makes it more real and painful for me.
Although the bullying scenes here is not as violent or gruesome compared to some scenes is kdramas/kmovies, it doesn't make it less realistic for me, I heard this kind of bullying is what's more common in our society.
This is the first time I have encountered both the ML and FL and what can I say, their acting is on point, the most realistic acting and scenes I've seen so far. Everytime I see their tears falling, it makes me wanna go there and comfort them. Again, it's painful to watch.
This is also the first time I saw a glimpse of the less privilege life of the majority of people living in China, it is something not shown in dramas, I don't know why. This is the reality for most of us, and I'm just glad the FL has the ML to give her silent support and love. No fluff in this movie but you can definitely feel the love shared between the main leads, I am just so glad the ending scenes indirectly tells us they do have their not perfect, but happy ending.
Although, I have given a 10 for the rewatch value, it will take me years before my heart can take it again. I don't even know if I will ever rewatch this since the scenes are so painfully etched in my memory.
This is all heartache, pure, and raw.

A surprise 2nd half.
I was complaining that there wasn't much happening in the first half then suddenly, BOOM, second part came in and I can barely keep up. LOLAs usual Lusi is great here. Her eyes being swollen in most of the scenes are really noticeable, I guess she was crying really hard and towards the end it became evident why. What I like the most is she's not afraid to make an ugly crying face and it does make the scenes more authentic. Her character became more serious in this part, a part of me is glad since her character has developed and matured but at the same time I miss her character's playfulness in the first part. Did she won any award in this drama? I really hope so.
It's a good thing I have waited before making a final judgement for our ML. I have complained before that he's stoic and rigid in the first part, I guess it is just part of his character. He's more diverse here and more on the green flag of the equation until the part where he killed his "father" and suddenly he became an intense red. Flaming, hot, and burning. I was a little bit afraid since he was acting like a psychopath. Not even the FL's love can calm him down (although it was mentioned in the latter part that he immediately regretted his actions after he saw the FL, and now we're back to green. Lol) I like that he's so rigid when talking to other character then his eyes will become so soft when talking to the FL. I didn't realize how handsome LEO WU is until this drama and now I am so looking forward with his drama with ZJM. I really hope he makes an outstanding performance.
Story wise, I honestly can barely keep up with the political side of the story, too many characters, I got so confused a lot of times. Instead, I just focused on their love story and their relationship with other characters, FL's and ML's family and friends, in and outside the palace. Then it became so good. I like that it wasn't an insta love for our CP (at least for FL), that the ML gave the FL time to develop her character and to make a decision for herself. I also like that eventually the FL's love made her a better and selfless person, and I understand why she made a decision to end their relationship after that incident. I just don't understand why it took 5years for them to get back together?! But I guess it didn't really matter since the event/s in between flies fast. But still. We could have a lot more CP time if they got back together sooner. Hehe.
Special mention to the emperor and his two empresses, they have an outstanding relationship with each other. I am glad they also have a "happy ending".
Overall the story is satisfying enough for me. Something that I will remember and be glad that I have watched afterwards.
Rewatch value? Who has the time to sit down watch this again, 56ep is just too long for me.
Music? I'm not a fan of instrumental music and i don't remember most, but I remember feeling so touched with the background music and that's enough for me to give it an 8.

Cute.
What I like:*The comedy. I burst out laughing to a lot of funny scenes which is good, it rarely happens to me.
*The story line. It is solid, believable, and cute a lot of times. I am glad they've removed the part of the book where the main ML made a huge step w/o the main FL's permission, it would have been a red flag.
*Yin Zihan. The only character and actor that stood out for me. I hope to see him in more dramas (hopefully lead roles) in the future.
*The parents. I like that they're so supportive of the main CP. Although, does it really happen in real life?
What I don't like:
*The acting. I'm so sorry but the acting in this drama is either bland or over the top, I won't comment on actors/actresses individual performance since I do understand that some of them are newbies and needs a lot of work. I would like to comment on the main FL's acting though since I saw her recently in WIFTY and she is really good there, I guess actor/actress performances also depend on the director of the drama.
*The sweet/sexy scenes. It doesn't feel natural, every move/scene feels scripted and I can see that the main Leads are not that comfortable with each other it just feels forced.
*The kiss scenes. I am not against too many kiss scene but in this drama, it was just to many unnecessary for me. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times. Haha.
*The music. I just finished the drama about 15min ago and I can't remember a single song.
Still I am giving this drama an overall solid 8 because of the comedic part, I really like the storyline, and Jun seems to be a very good kisser, I'll give him that. I just hope it was executed better.

Roller coaster ride and not much going on.
Is it too late to write a review?This is a drama that gives out a roller coaster ride of emotions, not much fluff since I understand this is only part 1 of the whole story.
Anyhow, I was crying buckets at the first few episodes because of the relationship the FL has to her family. How can they be so cruel specially her mother?! (It's a good thing I watched Hidden Love first since I don't know if I'll get over her treatment to the FL in this drama). It gets a little bit light when the brothers arrived and the FL develop friends. Laughing out loud because of their antics and playfulness, I just love her relationship with her father, two brothers, cousin, and her best friend.
And then comes our ML, he's just too rigid and stoic for my liking, and I remember skipping this drama for a long time because of him. Sorry. Anyway, he didn't showed much emotion all throughout part 1. But I saw a glimpse of their chemistry during the scene where FL was helping him take the arrow out from his body, it was a little bit hooowwwt *wink*!!! So I'll reserve my final judgement until I finish the whole drama.
I just don't understand why they have to drag the part when FL got engaged to another guy, why, oh why it took so many episodes? The other guy didn't offer much to the whole story anyway, and because of this I found myself skipping a lot of scene. When they officially break the engagement, it's just a few more episode until the finish of part 1. Bleeh. And then immediately the ML swoop in, do they need a buffer before they start the official love story?! I honestly don't know.
One thing I really like is ZLS, she's really good here. She doesn't need to say anything, her pitiful looks is enough and my tears are flowing. OMG
This part is a solid 8 for me because of the emotions I felt while watching the first half of the part 1. I found myself anticipating the next episode even though there isn't much happening, I guess it's a good thing, right?
Now I'm off to watch second part.
